Builder Procurement & Pre-construction Steps

BLUEBIRD RESOURCES

Finding the right builder to partner with can be challenging and time-consuming. It is imperative to the success of your project. Here’s our guide on how to maintain build quality, minimise project delays and budget blowouts.

We want to you to have the confidence that you’re partnering with the right builder.

Secure the best partner for your project.

Bluebird outlines the five key phases and activities that our team undertake to progress construction in an efficient and coordinated manner.

What are the five phases to consider?

Phase 1: Appoint Contractor

Identify and make a recommendation for the preferred contractor

Phase 2: Design Development (ECI Phase)

Undertake Design Development and execute Construction Contract

Phase 3: Authority & Building Approvals

Obtain relevant statutory approvals to avoid construction delays

Phase 4: Detailed Design

Undertake Detailed Design, finalising programs and compliance with statutory approvals

Phase 5: Construction Management Planning

Complete construction management planning and pre-start activities

Why do I need this guide?

It will help you to maintain design integrity, build quality, minimising cost overruns and project delays.

It will help you to understand the activities you need for each step of the Builder Procurement and Pre-construction process.

It will help you to think about what professionals you’ll need to work with along the way, including design consultants, planners, certifiers, lawyers and builders.

It also outlines the generic timeframes for each step, noting these steps can overlap with each other. The design and pre-construction process is a not linear process. We always need to think strategically to make sure the project runs smoothly and as efficiently as possible.

What's next?

Our Bluebird Builder Procurement & Pre-construction Steps is a great starting point and we’ve kept it simple. Each of the five phases may be broken down into more sub-phases – if you need some extra assistance or have any questions about our process, please get in touch.

At Bluebird we can manage the entire project from start to finish, help with a specific phase like commencing construction, or during the build including client-side construction management or construction contract administration (superintendency).

Regardless of what stage you are at with your project, we would love to share our development and project management experience with you and support you through the process.
