From Design to Handover: Understanding the Construction Process

Construction

Knowing the stages of a project helps owners make decisions at the right time. Here is the journey from first idea to keys in hand.

1. Consultation and 2. Feasibility

Clarify purpose, budget and timeline, then test whether the site, regulations and budget support the idea.

3. Planning and 4. Design coordination

Set scope and programme, then align architectural, structural and services drawings so trades do not clash.

5. Procurement

Order materials and equipment, prioritising long-lead items. Approvals of samples and submittals happen here.

6. Mobilisation and 7. Construction

Site facilities, safety arrangements and teams are established, then works proceed under supervision against the programme.

8. Inspection

Stage inspections and testing confirm the work meets the specification. Defects are recorded and closed out.

9. Handover

The owner receives completed works with drawings, manuals and test records. A tidy, documented handover makes operation and maintenance easier. See our services for the packages we support.
