HOW WE WORK

Step 1 - Initial Contact:

~ Initial contact is made by client through either webpage, social media, email or phone. 

~ Client is made aware of job/quote process. 

~ Onsite consultation is arranged with builder and building designer.

Step 2 - Preliminary Quote:

~ We work with our clients through our building designer to ensure that their design brief is met & we can achieve the desired end result.

~ Preliminary quotation is issued, detailing every item involved in the project from building documentation through to specific construction criteria. 

~ Our quotes are very specific and provide in-depth detail into the exact processes involved with your project. We make every effort to be clear, concise and breakdown our costs best we can to create a transparent environment at first quotation opportunity. 

~ Quotation is accepted within clients budget guidelines, allowing us to move into drafting & designing phase.

Step 3 - Building Design & Drafting:

~ Engagement is made with our trusted building designer. Onsite meeting arranged to meet with clientele, take measurements/photos & gain overall understanding of design brief.

~ Concepts drawings are issued for discussion between builder, building designer & client. 

~ Now is a good time to make design changes. 

~ Client accepts concept drawings, allowing the process to move into engineering phase.

Step 4 - Engineering:

~ Engagement is made with our trusted engineer. Onsite meeting arranged to take measurements/photos.

~ Required soil testing is completed so engineers can determine the correct foundations needed for the project at hand.

~ Discussion drawings are issued to builder. Builder liaises with engineer to ensure the structural elements required for the project don't impede the aesthetics of the design brief.

~ Builder accepts concept drawings, allowing the building designer to complete their final drawing set.

Step 5 - Final Quotation/Pricing:

~ Once  engineering is completed drafting drawings are updated with all the relevant and correct information as per client design brief. 

~ Quotation can now be updated to provide a final construction cost of works. 

~ All elements of your project can be quoted efficiently & accurately. 

~ This allows us to be transparent with our clients. By having detailed & accurate quotes it avoids variations throughout the project and gives our clientele piece of mind their contract is fixed price and won't change during construction.

~ Final Quotation is accepted.

Step 6 - Contract Signing:

~ Draft contract is drawn up with all the relevant particulars for clients to look over. 

~ Documents issued as part of the contract include:

• Final Construction Drawings

• Final Engineering Drawings

• Accepted Final Quote

• Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) Certificate

~ We ensure that the contract is explained to our clients and they are aware of the particulars and how the contract is designed to work for both client & builder. This creates understanding with our clients, educating them through the process. 

~ Once client is happy with the draft contract, watermark is removed & contract is issued for electronic signing/initialing.

Step 7 - Building Permit Application:

~ We facilitate the building permit application process for our clients, this includes:

• Using the "terms of appointment" form, we fill out & lodge the application form on clients behalf to the Relevant Building Surveyor (RBS)

• Ensuring all the required documents are submitted to the RBS:

  • • • • • • Construction Drawings

            • Engineering

            • Soil Reports

            • Title/Plan of Subdivision

            • Property Information Certificate

            • Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) Certificate

            • Any required Council or Water Authority Consents

            • Signed Contract

• Enuring the any RFI's (request for further information) for the RBS are adhere to. 

~ Once the above process is completed, RBS submits the permit to the BPC (Building Plumbing Commission) for the permit levy to be paid. This releases the permit number and the building permit is issued. 

~ Both builder & client obtain a copy of the stamped building permit documents.

Step 8 - Construction Phase:

~ Construction commences. BG Construction Group is with our clients every step of the way, ensuring their project completed with strong attention to detail.

~ Mandatory stage inspections (by relevant building surveyor) are completed at:

• Base (footing) Stage

• Frame Stage

• Final Completion

This ensures that the project is constructed as per the structural requirements & meets relevant construction codes. 

~ Clients can have piece of mind their project is constructed accurately to the approved construction drawings, engineering & building permit guidelines.

Step 9 - Project Completion (Handover):

~ Project is officially handed back to the clients. 

~ Site is cleaned with all rubbish being removed.

~ All mandatory inspections are completed.

~ Final Occupancy & trade certificates are issued, showing compliant work has be conducted.

~ Customer feedback is issued.
