What is Build Direct?
BulidDirect was established to provide management solution to customers wishing to benefit from cost savings and other advantages of building with diret labour and material purchase.
The aim is to turn quality final product while also saving time and money by engaging only the highest standard of tradesmen and carefully monitoring and controlling all aspects of the project.
What are the benefits?
- Significant cost savings
Through our links with key local suppliers and tradesmen we are able to obtain incredibly competitive rates and savings which are passed on directly to the client. Also through close control of the project as well as checking of all invoices for errors we are able to minimise risk of overspend and loss.
- Hassle free
All tenders and contracts are organised and arranged by ourselves with the overall decision being made by the client based on the information received. All general works, sub-contractor works, deliveries and deadlines are monitored by ourselves and advised upon to the client.
- Quality and Speed
By engaging only subcontractors witha a proven track record of high quality results and by carefully planning and closely supervising all site works as they progress, a quality product can be ensured every time and on time.
- Flexibility
We understand changes may occur as the build develops and we will endeavour to facilitate this at only direct cost to the client. This means no timely re-negotiation and no inflated charges.
- Risk
With the BuildDirect approach there is no up front sum. Works are paid for when and only when they are completed on site. This means there is no initial capital risk to the client.
- Safety
We insure all our projects comply with industry safety standards including, ensuring all insurances are in place before commencement and employing a safety officer to further reduce risk and insurance costs.
