Each of our projects start with an initial consultation; cost-free and complimentary, we know that these meetings are essential for gauging our clients’ ambitions for their projects before drawing up plans or assigning costs. During our consultations, our professionals meet with you to discuss potential proposals and ensure that we come away with a clear preliminary understanding of what you want to achieve; with this then in place, we work with you to begin planning your project.

Following an initial, cost-free consultation, our professionals provide you with a fixed price quote for carrying out planning stage works – and then get to work to help develop your project. Offering our expertise on the best approaches and practices, we provide a range of services; we’ll handle it all – and ensure that we’re complying with building regulations every step of the way. At the end of the Planning Stage, we’ll also provide you with a ball-park estimate figure for the total project cost; although open to negotiation or change, we’ll always aim to give an approximate evaluation at this point.

With the conceptual design layout established and any necessary planning permission applied for, our professionals will now work with you to discuss and define the details of your project. Taking care of everything from construction details to plumbing layouts, from electrical fittings to full descriptions of finishing’s, we’ll also investigate and complete every necessary engineering design and calculation – including requirements for foundations, use of materials and party walls. By the end of this stage, we’ll have specified all the finer details of your project – and we’ll ensure that all the plans and particulars are in place to begin the construction.

At the Pre-Construction stage, our professionals work to collate detailed information regarding designs and specifications. We’ll also provide you with a fixed price for the build ahead – the previous work that we’ve put into the planning, designs and specifications now means we can give you a set price quote, offering you protection from unexpected price increases. With both parties also signing a professional contract agreement, we also ensure that clear legal formalities are laid out – and that we’re both protected ahead of the construction itself.

With final design details and a fixed price contract established, construction works on-site now begin and you’ll see your project start to take shape. With our experienced building professionals always working to the highest health and safety standards, you can rest assured that all construction will be completed efficiently, promptly and with all building sites left clean and tidy every step of the way.At IDF, we also assign a dedicated, experienced and personal project manager to each of our clients; overseeing the entire build process, your project manager will be on hand to answer any questions and to ensure the smooth running of the build – from the moment we first arrive on site to our handover upon completion.

Following handover, all our clients enjoy a complimentary 12 month warrantee period, during which time any defects will be corrected completely cost-free. With client retention deals also provided as standard, you’ll keep hold of a small figure of the project cost until all work is completed satisfactorily; common-place in commercial building law but rarely applied to domestic builds, our client retention deal ensures that any defects are rectified swiftly and without fuss – providing you with peace of mind. At IDF you can be rest assured that our dedication to providing a service of the highest quality continues well beyond the construction stage.
