‍Detailed Planning: Now, the concept drawings are made into working drawings. This is the last step before construction starts, so if any changes need to be made, now is your chance to bring them up. In this step, you will also be provided with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.
‍‍Construction: See your vision come into life! Your Waikato Renovation Consultant will oversee and manage every part of the build, so you can relax. They will work to ensure your project stays on track aiming for completion within the specified timeframe and budget.
