3 Steps for planning a successful modern house build or extension In Cheltenham
With planning now favouring a clear demarkation between architectural periods and styles it is imperative that people get good advice from architects that can bring modern and traditional designs together cohesively; the correct tension fused between these two styles can create something truly stunning that will add to your architecture for centuries.
Step 1: Choose your architect well
The first step is to find an architect that can deliver on your dream, someone that can truly look at the whole picture and create something elegant, exciting and visionary. We can help with this. We have worked with some truly exceptional architects within this field, just give us a call and we can give you a list of worthy contenders.
Step 2: Make sure you are looking at the right quote.
The next step is to find a building and construction company that can interpret the project and concept, feeding back accurate detailed costings and specifications to the architect. To get costings right at the outset is important for the health of the build. If your building company quote is too cheap and the project can't be realised for this quotation, It will have a hard-hitting affect on the project. Getting this initial part wrong can bring a project to its knees. You want the correct fit and finishes, you want the project to hit time milestones, on the other hand no one ever wants to pay too much money for a project either! JDW have a steadfast focus on this initial part of the process, we pride ourselves on getting all the relevant information back to the architect in a prompt professional manner, focusing on getting the costs right first time.
Step 3: Working as one team produces great building projects
The next step is for the builders to work closely with their client and architect to bring the project to life. With an acute attention to detail they should be able to deliver an unrivalled finished project smoothly. Using strong project management and communication techniques, they should be on top of the project and give confidence to the client every step of the way. This is the truly important bit, it is where your project becomes a pleasure or pain. We know communication and organisation is one of the most important values to have as a company. JDW have a proven track record in this department and feel it sets us apart from most. We have enjoyed lasting relationships with many architects and have a long list of happy clients. This is the final piece of the jigsaw, get all these right and you will have many years of happy memories and architecture that you love.
