Engaging our services
To provide a fixed price Tender for the construction of the home we’ll need to first form a Preliminary Agreement. When we take on a project we engage with our clients in a Preliminary Agreement. Our initial aim is to confirm the potential budget, likely scheduling and specific details of construction prior to preparing final plans.
To achieve this, we provide:
- A reserved place in our Construction program.
- Introduction to Design Professional or an assessment of your Existing Design.
- An Initial Scope of Works as you specify important aspects of the project.
- Concept Design cost assessment or Detailed costing of construction standard drawings.
- Analysis of structural and thermal design.
- A Bill of Quantities to define specific elements of cost.
- Competitive quotes from our network of skilled sub trades.
After review of our Preliminary Cost Assessment, we continue our work with yourself and the Design Professional to:
- Revise the Scope of Works / Building Specification.
- Confirm updates to the Plans.
- Obtain accurate pricing for materials from reliable suppliers & Sub Contractors.
- Undertake a detailed Bill of Quantities for a Contract price.
- Provide a Detailed Tender for Construction.
- Identify cost options and provide break out pricing.
Following your consideration of our work, once you accept our Detailed Tender for Construction, we can:
- Confirm updates to the Plans &; Building Specifications.
- Prepare an appropriate Contract for your approval.
- Obtain Home Warranty Insurance required for the Building Permit.
- Discuss timeframes with suppliers &Sub Contractors.
- Provide an Online Schedule with key dates.
Costs associated with this work vary from project to project, based on the level of complexity and the scope of the proposed works.. That would be invoiced as follows:
- A Deposit Claim on approval of this agreement for 10% of the contract price.
- A Claim for 40% prior to commencement of our preparation of any Cost Assessment.
- Claim for Balance owing will subsequently only be charged if the proposed project does not proceed to Construction phase with Ovens and King Builders P/L.
Additional Claims for specific documentation costs such as Plans, Engineering or associated reports required for Construction and Permits will be made after Approval for these work.
We use this process to ensure we can provide the best possible service to our clients that want us on their projects for our values, service and expertise.
