- Contract Administration
SKETCH DESIGN
We gather as much information as we can about you and your project. We visit, explore and research your site conditions. We organise a detail survey to be undertaken and we assess site specific town planning regulations. This information, the ‘Design Brief’ guides the design of the project.
We then develop design concepts, strategies and design layout options based on your brief. The preferred design arrangement is developed in a Sketch Design presentation containing floor plans, elevations, as well as 3D views.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
We seek your input to add a layer of detail to further refine the approved sketch design. The Design Development stage explores materials, windows, doors and finishes in detail. We also seek and manage structural engineering input and liaise with other professionals and consultants, as required.
CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION
By the commencement of this stage, many of the design decisions have been agreed. It is now time to produce technical construction documentation that allows the project to be approved by a certifier, tendered to builders and be constructed.
We prepare detailed construction drawings, specifications and schedules. In consultation, we prepare schedules of materials and finishes, plumbing fittings and fixtures, appliances, lighting and electrical fittings, door hardware, and joinery.
TENDERING & NEGOTIATING
We research and invite builders to tender on the project. We meet them on site, respond to queries and assess tender results, at end of tender period. At completion of tender result analysis, we provide you with our recommendation and if agreed, we proceed to prepare the building Contract documentation and conditions for signing.
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
In addition to ensuring the building contract is administered in accordance with the documentation and expected quality outcome, we also certify progress payments, respond to queries and issue instructions following our strict Quality Management Systems.
We continue refining and improving your project, regularly visit site and resolve detailed construction questions as presented. We can provide furniture selection and procurement services if requested. At practical completion, we compile a list of defects and omissions and ensure the builder corrects these prior to authorising security release.
