All construction projects are different and need to be assessed on an individual basis as there are so many different elements all coming together but to give you a guide, here is what a simple project might look like.
- Buy the Building / house or land.
- Engage an Architect to complete the new design. (Go for planning permission if required).
- Engage a QS to give an overview on the potential costings.
- Engage the full design team, i.e. Structural Engineer, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Subcontractors, as required for the project.
- Complete the full design and go out to tender to receive quotes back from main contractors.
- Tender analysis and appoint the builder/contractor.
- Sign contracts and start construction on site.
- Complete monthly site meetings and valuations as you work through the project.
- Complete the full project and agree on the final account.
- Complete Snag Lists, Retention and Sign Off by the team
