River Gum Constructions (Nepean)

We provide the full package. This means from the time you contact us, I will endeavour to make myself available to you at a time most convenient for yourself (usually early evenings). At this time I listen to what you want, or are trying to achieve. By way of asking questions and/or explaining relevant practical application I try to “nail down” all the possibilities (sometimes this requires that I spent a reasonable amount of time to design the most suitable outcome). After producing a concept plan, I will then construct the job in my mind, so as to solve any construction problems before they become a reality. This then creates the basis for my quote, as I visualise the materials and construction method to achieve the best result. Once all the quantities have been calculated and checked, I will type a descriptive tender document, and attached will be the concept drawing and recent job references. A convenient time is then sought, so as to present my tender and answer any questions. If you decide to proceed, we will enter into an agreement where you will pay to have us produce Architectural Plans, Basix Certificate, Engineers Certificates, Home Owners Warranty Certificates and all other relevant documentation required to gain approval from all the local authorities (ie Council, Sydney Water and Rural Fire Service). Once approval has been obtained we can sign contracts (I use the HIA plain English Contracts). We are now ready for construction. Construction time can be anywhere from 1 month to 10 months depending on the job. Payments are during the course of the job they are called “Progress Payments”. I will organise all inspections required with the local authorities. I will guide you through from start to finish, relying on open and honest communication.
