How we work
Most of our work arrives before the drawings are finished. We price it, plan it and test it for buildability while the design develops, then carry the same team through construction to handover.
We join the project team early, often before documentation is complete. That is when a builder is most useful: pricing the design as it develops, flagging what will be hard to build, and finding savings while they still cost nothing to make.
Trades are tendered, staging is worked out and approvals are closed off before we start on site. By day one there is a programme and a cost plan the whole team has seen.
A dedicated site manager runs the job day to day. Progress is reported against the programme and the budget every week, and when something goes wrong we bring it to you early, with a recommendation.
Commissioning, handover documents and defects are managed like the rest of the build: on a list, with owners and dates. We keep answering the phone after practical completion.

Project management
Early contractor involvement (ECI)
Recent work runs from a full heritage restoration with a new basement in Canterbury to a bathroom remediation in Bentleigh. The size changes. The way we run the job does not.
Project systems
Every project runs on Procore and BuildPass: one system for drawings, programme, safety and cost, so clients, architects and the site team work from the same information.
Engagement options
Engaged in design to advise on cost, buildability and programme before construction.
Negotiated or tendered.
Fixed builders margin or open book.
Fixed fee or percentage of construction cost.
