7 Things to Consider Before You Build

Is it your first time trying to build your project or are you feeling knowledge gaps even though you have built?

Don’t fret because Conspert Limited can lay down some groundwork for you!

These are the key factors you should consider before you begin construction.

1.??????Choose an architect to do your design

Yes. Cost of engaging with an architect to design your project will be higher than a draftsman but this is an investment, remember that. A well designed project adds value to the property but also significantly improves user’s experience of the building.

2.??????The project should have all the right amount of details

Don’t go looking for quote just yet. Until you have finalized scope of works for your project, have project details, Conspert Limited recommends you to hold off until then. Without enough details, quotes you receive will be inaccurate, unsubstantial and definitely misleading. Don’t ask for quotes based on DA-stamped drawing. Have patience until you have the minimum of these following documents:

·??????Survey plan

·??????Schedule of finishes / Specifications;

·??????Architectural drawings (Plans, Elevations, Sections, etc.);

·??????Structural Engineering drawings;

·??????Storm water / Sewer Diagrams

3.??????Get your finances in place

It’s not a pocket change to finance a project and nowadays, its difficult than previous years. Having your finances in place from the get-go is important. Even before you begin getting quotes on the project and begin construction.

if you want to be taken seriously and given accurate quotes, get pre-approval regarding finances on the project. No one wants to waste their time and it is especially true in construction because the quoting process can often take a week or weeks to complete.

4.??????Have a budget that is realistic

Budget for construction does not always go as planned so it is best to obtain an accurate cost estimation on project before beginning to prevent future heartbreaks.

5.??????Do your own research ALWAYS

With the earlier points mentioned, conduct your own research first. Nowadays information is readily available in internet. Yes not always the information is up-to-date or right so cross check your sources.

6.??????Finding the right builder

Time to hand over your project design and bring it to life. But whom can you trust with this task? It is definitely not an easy decision. To help you decide allow Conspert Limited to assist with what factors should make you hire.
