WHAT WE DO
Services include home extentions, loft conversions, groundworks and general construction.
From start to finish, we mangage your build.
BRIX pride ourselves on being simple and straightforward to deal with. We will always be upfront and reasonable about costs with a detailed breakdown given.
We like to work quickly, but carefully and will talk to customers regularly so they are completely aware of all the goings on.
Going beyond the creation of your structure, we will deliver out to a full, beautifully decorated finish inside and a professionally landscaped space outside, as you require.
HOW WE WORK
Home extensions & renovations
Initial Customer Meeting
We want to fully understand your dream. This is a huge moment and decision to make in your life, and we are fully aware of this. So whether you have drawings or not, we’ll come out and meet you, walk through your extension and finishing ideas, and discuss how you wish this new space to be used. From here we can make you fully aware of our processes with some indicative prices to help us both make the decision whether we are a match. This part of the process is completely free.
Introduction to Architects & Engineers
Often customers have architects and structural engineers in place and are ready to provide plans to price. However, if this is not the case then we can introduce you to many we have and continue to work with that we trust and rate highly! If you have drawings then this is the time to introduce us to your architect and send us the detailed drawings so we can ask questions and make observations; This allows for accurate pricing and planning on our part.
Provision of Itemised Quote
We now know what is to be done, when the works are to take place and have discussed rough budget costs. We will now get into the finer detail of the project, provide a program of works and an itemised final cost. Often-times at this point clients need to discuss the finer details of what they have requested, and we will always endeavour to get as close to your perfect vision within budget. With this quotation we will also discuss a payment structure that suits both us and you, our customer.
Client Acceptance & Start Date
Costs, works, timescale and payment terms are all agreed. So it’s time to sign off and get the ball rolling! At this stage contracts will be signed and we will agree a start date when materials will be delivered, machinery will arrive and we will have our kick-off meeting!
Site Meeting, Expectations & Break Ground
The week before we begin, or sometimes on day one, we will meet to cover the works ahead, what you, the customer, can expect, positions of portable toilets, skips etc. This ensures your expectations are set correctly and are aware of the upcoming movements. It can be a stressful time, but we ensure everything is covered as smooth and tidy as possible. At this time if any additional architect, engineer, or PM meetings are required then we will have them on this day.
Build to Finish
We have now broken ground and the build is underway. We like to work quickly, but carefully and will talk to customers regularly so they are completely aware of all the goings on. It’s important to remember that no matter what there will be some hiccups along the way… We know this and ensure they are smoothly resolved as they appear – problems have solutions and it’s nothing to worry about.
Snagging
In our process, as we’ve said, we don’t believe in ridged weekly meetings. We prefer to keep communication fluid and will ensure the customer is always kept up to date and involved with our daily works. For this reason, snags are normally caught right at that moment, as opposed to after completion when changing them is more difficult and costly. However, customers will always have the opportunity to run through the entire build in detail to point out anything the notice.
Painting & Finish
We take great pride in the work we do and love to give customers that ‘waow’ moment when they finally walk into their new
space. We find taking your job all the way to completion, including painting and finishings, ensures this happens. We would
hate to think your extension was sitting incomplete an not liveable when we leave – We want you to enjoy it that very night!
Enjoy Your Space
Your final bill is paid, your extension is ready exactly the way you wanted it! It’s time to sit back relax and enjoy your home.
