Our Christchurch team works with you and an architect to design a realistic new build or renovation plan before design decisions are locked in— a plan that adds genuine value and fits the budget you’ve set, before you commit to anything.
Know exactly what it’ll look like, and cost – before you commit.
How will a Pre-Construction Service will benefit me?
Most building projects follow the same broken sequence: you brief an architect or designer, wait months for drawings, get building consent, and only then does a builder see the plans — usually for the first time, with zero knowledge of your site’s quirks, soil conditions, or how the existing structure actually sits on the land. By the time cost problems surface, the design is locked in and changing it means paying twice.
Our Pre-Construction Design service exists to close that gap. We’re on site with you and your architect from the very first conversation — not called in once consent’s already granted. That means the person pricing and building your project has actually walked the site, understands its slope, soil, drainage, and access constraints, and can flag what’s realistic before a single line is drawn.
The result: a design that’s genuinely buildable, a budget that holds because it was built around real site knowledge — not assumptions, and a build that runs smoother because your builder isn’t discovering surprises for the first time on day one of construction. You get certainty earlier, fewer costly redesigns, and a team who understood your site before they ever picked up a hammer.
BBG Built has a strong understanding of ‘on the ground’ construction costs. We can look at concept plans and tell quickly, if the drawings match the clients brief and most importantly, their budget.
Same steps, one difference: your builder is in the room from day one, not called in after the budget’s already blown.
