Specifications
Before any major project can be accurately priced DK Building will work with you to identify and specify every task that will be carried out in each room.
Close cooperation at this stage ensures our clients are completely satisfied and confident that the project will be finished in line with their expectations. DK Building always endeavours to create the building the client is imagining. It is at this stage, that our designer can make suggestions and offer advice if necessary. There are a lot of decisions to be made and it can be very confusing.
Planning and specification services
Clients should be aware that depending on the project, extra charges for planning applications, plans for planning approval, building control inspections, structural engineering reports and utilities may be incurred by external bodies and these are outside our control.
Contract & Payments
Before building commences DK Building signs a contract with the client and stage payments will be agreed.
