What to Expect During Each Phase of Construction

Embarking on a construction project can be both exciting and daunting. Understanding the process from start to finish can help set your mind at ease. At All Innovative Building, we ensure our clients are well-informed and prepared for each step of the journey. Here’s what you can expect during each phase of construction.

Phase 1: Transparent Budgeting and Value Engineering

Building Trust with Transparent Budgeting

At All Innovative Building, we believe that a successful construction project starts with a clear, transparent budget. From the very beginning, our clients are fully informed about where every dollar is spent. This transparency builds trust and ensures that there are no surprises down the line. We provide detailed cost breakdowns and regular updates, allowing our clients to make informed decisions and feel confident in their investment.

Maximising Value with Engineering Expertise

In conjunction with transparent budgeting, we employ value engineering to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of your project. Value engineering is a systematic and organised approach to providing the necessary functions in a project at the lowest cost. By carefully analysing the project’s requirements and exploring alternative solutions, we ensure that you get the best value for your money without compromising on quality.

Phase 2: Pre-Construction Planning

Initial consultation and design

The journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, needs, and budget. Our architects and designers collaborate to create plans that reflect your aspirations while adhering to local regulations and building codes.

Permits and approvals

Securing the necessary permits and approvals is a critical step. Our team handles all the paperwork, ensuring that your project complies with all legal requirements before construction begins.

Phase 3: Site Preparation and Foundation

Site clearing and excavation

Once all plans are approved, the site is prepared. This involves clearing the land, excavating for the foundation, and ensuring the ground is stable and level.

Foundation Construction

The foundation is the backbone of any structure. Depending on your project, this may involve pouring concrete, laying blocks, or other techniques to provide a solid base for your home.

Phase 4: Structural Framing

Building the Framework

With the foundation set, framing begins. This includes constructing the skeleton of your home—walls, floors, and roof structures. You’ll start to see the shape of your new home take shape during this phase.

Installing Windows and Doors

Windows and doors are installed once the frame is complete, providing the first glimpse of your home’s exterior look and feel.

Phase 5: Exterior and Interior Work

Exterior Finishes

Exterior finishes such as siding, roofing, and painting are applied to protect your home from the elements and enhance kerb appeal.

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC

Simultaneously, our skilled tradespeople work on installing plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC. This ensures that your home is not only beautiful but also functional and comfortable.

Insulation and drywall

Insulation is added to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Drywall is then installed, creating the interior walls and ceilings.

Phase 6: Finishing Touches

Interior Finishes

This phase involves installing flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and other interior finishes. Your home starts to reflect your personal style and design preferences.

Final Inspections and Walkthrough

Before handing over the keys, final inspections are conducted to ensure everything meets our high standards and local building codes. We then conduct a walkthrough with you to address any last-minute concerns or adjustments.

Phase 7: Handover and Move-In

Handover

With all the work completed and approved, we hand over the keys. This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter in your beautiful, custom-built home.

Post-Construction Support

Our commitment doesn’t end at handover. We provide post-construction support to address any issues that may arise after you move in, ensuring your complete satisfaction.
