Involving clients in the selection of builders and contractors is a fundamental part of our practice as Architects. We believe that the client's involvement in this process ensures that their ambitions and values are reflected in the final outcome. We start by creating a shortlist of potential builders and contractors who we believe are a good fit for the project based on their skills, experience, and past projects. We then present this shortlist to our clients, providing them with detailed information about each option. This includes their strengths and weaknesses, their approach to work, and their cost estimates.
We encourage our clients to meet with the shortlisted builders and contractors. This allows them to ask questions, get a feel for their approach, and decide who they feel most comfortable working with. We guide our clients through these meetings, helping them prepare questions and understand the responses. It's important to remember that the cheapest option is not always the best. Quality, reliability, and a good working relationship are often more important factors to consider.
Once the client has made their choice, we continue to work closely with the selected builder or contractor throughout the project. We act as a liaison between the client and the builder, ensuring that the client's vision is being accurately translated into reality. We also monitor the builder's work for compliance with the design plans and building regulations, and handle any issues that may arise during the construction process.
