DESIGN AND BUILD
SERVICE: DESIGN AND BUILD
WE ARE A SMALL, UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TEAM
Many of the structures that we build these days are iterations of our core product range, these are tried, tested, and registered designs, and the can be can be modified to suit most needs.
Our build process typically proceeds along the following lines:
Proposal:
- When we understand your needs we can offer an initial proposal.
- The proposal will contain an estimate of the costs for the project.
- The proposal will offer a firm cost for the site visit.
- A site visit is required in almost all cases before a firm quote can be provided.
Planning, Quote, Contracts:
- When you accept the initial proposal, we will arrange the visit to make sure the structure will fit and function at your site.
- we may need to make changes to the inital design.
- After the visit and minor changes we can offer a firm quote, and prepare general arrangement drawings for planning.
- It will be necessary to exchange contracts. Adventure Developments has some standard terms and conditions.
Compliance, Design, Fabrication, Purchasing.
When we agree terms, you accept the quote, and pay a deposit, we:
- Start project planning, prepare SWMS, risk assessments, manuals etc.
