How we work with you
At Elevare Construction, we know that building or renovating can feel complex.
Our process is designed to give you clarity, cost control, and confidence, with clear stages and contracts so you always know where you stand.
We work under a two-stage contract structure:
1. Preliminary (Design, Planning and Estimating) Contract
2. Build Contract
This approach protects you from uncertainty, allows accurate pricing, and ensures your project is fully thought through before construction begins.
Discover our step-by-step process below.
Here’s how we guide you through each step.
How We Work With You
-
Before our first conversation, we ask you to complete a short but detailed questionnaire.
This helps us understand your goals, priorities, budget range, and any inspiration you may already have.
Completing the questionnaire allows our team to:
● Learn more about your plans and expectations
● Carry out initial research relevant to your project
● Prepare for a productive and focused first call
This ensures our time together is efficient and tailored specifically to you.
-
Once we’ve reviewed your questionnaire, we’ll schedule a success call with one of our renovation specialists. This can be done via Zoom or phone call.
This call is designed to:
● Review your questionnaire responses in detail
● Clarify your goals, scope, and priorities
● Discuss feasibility, indicative budgets, and timeframes
● Confirm whether Elevaré Construction is the right fit for your project
This step ensures alignment early and allows us to be well prepared before progressing to an onsite consultation.
-
We meet with you onsite to walk through your property, assess existing conditions, and talk through your ideas in more detail.
This face-to-face meeting allows us to provide early guidance and identify any potential challenges or opportunities.
Here we will present our Preliminary Stage Proposal.
-
The Preliminary Contract outlines the essential groundwork for your project before full construction begins. This stage ensures clarity, accurate budgeting, and proper planning.
Depending on the project, this stage may include:
Quantity surveyor estimates
Project timeframes and scheduling
Design costs
Identification of any specialist requirements
Comprehensive project preparation
This phase allows us to carefully assess all aspects of the project, providing transparency, realistic budgets, and a structured plan before moving forward.
-
Our renovation specialist will meet on site with the Designer or Architect to go over the following:
● Your vision and priorities
● Budget expectations
● Timeframes
● Level of finish and functionality
Your feedback is essential, and revisions are made as needed.
-
Based on the agreed brief, we develop concept designs and present them to you.
This may include drawings, layouts, and visual material to help you clearly understand the proposed outcome.
We can recommend suppliers to visit or add on an option for our interior designer to assist you to make your selections.
-
The next stage involves preparing detailed working drawings and supporting documentation.
These drawings form the technical foundation of the project and enable accurate pricing, scheduling, and construction planning.
At this stage, additional specialists may be engaged, including a topographical surveyor, engineer, geotech engineer, and a quantity surveyor (QS) to firm up costs once the working drawings are complete.
-
We present a comprehensive build proposal based on the completed documentation.
This includes:
● Fixed and/or cost plus clearly defined pricing
● Detailed scope to make clear everything that is included in the build
● Inclusions and exclusions
● Planned timeline
At this stage, your project is fully developed, strategically aligned, and meticulously prepared for a seamless, efficient, and expertly managed build.
Stage 1: Preliminary
Stage 2: Build Contract
(Construction Phase)
-
Once the Build Contract is signed, construction begins.
You will have a dedicated point of contact who manages your project from start to finish, coordinating trades, materials, and timelines.
We prioritise quality workmanship, clear communication, and tight programme control with weekly updates.
-
On completion, we conduct a full walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets the agreed scope and standard.
We manage all compliance and provide you with relevant documentation.
We remain available after handover to address any questions or minor matters that may arise.
-
At Elevare Construction, our goal is to deliver a well-planned, transparent, and stress-free building experience, turning your ideas into a finished space you can be proud of.
