STAGE 5: CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION 

The final detailed design can be translated into drawings suitable for construction. In addition to the drawings, a specification and schedule of works will describe the standards of work expected.

Deliverables:
-Construction drawings
-Schedule of Works (New build , ready mix concrete etc.)

STAGE 6: TENDERING

The process of selecting a builder is called tendering. The construction information is sent to a number (usually 3 or 4) of pre-selected contractors who will return the schedule of works with prices against each item. In this way the contractor’s prices can be compared against one another. This is the opportunity to negotiate the price, visit previous projects and speak with previous clients to ensure that you appoint the right builder for your project.

Deliverables:
Contractor selected & contract agreed

STAGE 7: CONSTRUCTION

Once the building contract is agreed and all appropriate insurances are in place, the building work can begin. Throughout the works the contractors will be certified by the architect, who will also inspect the work to ensure that it meets the requirements of the contract.

Deliverables:
-Celebrations for a successfully completed project!
