Client and Builder Meeting
An introductory meeting to discuss all things building, budget, timeframes and expectations.
Concept Drawings
The design stage begins by drafting a vision for both the client and team. A draftsperson/designer or architect sketches initial ideas to express the concept for the project.
Assessments and Reports
A BAL, Geo-Technical and Feature Survey are performed. This coincides with the concept development stage and through to the final working drawing stages.
Preliminary Costing Proposal
The builder and client establish a preliminary costing estimate to ensure the design meets the clients budget. It is then altered as required or the budget manipulated to suit the end goal.
Working Drawings and Engineering
The drawings are finalised to suit the clients preliminary discussions. All building specifications are also finalised at this point, and structural engineering may begin.
Quote and Contract Signing
A meeting is held to discuss final costs. If successful, both parties sign a Master Builders Contract. This is issued during the build, for the lender, the Shire and the Builders Indemnity Insurance.
Building Work Begins
Once all of the above steps are completed, the build process begins on site.
