At Pulse Property Solutions, we understand that managing a construction project can be a complex and daunting task for clients. We take pride in being the go-to partner for clients who have already acquired sites and now seek expert assistance in efficiently managing their built form projects. Our tailored project management services are precisely curated to support clients throughout their development journey, from the preliminary concept stage to the successful completion of construction. With a wealth of experience and a dedicated team of professionals, we fully comprehend the unique challenges that arise when developing an existing site. At Pulse, our mission is to streamline this process, providing comprehensive solutions that align seamlessly with our client’s visions and goals. Our process is thoughtfully designed to transform ideas into concrete realities.
Stage 1: Preliminary Concept Review
Our journey commences with a thorough review, where collaboration with the client takes center stage, allowing us to grasp the vision, goals, and unique project requirements. This pivotal stage encompasses:
Reviewing the supplied feature and contour survey to understand the site's characteristics.
Conducting a comprehensive site inspection for contextual insights.
Facilitating an initial briefing session with the building designer for seamless idea flow.
Creating simple concept layouts, aiding informed decision-making.
Proactively consulting local authorities to ensure regulatory compliance.
Presenting concepts to our client for valuable feedback.
Stage 2: Design Development
In Stage 2, we focus on translating the preliminary concepts into detailed and well-defined designs. This stage involves meticulous planning and collaboration to create a strong foundation for the construction phase. The key components of this stage include:
Preparing a design brief by performing client consultation to capture project requirements and aspirations.
Preparing Development Application Ready Designs by engaging relevant authorities and consultants for compliance.
Analysing the site together with the conceptual floor plans and elevations to develop a client-involved concept finalization.
Preparing drawings and paperwork for local authority development application submission.
Obtaining Development Approval by communicating with and attending meetings required by the local authority.
Efficiently managing all consultants and SDA-related matters.
Stage 3: DA Approval
In Stage 3, we take charge of securing Development Approval (DA) by efficiently lodging the application. Both Pulse and the Building Designer actively respond to any client or council queries, and we readily attend meetings with the council as needed. Our dedicated approach ensures a smooth approval process, paving the way for a seamless transition to the construction phase.
Stage 4: Working Documentation and Construction
As we proceed into Stage 4, we enter a pivotal phase that brings us closer to turning visions into reality. Working Documentation and Construction entail meticulous planning, coordination, and execution to ensure the project's success. The steps involved in this stage include:
Refining the design with the Building Designer, maintaining design integrity, and incorporating construction requirements.
Preparing Preliminary Working Drawings, including site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, roof plans, and electrical plans, for documentation completion.
Coordinating and integrating consultant designs into the working documentation.
Collaborating with the builder and client to finalise working drawings, ensuring room layouts and specifications meet project needs.
Overseeing the certification and compliance process.
Managing the various external consultants and documentation required.
Reviewing and providing input into the specification and finishes.
Overseeing the tender process for construction and assisting with construction contract negotiations.
Performing due diligence checks on the builder and providing the client with a copy of the builder's insurance.
Coordinating the build certification process.
Preparing interior and exterior finishes, considering market and client preferences.
Assist with establishing new services as required.
Liaising with the consultant team to address queries raised during construction.
Conducting site inspections during construction.
Providing regular monthly progress reports to keep clients informed and ensure a transparent construction process.
