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.
