As a trusted main contractor, our emphasis is on building enduring client relationships, working across various sectors and project types, including demolition and civil engineering tasks where required.

5 Key Phases of the Construction Process

Regardless of the size or type of project, all construction projects require meticulous planning to ensure success. You need the right resources, materials, and equipment, alongside clear timelines and budgets.

There are many ways to break up the phases of your construction project, for example the RIBA Plan of Work which defines a detailed process for the project life cycle. We have simplified this process into 5 key stages to provide guidance on ensuring your next construction project is a success. This process can be implemented for any project from your domestic extension to commercial new build.

Phase 1

Initiation

Project Brief

We work with you to create your project’s requirements, scope, and objectives. It’s essential to plan your budget, including a contingency for unforeseen circumstances, particularly on larger and challenging schemes.

Phase 2

Planning

Design & Pre-Construction

Designers are appointed to develop a concept design and support with planning submission and approval. Project Managers can be appointed to ensure feasibility and oversee pre-construction planning, a service we can also offer. All relevant information is issued to carefully selected building contractors for pricing, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Phase 3

Procurement

Appointing a Contractor

Review the quotations recevied, ensuring they are comprehensive and “like for like” includsive of any clarifications. Once a contractor is appointed, contracts are signed agreeing on costs and durations. Planning pre-commencement conditions are discharged, and long-lead-time materials are ordered to streamline the project.

Phase 4

Construction

The Build

Physical construction begins, adhering to statutory regulations such as Building Control and Health & Safety standards. Clear communication between all parties is maintained throughout, ensuring the project is delivered smoothly. Payments are made at key milestones or as per agreed timelines.

Phase 5

Post-Construction

Project Handover

In the final phase, the project is formally completed. Clients receive operational and maintenance manuals, certificates, and the final sign-off issued to the construction company. Our commitment to client satisfaction continues even after the project is handed over.
