What do builders’ services include?

Local builders can help you with your needs and concerns regarding constructing your home, office, business or any dream property! Here’s what you can expect from builders near you:

Conceptualisation and planning

Before general builders start your construction project, the first stage is to create your concept behind it and plan the blueprints, design and other essential elements. Feel free to plan precisely how you want to as your Tasker guides you to ensure everything is up-to-code and the design and structure are sound and stable. Once the construction plans and blueprints are ready, the next step would be obtaining building and construction permits. This may sound overwhelming, but your Tasker can help you get the right planning permission for your project.

Implementation and execution

Once all the necessary documents and planning are done, your Tasker can now start your construction project! This stage usually starts with clearing and excavating the land to remove boulders, trees or anything that stands in the way of your building. It can also mean demolishing an old property standing on your preferred space while following building regulations. Afterwards, they can proceed with pouring and curing the foundation. Framing comes next, and that includes installing wooden frames and steel beams. 

When your property has been completely framed out, that’s where doing rough electrical and plumbing work comes in. A good builder will install the roof, vents, ductwork, heating, and cooling units and may even start paving your driveway and other outdoor spaces.

Finalisation and completion

The interior of your property is completed at this stage. General builders near you install insulation, drywall, ceilings and outlets. And once the interior walls are good to go, that’s when fixtures such as lighting, windows and doors are added. Renovating the bathroom and installing tubs, toilets, faucets, and sinks can also be a part of this phase. The final step in building services covers finishing touches, from installing your flooring and painting your walls to putting countertops in. 

A construction project may leave a massive mess once it’s finished. Get someone to clean after the builders to make your property look more polished without you having to lift a finger!

Draftsman, building designer or Architect for Reno

$1,000

Newington VIC 3350, Australia

12th Nov 2021

I purchased a fixer upper that is a heritage Victorian cottage in Ballarat. It needs lots of renovation and possible future extension. We are on a limited budget and plan to do as much work as possible as an owner builder. We need to draw a comprehensive plan with guidance to apply for council permit and mentoring in all aspects of building if possible. The overall plan is to do the work in stages. First would be to make it partially livable so we can move in. The initial stage will be fixing the existing building and changing some floor plan which will fit into the extension that will be built next. Lastly, a garage /work shop will be added at the back of the property with back laneway access. The 3 bed house needs new bathroom, kitchen and restumping, possible rewiring and new plumbing too. Some walls need to be taken down while new ones need to be erected. These are just some rough ideas. Please discuss with us for more details and help us clarify the ideas and bring them to life and become workable blueprints. Experience with heritage projects is highly desirable.
