Design and build
The design and construct services Martina Hayes offers is as convenient and time-saving as it gets for clients who aim to undertake a building project.
Whether you intend to renovate or extend your existing home or want to erect a brand new house, we speak the language of design and construct (D&C), partnering collaboratively with engineers, surveyors and builders to forge excellence in everything we do. Saving our busy clients valuable time, we coordinate the whole of the building process from the initial idea through to construction and the selection of the finishes to the completed project.
Construction with budget control
While our clients bring a unique vision to every project, we contribute our knowledge and experience in planning, construction coordination and budget control. We treat every project as if it were our own by bringing in the best building professionals insisting on the highest of standards to build or renovate your home. This ensures that your dream home becomes a reality that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.
Communication in Design/Build projects
The first step we will make is outline the needs of our clients and share in their vision. In doing so, we are able to understand the full scope of the project and ensure all factors have been properly considered. By doing this, we start on the right step with strong communication from day one. We ask our clients to discuss both how they want their house to function and what they are hoping to achieve with the structure in the longer term. This is to strike the right balance between providing advice to deliver exactly what you have in mind, but at the same time devising solutions and suggestions you might have never thought of.
