building process Flowchart
The building process involves several key steps: 1. Engaging with architects, designers, and consultants to develop sketch plans and refine design ideas while selecting finishes, fittings, and discussing plans with neighbors and local council. 2. Preparing construction certificates by finalizing plans, specifications, and schedules to then lodge the construction certificate for approval. 3. Choosing and checking contracts with the prime contractor that outline schedules, retentions, inclusions and exclusions, and defect liability periods before signing contracts and commencing construction.
