Professionals you want on your home build project

A construction of any kind is unfamiliar territory for many. But if you are building your dream home or a project which has specific legal requirements and unique position in the market, it can be a minefield of costly mistakes in the wrong hands.

It’s vital that you hire a builder with a proven track record of experience and the highest-quality construction standards. The professionals you entrust with a construction project will have a radical influence on your success. Maximise your profits by harnessing the skills of the people behind the company name.

That means choosing a builder with the infrastructure in place to ensure optimal returns and an ongoing assessment of compliance with council regulations.

Professionals your builder should have on your build project;

Design consultants

A design consultant must be an authority on all legal aspects of house construction and do the all-important grunt work of completing a thorough feasibility study, organising the contract and inclusions, and keeping you in the loop as the project progresses.

The architects

That new house of yours is an investment, and as such it must capitalise on your available space – and that means an architect making sure that the design is perfectly suited to the site and tenant demand.

The construction team

Starting a new build is an exciting step, but if it’s done without proper diligence and care, costly mistakes can occur. Construction experts should provide site supervisors and a team of tradies who can deliver on time and to contract specifications.

If you decide to make changes mid-build, the Construction Department will be able to organise a Variation of Contract. The team, spearheaded by your allocated site supervisor, will take care of all the essential daily jobs to ensure your job is completed on time.

The administration team

Administrators may work behind the scenes, but their knowledge and function are vital.

They know when and how to organise all relevant insurance certificates and warranties to make sure your investment is protected at all times. Lastly, they will hand over the final occupation certificate, giving you the green light to move in.
