Support for every stage.
BLAKES CONSTRUCTION (SW) LIMITED supports residential building projects from early feasibility and development planning through design coordination, construction and completion.
One point of coordination across a changing project.
Residential building projects develop over time. The information, people and priorities involved at the early stage are not always the same as those involved during construction.
Our services are structured around those changing stages, providing practical support where coordination, organisation and communication are required.
Six areas of support. One connected process.
Residential development involves a series of connected decisions, activities and people. Our role is to provide practical support across those stages, helping project information, communication and agreed actions remain clear as the work develops.
The level of involvement can vary from one project to another. We discuss the requirements, responsibilities and expected scope with each client before work begins.
Feasibility & Development Review
Early-stage support for understanding a proposed residential development, reviewing the information available and identifying the practical steps that may need to be considered before the project moves further forward.
A development can begin with a site, an initial idea or a proposed change to an existing property. At this stage, having a clear understanding of the project and the information available can help establish a sensible route forward.
Support may include- Initial review of the proposed residential project
- Discussion of site and development requirements
- Review of available project information
- Identification of information still required
- Discussion of potential project stages and activities
- Coordination of early discussions with relevant project participants
- Clarifying practical next steps before further project work
Development Planning
Support with organising the requirements, activities and information associated with a residential building project as the development becomes more clearly defined.
Development planning is about creating a clearer route between the early project discussions and the activities that need to follow. We help keep relevant information and agreed actions organised so that the people involved understand what needs attention as the project progresses.
Support may include- Discussing project objectives and practical requirements
- Organising key development activities and priorities
- Coordinating project information between participants
- Maintaining visibility of upcoming project actions
- Supporting communication around project requirements
- Following up information required for the next stage
- Helping establish a clear sequence of project activities
Design Coordination
Practical coordination of project information and communication between the people involved in developing and progressing the design for a residential building project.
Design development often involves information moving between the client, architects, consultants, contractors and other project participants. Our support focuses on keeping that communication organised and helping relevant information reach the people who need it.
Support may include- Coordinating design-related project information
- Communication with architects and relevant consultants
- Reviewing project requirements and outstanding information
- Tracking information required for subsequent activities
- Supporting communication between design and construction participants
- Following up agreed design-related actions
- Helping maintain a clear flow of information between stages
Construction Coordination
Practical project support during construction, helping coordinate communication, information and agreed activities between the people involved in delivering the building project.
Once construction begins, project activity becomes more immediate and communication between participants becomes increasingly important. We support the coordination process around the project so that outstanding matters, information and agreed actions remain visible.
Support may include- Construction-stage project communication
- Coordination with contractors and project participants
- Organising relevant project information
- Following up agreed actions and outstanding requirements
- Supporting communication around upcoming construction activities
- Coordinating project discussions and updates
- Helping maintain continuity between project stages
Project Progress
Ongoing support for keeping track of project activity, outstanding requirements and upcoming actions as the residential development moves through its construction stages.
Project progress is not simply about what has been completed. It also involves understanding what remains outstanding, what information is still required and which activities need attention next. Our support helps maintain a practical view of these moving parts.
Support may include- Regular project progress discussions and updates
- Tracking outstanding project matters
- Following up agreed actions
- Maintaining communication with relevant participants
- Identifying information required for upcoming stages
- Supporting coordination of project updates
- Preparing for activities leading towards completion
Completion & Handover
Support during the final stage of a residential building project, helping organise outstanding matters, communication and information as the project moves towards completion and handover.
The final stage of a project often brings together outstanding actions, final information and arrangements involving several participants. We help maintain a clear list of matters requiring attention and support communication as the project moves towards its agreed completion and handover arrangements.
Support may include- Reviewing outstanding project matters
- Coordinating final project actions
- Communication with contractors and relevant partners
- Following up information required for completion
- Supporting final project discussions and updates
- Organising information relevant to handover arrangements
- Supporting coordination between completion-stage participants
Every residential development is different. The services above describe the areas in which BLAKES CONSTRUCTION (SW) LIMITED can provide project support. The precise responsibilities, activities and level of involvement are agreed according to the requirements of each individual project before work begins.
Clear at the start. Useful throughout.
We begin by understanding the project, the people involved and the type of support required. This allows the scope of our work to be discussed before any project support begins.
As the development progresses, our involvement is focused on keeping communication, information and agreed actions organised around the requirements of the project.
