HOW WE WORK

More than just a builder

Whatever stage you’re at in your build, DM Builds can step in and make your project a reality.

As well as construction, we offer pre-construction services and end-to-end solutions to ensure you can avoid the over whelm and get your build right from start to finish.

1

Project Evaluation

We can begin by conducting a comprehensive builder review. This considers your criteria, site suitability and cost appropriateness compared to your budget, so we are clear on what’s achievable from the beginning.

From here, we prepare an all-inclusive project brief for you, summarising your needs and objectives. Then it’s time for design planning, including appointment your design team.

Design Development

DM Builds can lead and coordinate your design team. We can also guide revisions and supply expert advice in the development of town planning documentation and construction working drawings. The permit process is also handled by our team, leaving you free to focus on your project's vision.

Cost Planning

Effective planning is vital for impressive outcomes. Our services include preparing a Bill of Quantities (volume of materials required for construction), conducting the tender process, assigning costs into cost centre breakdowns, providing you with a cost plan brief, and reviewing other builders' tenders. DM Builds offers feedback to help you make informed decisions when selecting a builder for your construction project.

Project Planning

Our pre-construction service extends to providing you with a comprehensive Ghant chart program and coordinating authority approvals and building regulatory approvals on your behalf. We also handle existing service abolishment and demolition permits if required by the project. Trust us to handle all the necessary coordination for a smooth pre-construction process.

Custom Construction Service

Here’s the part where you start to see it all come to life! The DM Builds custom construction service includes a professionally prepared project pricing brief, providing transparent cost breakdowns to aid client decision-making.

A professionally prepared construction schedule with defined milestones is provided, along with an efficient and professional site management team — plus, we maintain clear communication through weekly update letters every step of the way. Our trade services companies are reputable and reliable and we only use high-quality building materials and finishes to maximise every finish.

“I worked with Mitch and Dan on my home renovation and found them to be hardworking, communicative, and easy to deal with throughout the process. They always returned calls and attended to things promptly and we worked well to overcome issues faced along the way. We are enjoying our renovated home.”

Client

“Mitch and Dan of DM Builds were engaged to finish our highly distressed project (2 units). Our previous builder was terminated and DM Builds satisfactorily rectified the previous builder’s major defects in the build, were easy to communicate with and finished the project in a timely manner. Every time we needed clarification or assistance, they were there for us. We cannot recommend them enough!”
Peter & Lucy

Client

"Dan and Mitch, your exceptional service from planning, design to the finished product was amazing. Throughout the build you kept us up to date with the progress of the job when the contractors were coming on site and your exceptional working knowledge of the required regulations and problem-solving skills when required."

We found the guys knowledgeable and confident approach to all things design and compliance a refreshing approach to what is usually an arduous process. We would recommend DMBUILDs to anyone in the design phase of their construction journey.
