What decisions shape the success of a home build?
A residential project can take three to four years, yet many of the most important decisions happen long before construction begins.
In this episode we walk through the entire project journey, from setting the brief and budget through to selecting the design team, securing planning approval, tendering contractors, and managing the construction phase. At each stage we highlight where projects typically start to drift and what good practice looks like when the process is followed properly.
We also discuss contractor procurement, the risks of poor documentation, how delays and redesigns occur during construction, and why rushing completion often causes unnecessary problems.
Follow the process properly and the project is set up for success. Ignore it and the consequences can be expensive.
