WHAT ARE THE STAGES IN A PROJECT?
FROM DESIGN TO COMPLETION….
We would suggest, in simple terms, there are two parts to a typical domestic project summarised as follows:
Part 1 – Preparing the Design:
1. Establish and record the Clients brief – a description of what’s works are required by the Client.
2. Carry out a site and/or building analysis, often involving measured survey work.
3. Prepare initial design, and obtain Client approval to proceed.
4. Develop the scheme design and apply for Planning Approval(s).
5. Develop detailed design and apply for Building Warrant.
Part 2: Tender & Construction on site
1. Prepare any further detailed construction design information as required.
2. Prepare and issue tenders to agreed list of contractors.
3. Analyse tender returns and formally instruct the successful contractor to proceed. Visit the works in progress, checking the content and quality of the work.
4. Certify how much the builder is to be paid at each stage.
5. Apply for a Certificate of Completion on behalf of the Client.
