Our Services

Residential Construction Specialist

We adopt a 3-Step Approach which ensures every client benefits from a methodical process whereby their projects are undertaken efficiently, contractually protected and built to a high standard.

Step 1 Design and Value Engineering – Establishing a great design for an established budget.

Step 2 Contracts and Tendering – Clear, robust documentation to safeguard your project, managed in a professional format.

Step 3 Construction and Payments – Administering the building contract and ensuing payments are correct.

Design & Value Engineering

For full breakdown of services see below

We begin every project by assessing its feasibility based on the initial brief.

Once the project's viability is confirmed, we move into the design development phase. This involves refining the design, adding more detail, and continuously improving its cost acuracy.

Throughout this process, we take an active, collaborative approach, working closely with designers and stakeholders to ensure the project remains both efficient and aligned with our specific design requirements.

Contracts & Tendering

For full breakdown of services see below

During this stage, we gather and then prepare all necessary contractual documents from the various designers and specialists involved. These documents, along with our detailed pricing schedules, are then sent to tendering contractors.

The contractors will submit their bona-fide tenders based on pre-agreed contractual terms. From here, we enter into negotiations to ensure a comprehensive contract for our clients.

Our goal is to help clients understand this process before guiding them through entering into a contract with the builder.

Construction and Payment

Whilst this is arguably the most exciting stage of the project - watching it all come together, we still keep a keen eye on everything for you.

Inevitably there will be challenges to overcome and some variations to the contract. We manage all of this within our overall budget and recommend the regular monthly payments so that you are never paying more than the value of work completed.
