Construction In Bristol - Remember: Not
All Construction Companies And Builders Are The Same
The bad ones get the press and the good
ones just get on with building good quality projects on time
and in budget.
It's Not Rocket Science. The Secret Formula
We Use Is As Old As Time Itself!
Construction Projects Are Disruptive and Cost Money!
Having a construction project in your home
is disruptive and anyone that says differently is lying. Sorry
to be so blunt but there it is. The trick is to
manage the disruption
taking into account every member of the family's needs and
requirements. We take
great care at the planning stage to incorporate this
into the schedule of works.
This project will cost you a significant
amount of money, again sorry for the straight talking but
let's be honest about it! In these times of cash strapped
family life the need to expand or renovate your house is going
to be a financial upheaval and you want to know its going to
be done well, on time
and in budget.
Living In A Caravan Or Camping?
Whether you are living in a caravan outside
your house or camping in the front half while the back half is
being pulled down and rebuilt. The combination of family
disruption and spending hard earned savings to achieve your
dream house is going to be pretty much all consuming for the
length of the project.
I personally have lived in 5 renovation and
extension projects!! Although I have worked on many more
construction projects - but on those I get to go home each day
to a my own house. The
first 3 were a long time ago when I was a kid living with my
parents. The builds were achieved with an astonishing (to me
now) lack of disruption and change to daily life. When I grew
up and had the opportunity to renovate and extend my own
houses I followed the same
simple formula for
successful construction projects:
Planning,
Communication and Excellent Quality Work!
At
markwatson services
we follow the same simple strategy in all our contracts.
The initial consultation and planning
process is where we all get to explore the project in its
complexity and fine detail.
We highlight the periods of expected worst
disruption and add them to a schedule that allows you to take
evasive action at those times if needed.
The
budget and cost
scheduling is
transparent - you only pay for materials after they
have arrived! Weekly wages are paid in arrears - you see us
work first and pay after!
This is all done by setting out
a staged payment plan
that protects everyone. You will never be asked to pay more in
any week than is on the plan. Any unexpected costs will be
taken from a pre-determined contingency budget - that is
totally under your control - And never requested immediately,
always discussed, understood and scheduled ahead.
We have
weekly
scheduled progress
meetings so that we all can have the opportunity to see
how it is going in real terms for the other party. If you have
any on-going concerns about disruption or a change of plan or
ideas then this is where you get to say those things and more
importantly, know that you have been heard.
It's a process of communication
that starts on day one and continues till the end of the
project and for as long after as you need it to.
At the end of the project there is a
day of completion
and what a great day it is for you to have your house and life
back!
At this point there will be a preliminary
final payment that will leave you holding 10% of the projects
total budget. On that day, between us, we will go over the
work and produce a snagging list - a list of any little
niggles that need touching up or in your opinion are not
finished. This list will be systematically worked through over
the next day or two until it is complete.
From the day of completion you will have a
full 14 days to live in and examine the work. At the end of
these 14 days, when you are
completely satisfied
with the outcome of the project, the remainder of the project
total is due.
With a handshake and thankyou we will then
leave you to enjoy your new house!
The initial consultation is free, so call now to arrange a
meeting!
I look forward to speaking to you!
