When embarking on a new design project, surrounding yourself with the right team to bring your project to fruition is critical. Whether your project requires a large construction team to build a brand-new residential project, or a skilled team of experts to manage remedial work, engaging building contractors in Sydney who have the skills and expertise to manage your project with professionalism and skill, is vital for the success of your build.
Qualifying your Building Contractor
If you are ready to engage one of the many construction companies in Sydney, you may be wondering how to decipher which firm to engage. To start with there are several ways to qualify your builder, and this starts with reviewing their previous project work and learning about the services and skills they used to complete the project. When you interview your provider to determine if you will proceed with their services, ask about their track record including how they meet deadlines and budgets, and what they do in the event of changes to the project for example. This will gauge their flexibility, adaptability and the skills they have on hand to achieve great results in a timely and professional manner. It is also good to understand how they work under pressure, which is common in the construction sector.
What to Expect
Many construction companies will work to a set of tried and tested processes, that allow them to achieve excellent results. To ensure they meet the needs of the client on time and within budget, the general process is as follows:
Pre-Construction
For a project to succeed in meeting expectations, the Pre-Construction process is essential. During this phase many parameters will be set surrounding budget estimates, buildability reviews, and programming advice. Several trained experts will be part of this process to ensure compliance moving forward to the construction phase.
Construction
Once all of the pre-construction goals have been achieved the project will move into the Construction phase. This is the phase where your chosen team of builders will get to work – planning, implementing and building. Naturally construction cannot begin until a number of design and management processes have been implemented. In this phase, you have the option of choosing between construction management, cost-plus, lump-sum construction, or lump-sum design and construction.
Post Construction
While the construction phase is where most of the action happens, the post-construction phase is very important. To ensure the building is maintained accordingly for safety and aesthetics, this phase is designed to support the development as it continues. This phase consists of programmed maintenance and life cycle analysis.
