  READY PLAN BUILD

STAGE 1. INITIAL CONTACT

DURATION: 1-3 DAYS

  • Via website questionnaire
  • Via phone call appointment
  • Via email

Once you filled our Questionnaire and booked your Priority call, our first phone call communication will take place to answer some of your questions about design or construction to determine your building requirements and get an idea of what you are after.

DURATION: 1-2 WEEKS

We respond to your filled Questionnaire within 48 hours and our initial consultation will provide the opportunity to meet with the Edina Building Group team to walk you through the current project under construction. Here, you can ask any questions you may have in regards to your proposed project or simply meet us in our office and have a one-hour consultation with our director to discuss your building requirements and all your queries.

During this meeting, we will also discuss how Edina Building Group can get your new project built on time within your desired budget and saving you thousands of dollars whilst we review your project working drawings and relevant documents.

Following our first meeting, we consider all the information to give you an indication of our expected ballpark Building Cost. This enables you to decide your project budget and required time frame to start working towards milestones.

Our ballpark Cost Indication Proposal is then prepared and presented back to you along with a selection of specifications before the real fun begins.

This paid service includes a complete finish schedule and estimated cost breakdown along with the construction program. This is a minimum of 50 pages in length, detailing everything to be included in your project. Any quote or tender less than this, you should be concerned that something is missing.

DURATION: 5-15 MONTHS (AS PER AGREED PROGRAM)
