PROJECT MANAGEMENT

After gaining a thorough understanding of the project, BLD7 formulates a comprehensive project management plan. We consider all of the separate phases of the job to efficiently sequence the individual tasks and our quality team of tradespeople. We develop a thorough procurement plan including itemised costings to enable accurate cash flow management and our client’s peace of mind.

The process is as follows

The Architectural, engineering and energy efficiency documents are finalised which allows the project management to commence.
The client will take out an owner builder insurance policy that covers such items as existing building, proprietor supply items and public liability.
A Private Certifier is engaged to oversee the build process, from the lodgement of plans being approved right through to practical completion and sign off to council.
Take offs and quotes are obtained from all trades relating to the build and a transparent process follows allowing the client to see actual quotes avoiding any unknowns.
Monthly project fees and trade invoices are checked, authorised and paid by the client at the time of issue. This process gives the client full financial control of their project.
Public liability insurances from each trade are obtained before commencing any work as required by council.
Detailed monthly cost control reports are maintained at all times providing up to date accounts of cost balances.
Site meetings are regularly held between the client, architect and trades to ensure the project is meeting all requirements.
Regular, up to date correspondence is the key to a well-managed project.
BLD 7 is also accustomed to client and architect changes during the course of the build and can be managed accordingly.

CONSTRUCTION

During the construction phase of your project, BLD7 works tirelessly to ensure seamless coordination of trades, whilst being respectful of your property regardless of whether you are living on-site during your home renovations, or not.

DEVELOPMENT

BLD 7 works with owner / builders across all aspects of building development, from the initial identification of a suitable location, concept and collaboration with the client’s chosen architects. By engaging BLD7 early on in the concept stage, we will consult with all stakeholders, from set up, to ongoing management and maintenance of a development, ensuring all building operation matters are considered.

CONSULTATION

The first step of any project is the relationship-building and initial discussions with client and the Architect.

We develop an understanding of a client’s expectations and budget as well as communicating the range of services that BLD 7 can deliver. We explore all aspects of the renovation or new build to understand how the space will work for our clients and the desired time frame to make sure it is achievable

Over the 20 years I have worked with Michael we have successfully completed 30 projects, ranging in cost from $100,000 to $6,000,000. These projects cover a wide range of residential buildings from renovations, extensions and new builds through to high end residences, with no expense spared.

Michael’s work ethic is of the highest standard, following through with completion of works at the end of the Defects Maintenance Period, to the ultimate, complete satisfaction of the client. He has an excellent relationship with his trades who, together with Michael, bring to each project a friendly and professional attitude. He has a thorough knowledge of the building process, and his site work schedule is constantly checked and updated monthly, to provide the client with full knowledge of the financial status of the project.

It has been a pleasure to work with Michael over these past years and I hope this continues for many years to come.

Pauline Hurren, Architect

Michael took up the position of project coordinator for my new house in Stirling in 2018. Michael was observant of the building requirements and has well developed trade contacts from whom to source quotes. His interpersonal skills are very good and thus he can communicate openly and with authority to his trades and myself as the client. Michael checks the quality of work once completed and deals with any issues that may arise promptly and effectively. Accounts are well prepared and issued in a timely fashion.

I am very happy to recommend Michael to future clients seeking a quality builder who prides himself on superior workmanship.

Lucy, Stirling

Working with Michael was a pleasure, he was calm and organised and we are very happy with the quality of the work he co-ordinated.

Jayne, Stirling

I have been working with Michael since 2008 as a subcontract carpenter. Michael runs construction projects from start to finish with extraordinary attention to fine details, working on houses with the highest level of excellence.

Kym, Kyscha Constructions Pty Ltd.

I have been working with Michael Curry since 2008 on many projects over the years. Most of the work includes extensions and renovations with intricate stonework on the house, as well as retaining walls, stone fences, ponds, entry steps, and garden edging. We have used many types of stone on his jobs from local sandstone, bluestone, limestone and granite.

Michael’s understanding and ability to coordinate, problem solve, and work with trades, suppliers, engineers, owners and architects is of the highest level. He is very organised and provides plenty of lead time for upcoming jobs, which as a trade to coordinate my own team is so important. His administration organising contracts, variations and the like is first class.

Jason, Bricklayer & Stone Mason, King Design & Construction

Michael provided us with huge amounts of support to complete a very ambitious project in the Adelaide Hills. He is very personable and hard working, and able to communicate well with all the trades and architects. When the need arose he was always happy to roll up his sleeves and bucket out a flooded cellar or shovel away a minor landslide so that the job could progress.

If I were to ever embark on another similar project, then I would certainly want Michael Curry by our side.
