-
Meet our architect and design team to discuss your project and the overarching requirements. We will evaluate the current building and surrounding conditions, offer advice and develop drawings and design concepts in line with the local environmental planning & development policies.Planning | Approvals
To ensure a smooth journey through council we will review of drawings and consultants’ reports. After applications are lodged, we monitor the approval process and periodically liaise with council addressing any issues that may arise. Once the Construction Certificate is obtained, we maintain correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies.
-
Once we have approved drawings, a comprehensive scope of works is completed with detailed specifications to manage expectations and avoid misunderstandings of what will be built. It is important for us that you, the client, understands exactly what is being built and the costs associated.
Finishes, fixtures and equipment schedules are finalised along with lighting, electrical and joinery details to satisfy the clients’ initial brief and approved design concepts.
-
Once specifications and schedules have been finalised, a detailed bill of quantities (BOQ) is produced and the total cost of construction is determined. Client sign-off occurs on the final terms of the main contract, and home owners warranty is issued.
-
Occupational Health and Safety requirements are implemented and monitored.
We will project manage, maintain and monitor a construction schedule, and ensure the scope of works is properly executed by each individual trade contractor. Regular site meetings are held with all stakeholders including the clients.
We manage and maintain the project budget and cash flow and communicate to the principal on all matters relating to the budget to ensure all works are completed as per budget.
-
Completion is called when the building works are complete as per scope of works and verified by Platre & Deco and the private certifier. We then facilitate the issuing of the occupation certificate.
At handover, Platre & Deco will issue copies of relevant certificates. Post handover we perform a quality control review, ensuring our clients’ expectations are met.
