Timeline Expectations: From Start to Finish

Understanding the typical timeline for your construction project helps set realistic expectations and supports better planning.

Typical Project Phases:

• Initial Consultation and Quoting (1-2 weeks): Discuss project goals, conduct site visits, gather information, and produce a detailed quote.
• Pre-Construction Preparation (2-4 weeks): Finalise designs, apply for planning permission/building regulations (if needed), order materials, and schedule trades.
• Construction Phase (Varies): Duration depends on project size—from a few weeks for small renovations to several months for extensions or refurbishments. This phase includes groundwork, structural work, installations, and finishes.
• Inspections and Final Approvals (1 week): Building control inspections ensure compliance with regulations.
• Handover and Client Walkthrough: Final checks with you to ensure satisfaction and address any outstanding issues.

Throughout the process, Alves Construction maintains clear communication and updates you regularly to keep your project on track.
