?? Thinking about building a house and stressing over the final bill? Let's break down the costs. ?? First up, the size of your project matters. More floors and square footage mean pricier drawings and construction. ?? Then, check out the lay of the land. Drawings and construction for a hillside project cost more compared to a project on flat property. ?? The condition of your structure is a big deal too. Whether it's new, a remodel, or needs repairs, these factors sway the project cost. Unexpected fixes can really hike up the final bill. ?? Don't forget the essentials like water line, gas line, electricity, and AC – they're important players in shaping your construction costs. Please remember that professionals with special education and experience can help save money on construction. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Ataman Studio ??

Stop Fire in its Tracks: Why Fire walls and Fire Partitions are Essential in Construction. This article goes over the differences between the types of fire-resistant structures we have in the construction industry. We must all know the differences when talking about life safety.

The Building Approval Plan is a critical document required before commencing construction, ensuring compliance with Building Bylaws, Master Plan, and Local Body Acts. It consists of two components: the Building Plan and the Layout Approval. First-time land or house buyers often overlook the importance of verifying whether the builder meets the terms and conditions of these approvals. Failure to do so could lead to adverse consequences during spot checks by local authorities, which are common in newer buildings.

Unveiling Hidden Costs in Construction: Don't Get Caught Off Guard! Building your dream home or embarking on a renovation is exciting, but unexpected costs can quickly turn that excitement into stress. Let's shed light on some common hidden expenses and strategies to navigate them effectively: 1. Demolition & Site Prep Surprises: - Hidden underground features: Unearthing buried pipes, cables, or forgotten structures can require additional work and permits. - Asbestos removal: If detected, proper asbestos disposal adds hefty costs. - Soil instability: Needing additional foundation work due to unexpected soil conditions can impact budgets. 2. Material Price Fluctuations: - Market volatility: Building material prices can fluctuate, especially with global events. Factor in a buffer or consider price-lock options. - Product upgrades: Upgrading finishes or appliances mid-project can easily exceed allocated budgets. Stick to your plan (or adjust with clear communication). 3. Change Orders & Delays: - Scope changes: Minor tweaks add up and impact timelines. Discuss the cost implications of any changes upfront. - Weather delays: Delays due to inclement weather can lead to additional labor costs and material storage fees. Consider weather contingencies in your planning. - Permits & Inspections: Delays in obtaining permits or failing inspections can cause schedule disruptions and additional fees. Stay proactive and address concerns promptly. Strategies to Manage Hidden Costs: - Thorough Planning & Budgeting: Get detailed quotes, factor in contingencies (25%), and involve your builder in budget planning. - Open Communication: Discuss potential unforeseen costs upfront and maintain transparent communication with your builder throughout the project. - Flexible Contract Clauses: Negotiate clauses allowing for minor adjustments without significant cost penalties. - Regular Progress Checks: Conduct regular site visits and monitor progress to identify potential issues early on. - Emergency Fund: Allocate an emergency fund to cover unforeseen expenses without derailing your project.

Don't get stung by an unexpected stop work order. In the modern era, building departments expect all residential and commercial construction to be completed with the required permits. Regardless of whether a previous owner was responsible, construction will not be allowed to continue until an approved permit for all work observed on site is obtained. Many homeowners don't realize that even minor work, such as changing a window size or moving a plumbing fixture, requires a building permit application. Some think they are saving money by avoiding the permit process. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more projects halted, leading to cost escalation when construction is stopped midway. If in doubt, consult a professional who can guide you through the process. Call us anytime! We are here to help - 604.962.1611

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS When undertaking major renovations, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) might require property owners and design professionals to upgrade existing conditions to current Building Code requirements. This can be challenging and often result in extremely high costs. However, it's important to remember that there are two ways to comply with the current Building Code: 1. Complying with the applicable acceptable solutions in Division B, or 2. Using alternative solutions that achieve at least the minimum level of performance required by Division B in the areas defined by the objectives and functional statements attributed to the applicable acceptable solutions. When compliance costs are prohibitive, consult a Fire Engineer or Code Consultant to evaluate the possibility of alternative solutions, such as time-egress analysis, code deviations, and more.
