WHEN TO HIRE A BUILDER.

An important, and often overlooked, part of the build process is to engage builders early in the design process. When the client can get the architect and builder working closely - naturally finding a clean, succinct, and cost-effective design - the end product is not only a build with maximised efforts in form and space, it also generates a more cost-effective process.

Recent feedback from one of their clients in the design stage has provided confidence for the road ahead. “Compound has been successful in providing feedback without hindering the creative minds of our architects. Their passion and competency are truly unmatched”.

Budgets are real. Having a builder to peer-review architects design solutions is key to taking control of costs, and reducing unexpected variations during the construction phase of a project.

Compound review construction processes from start to finish during the pre-construction phase to identify obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent errors, delays, and cost overruns, sequencing, and construction risk. They advise on the selection of specialist contractors, help develop the cost plan and construction programme, contribute to the design process. This all results in a full client-design-build team that operates under a better team-working ethic.
