RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROCESS
THE FIVE STEP BUILDING PROCESS
1
Initial process and concept design
We visit your land with our Building Consultant to discuss and document your ideas, requirements, house plans and budgets. Design and briefing meetings are held with the architectural designer to develop your brief and a concept design will be produced. Once you are happy with concept design we move into developed design where a cost estimate is prepared, presented for approval.
2
Acceptance of estimate and plan preparation
On acceptance of the estimate, your house plans will be prepared into working drawings. Your selections are documented in the addendum and your working drawings are prepared, presented and finalised.
3
Colour selection/finishes
You will work with interior designers to select the colours, finishes and layouts for your house, while your plans are being drawn up by the Architect. Kitchen designers, landscape designers and colour consultants are available to assist and guide you with your specific requirements. Once working drawings are completed and coordinated, a Fixed Price Contract is prepared and presented to you for approval. Once you are satisfied, the contract documents, including the building contract, working drawings, specification and guarantee documentation are signed. We coordinate all documentation and will prepare and lodge with Council the building consent application, including resource consent if required.
4
Construction and project management
Construction of your new home will commence soon after Council consented plans are received; at which stage a build start date is determined and an indicative timeline presented. Regular site meetings will be held with you and the Project Manager. Progress payments will be required as outlined in your build contract.
5
Completion
On completion, your new home will be professionally cleaned, a thorough quality check will be done, and the final Council inspection will be arranged. At this point you will be invited to come and inspect your new home with the Project Manager. Once all parties are satisfied, we will meet you at your home to present you with the keys along with an information pack about the house and product warranties. A Construct representative will explain the maintenance period.
