Building construction commences long before the bricklaying process is initiated. At Prescom Constructions, preparing for construction is one of the most critical facets of the construction process. It cannot be effectively organised along the lines of resources; it is much more involved than that, encompassing the development of a comprehensive plan for the project regarding the specifics, possible complications, and objectives.
The Foundation for Success
The conceptual stage is the part of the construction project that resembles conceptual art, where your idea is turned into a drawing on a napkin. In this phase, we engage with you to understand your needs, time frame and how much your budget is. This gives us a detailed work plan throughout the project, including the designs, materials, permits, and regulations. In NSW, compliance with the local building codes and all necessary required permits are essential and closely managed so that no delays or legal issues related to them occur.
Liability Of Risk Management: Risk Mitigation And Evasion
One key benefit of our pre-construction planning is our proactive approach to risk management. We don't just react to issues as they arise; we anticipate potential project changes, solve issues early, and avoid higher costs. This proactive approach, from navigating the council approval process to managing construction schedules, ensures project continuity and peace of mind.
Enhancing Communication and Coordination
Effective communication is not just a part of successful construction project management; it's a cornerstone. At Prescom Constructions, we start fostering this culture of open communication in the pre-construction phase. We ensure that all construction participants, including architects, engineers, contractors, and clients, are always in the loop. This commitment to transparency and efficiency enhances project management and ensures client satisfaction.

Prime Costs (PC) and Provisional Sums (PS) are essential terms in construction quotes. Prime Costs cover allowances for materials like fixtures or appliances that haven't been selected yet, offering flexibility but potentially leading to additional costs if more expensive options are chosen. Provisional Sums are estimates for work not fully defined when quoting, like excavation or retaining walls, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Understanding the distinction helps homeowners manage budgets and avoid surprises during the building process.

A pre-handover inspection is crucial when taking possession of a new home to ensure any issues or defects are addressed before the final settlement. Key areas to check include the structural integrity (e.g., walls, floors), fittings and fixtures (e.g., taps, doors, windows), kitchen appliances, bathroom tiles and plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes like paintwork and flooring. By thoroughly inspecting these aspects, homeowners can prevent costly repairs later and ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
