EXPERT GUIDANCE FROM GOLDACRE ESTATES FOR A SMOOTH, SUCCESSFUL BUILDS

Once your building design is approved by both you and the local authorities, it’s time to start the construction process. However, before you rush to hire equipment and break ground, careful planning will save you both time and money. At GoldAcre Estates, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, from budgeting to final inspections.

BUDGETING FOR THE BUILD

Set a comprehensive budget for the entire project, and include a contingency fund for unexpected expenses. If everything goes according to plan, you can use this extra budget at the end of the project for upgrades or lifestyle improvements.

ESTABLISHING A FIXED COMPLETION DATE

Whenever possible, agree on a fixed completion date with your builder and get it in writing. If you need specialised equipment or materials, check lead times with suppliers to ensure everything arrives when needed. Arrange a meeting with your builder and architect to discuss the project timeline and target completion date. At this stage, it's also worth considering a penalty clause for any delays in completion, ensuring your team remains focused on finishing the project on time.

SELECTING THE RIGHT BUILDER

Choosing the right builder is crucial. Ask for references, review examples of past projects, and consult industry professionals for recommendations. GoldAcre Estates can connect you with reputable builders and craftsmen who have a proven track record of excellence. Ensure you receive a detailed, written quote that outlines all aspects of the project so that there are no surprises along the way.

MANAGING EXTRA COSTS

As the build progresses, keep a detailed record of any additional costs and discuss these with the builder to confirm they're necessary. Some builders may add extras to increase profit margins, so it's essential to monitor and agree on these as they arise.

REGULAR INSPECTIONS

Visit the site regularly to verify that the work aligns with the plans, that quality standards are met, and that stage licenses are being granted as required. If you're not confident in assessing these aspects, consider hiring a Project Manager. A project manager will handle quality control, help keep the project on schedule, and advise on any issues that arise, providing alternatives to the builder's suggested solutions where necessary.

FINISHING THE BUILD

At the end of the construction process, ensure that all required licences from local authorities, standards agencies, and utility companies are completed and in hand. Conduct a final inspection with the builder to compile a snagging list of any faults or unfinished details. Agree on a timeline for corrections and sign off with the builder to ensure all aspects are completed to your satisfaction.
