PRE-CONSTRUCTION
Process
AGATHĒ – Northern Beaches Builders
WHY CHOOSE AGATHĒ?
At AGATHĒ, we specialise in renovations, extensions, and first-floor additions, offering a tailored approach to bring your Northern Beaches vision to life. With well over a decade of experience, we’ve not only honed our craftsmanship but developed a pre-construction process that lays the foundation for a successful build.
As a PAC Process Trained Builder, certified through the industry-leading Live Life Build program, we bring a structured, collaborative approach to every project. This ensures your home is designed with clarity, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness at its core – right from the start.
From the early stages of design through to project commencement, we work with you as consultant builders to ensure your plans are realistic, achievable, and perfectly aligned with your budget and goals.
WHY START WITH AGATHĒ?
Avoid Design Disappointment
One of the most common challenges homeowners face is falling in love with a design that doesn’t align with their budget. This can lead to disappointment, costly redesigns, and delays.
With our PAC Process, we eliminate these issues by entering the process early, helping to guide your design with an expertise that ensures it is planned and costed with precision before finalisation. This proactive approach keeps your project on track from the start.
The Importance of a Builder in the Concept Stage
The design phase is where your ideas take shape, but design decisions have real-world cost implications. A common wall, for example, may appear similar on paper whether it’s made of brick, timber, or concrete, but the materials and construction methods drastically affect costs.
As a PAC Builder, AGATHĒ collaborates with your designer, architect, or engineer early in the process to ensure your vision is both beautiful and feasible. While designers and architects excel at creativity, they aren’t trained to align designs with construction budgets – that’s where we come in. Our expertise ensures your dream home is designed with buildability and budget certainty from day one, avoiding costly surprises later.
HOW AGATHĒ’S PRE-CONSTRUCTION PROCESS WORKS
Our pre-construction process is informed by the PAC Process, designed to provide clarity, transparency, and confidence as you embark on your building journey. Here’s how it works:
-
Initial Consultation
We’ll meet with you to understand your vision, explore ideas, and outline your goals for the project.
-
Budgeting & Feasibility
Using our experience of past projects, and our current industry insights, we’ll develop a realistic budget, ensuring your design is feasible from the outset.
-
Collaborative Design Development
We work alongside your designer, architect, and/or engineer to refine the plans, ensuring every detail is achievable and cost-effective.
-
Comprehensive Proposal
Once the plans are finalised, we’ll prepare a formal proposal with a fixed price quote, allowances for flexibility, specifications, and clear timelines.
-
Project Planning & Scheduling
With your approval, we’ll secure your construction slot and finalise all preparations for a seamless and yes – enjoyable – construction project.
