Residential + Construction’s building process

INITIAL CONCEPT MEETING

The first step of our building process is a meeting between the builder, designer and client. Here we discuss your wants, your budget and to make allowances for any future variations. Concept drawings are created here to suit you and are put in place.

PLANNING APPROVAL

Our building process also involves lodging drawings with the Local Authority. It’s crucial these are detailed and fit the scope of the Authority’s plan to allow the process to run as smoothly as possible. We also deal with the Authority directly to keep updated of the status of your application.

WORKING DRAWINGS

After the concept has been approved by the Local Authority, the plans are converted into working drawings. These are completed with your finishes and specifications, so a price can be agreed between you and the builder. To achieve this, our team of award-winning interior designers and consultants can take you directly to our suppliers’ showrooms and help you make your selections. Every client has different desires, they will assist in this important step in the building process, ensuring your home is designed exactly the way you want it to be.

DOCUMENTATION

Once the design concept and selections have been finalised, a cost of the project is achieved. Allowances are always made for variations to the contract in this part of our building process so there are no hidden surprises for you. Drawings are then submitted to the Local Authority for the Building License Approval. Once approval has been received, your project is ready to start.

THE BUILDING PROCESS

This is where Grange Residential and Construction come into our own. Our point of difference is the small size of our company so our builds are faster and more efficient than bigger construction companies. You’ll also get to know our trades like we do: as a part of our team for many years, they are crucial to upholding our integrity.

COMPLETION

We know the building process will be as quick and easy as possible with such an experienced team at the helm. Your home will be built to the highest standards, along with the quality and craftsmanship you’d expect from a boutique builder. For us, the project doesn’t finish as soon as we hand over the keys: honestly and loyalty are at the core of all we do at Grange Residential and Construction.
