Four Steps to a Successful Build

1. MEET & GREET

After the initial email or phone call a Project Manager will direct you to our Schedule a Consultation Page. Once we receive the completed questionnaire, we’ll be able to discuss your project requirements and timelines. We often set an initial site meeting, so we can officially meet you, view the site and discuss your project.

2. PLANNING

Already have architectural plans and/or a construction permit? We go straight to tendering. 
No Plans yet? No Worries. At this point we will sit down and work with you based on the information you’ve provided us to get a complete set of building documents created.

At pre-planning stage? It’s beneficial to get in touch now, to allow more collaboration between builder, architectural designer and structural engineers. Luckily for us we have the first two in house. On rare occasions an engineer will be consulted. Our recommended and trusted draftsman design your project, have it approved and ready for construction. They’ll help manage required consultants, like the city zoning office to determine overall size, and where we can build on your property in order to obtain your construction permit, the final step before building. Early planning allows for a better end result, plus helps to ensure the design meets the budget. 

Want a smaller renovation job (e.g. bathroom, kitchen, one room)? Jake will create a quick plan for quoting purposes.
The design/plan can be created via a site discussion and previous experience.

3. TENDERING & BUILDING CONTRACT

• SITE MEETING
Once we have your architectural and construction documents, we set a site meeting to review the plans, the site and assess the required work. Jake will discuss finishes, materials and products suitable for your addition or remodel and start to create specifications to take into our tendering process. 

• DETAILED QUOTATION
We provide an in depth quote specification and cost report with each and every quotation. Our clients often comment that they appreciate this extra detail. It ensures that you have a full explanation and understanding of exactly what is included and required for your building project. These documents will form part of your building contract attachments.

• CONTRACT
Once you’re happy with the design, job specifications and quotation you are ready to move on to the contract.

4. CONSTRUCTION – LET IT BEGIN!

When the planning paperwork is done, your project gets moved to the job list and given an expected start date. Closer to this date, Jake will confirm which day onsite works will begin. A Project Manager is assigned to the job site, work will progress steadily and we’ll provide regular updates. Jake and team are always available for discussion and encourage communication to ensure the job flows smoothly. 

Required selections and choices will be outlined to you and discussed. We love to help guide you and we can advise of our most suitable suppliers. 

Towards the end of the build we encourage site visits and regular discussion to finalize all parts of the build and ensure nothing is overlooked. We’re readily available to answer any concerns and tend to any questions you may have. At completion we do a thorough final clean before handover of your fantastic completed project!
