How We Work With You
-
Get in touch and we'll have a quick conversation to learn about your project - what you're looking to build, your timeline, and your budget range. If we're a good fit, we'll arrange an onsite consultation at a time that suits you
-
We come to you. Sam will meet you on site to walk through the property, assess existing conditions, and talk through exactly what you want to achieve.
Whether it's a retaining wall, concrete slab, pool surround, fencing, or a full outdoor transformation - we'll give you honest, expert advice on what's possible and what it will take to get there.At the end of the consultation, we'll outline our recommended approach and discuss next steps.
-
We prepare a clear, detailed proposal covering scope, materials, pricing, and programme. No surprises, no vague estimates - just straightforward pricing you can trust.
Depending on the complexity of your project, this may include:
Fixed pricing for clearly defined work
Cost-plus pricing where ground conditions or scope require flexibility
Material options and specifications
Planned timeline and key milestones
-
Once you're happy with the proposal and the Build Contract is signed, we get to work. Sam manages your project from start to finish - coordinating in-house machinery, specialist trades, materials, and timelines.
You'll have one clear point of contact throughout, with regular updates so you always know what's happening on site. -
On completion, we walk the finished project with you to ensure everything meets the agreed scope and standard. We provide all relevant documentation and remain available after handover for any questions that arise.
Our Promise To You
-
Clear. Honest. No Guesswork.
We use a hybrid pricing approach, combining fixed pricing with cost-plus where appropriate.
This means:
● You receive clear, upfront pricing for all known aspects of your hardscaping project
● Any unforeseen work uncovered during earth works and construction is charged transparently on an agreed charge-up rate
● You are never paying inflated prices to cover unknowns. We can offer a contingency set aside to help cover for unforeseen costs.
To further protect you, your funds are held in a secured project account, ensuring your money is used only to pay for trades and materials directly related to your job.
-
Your timeline matters.
You will receive a detailed construction programme with your build proposal, clearly outlining each stage of the build.
We:
● Track progress against a live timeline
● Keep you informed throughout the build
● Work with trusted, regular trades who prioritise our projects
If complications arise, our established trade relationships allow us to respond quickly and keep your project moving - protecting your timeline wherever possible.
-
Peace of mind, long after completion.
We operate a rolling defects list throughout the job so issues are identified and resolved immediately.
Our commitment continues beyond handover:
● Practical Completion and Final Completion Walk Through
● Corrections/defects actioned within one week from Practical Completion
We don’t disappear once the job is finished - we stand behind our work.
-
One clear point of contact. Always.
From consultation through to project completion, you will work with a dedicated Hardscaping Specialist.
● All communication is streamlined through one primary contact● If your project contact is unavailable, our staff will respond within 12 hours during business time
● You are kept informed, supported, and never left wondering what’s happening next
-
Excellence is non-negotiable.
We work with in-house machinery, skilled trades, and high-quality materials to deliver hardscaping that is built to last.
If any aspect of workmanship does not meet the standard we promise, we will:
● Rectify the issue promptly
● At no additional cost to you
Elevaré Construction was founded on the belief that building should be a well-managed, transparent, and genuinely positive experience.
At the heart of the business are Sam and Lucy, the faces of Elevaré, supported by a wider leadership team whose combined skills make this partnership both rare and powerful.
