Yes, clients can visit the construction site, but there are certain protocols to follow. The construction site is a busy and potentially hazardous environment, with heavy machinery, power tools, and ongoing work that can pose risks to untrained individuals. Therefore, safety is the paramount concern. With this in mind, visits should be arranged in advance with the site manager or the Architect overseeing the project. This ensures that the visit can be scheduled at a time when it is safe and least disruptive to the work at hand.
When visiting, it's crucial to adhere to safety guidelines. This typically includes wearing protective clothing, such as hard hats and high visibility vests, and staying within designated safe areas. The site manager or Architect will guide you through the site, explaining the progress and answering any questions you may have.
Visiting the site can provide a valuable perspective on the project. It can help you understand the construction process, appreciate the skill and craftsmanship involved, and give you a sense of the scale and spatial arrangement of your future home. It's also an opportunity to discuss any concerns or changes you might want to consider. However, it's important to remember that any changes at this stage can have implications for the project timeline and budget.
