Construction is defined as the process of building a home or a structure. The two types of construction are commercial and residential construction. The difference between commercial and residential is that Commercial construction services involve the construction of office buildings, industrial structures or factory, institutional buildings and others; mainly constructing a building for commercial purposes. While residential construction Brisbane services comprise construction of a house for dwelling purpose. It also includes residential suites or apartments, cottages, and the likes.
Residential construction Brisbane is the industry of building and selling single and multi-family houses. The market fragments into single-unit, fabricated, duplex, quadplex, apartments and condominiums. The manufactured housing further splits into mobile homes and pre-constructed houses. This industry varies mainly in the size and scale of the procedures. In lay man’s term, a builder acquires a piece of land, develops the land by clearing and evaluating it, and building roads, sidewalks, seepage, garbage disposal, electrical and water supplies. At that point, the builder offers to build either custom homes or pre-outlined homes, or pre-mobile homes, subject on the market he is trying to serve. In certain occasion, the builder may build one or more homes on speculation or "spec", which means that he builds the home even without a prospected buyer on the expectation that once the house is finished, a buyer will show up.
May it be minor or a major home renovation project; a contractor handles everything on the job site. The contractor enters into a contract with the owner to finish the project and takes full accountability to get the job done for the bid price. Generally, he purchases the materials, employs the tradespeople, and brings in subcontractors to complete the work. The subcontractors are responsible to the contractor, and not to the owner. Some of the duties and responsibilities of the contractor are: estimating and bidding the project, determining a payment schedule based on work progress, discussing the contract with the owner, spending money to substitutes and material suppliers, hiring and negotiating contracts with subcontractors, interpreting the proposals and provisions, acquiring the needed permits and planning inspections, negotiating material prices and ordering the materials, creating a schedule for workers, subs, and deliveries, supervising and directing the work of employees and subs, and troubleshooting job-site related problems.
Make sure that the contractor being hired is licensed to work in the area and he is insured. Possessing a license and insurance validates a contractor's credibility and knowledge. If a contractor does not have insurance and a worker gets injured during the project, the homeowner could be liable. The same thing if an accident may occur that could damage the next-door neighbor's home. Looking at the contractor’s previous work samples can give an idea for the project and lets the owner see the variety of work the company has performed such as contemporary, Craftsman, or historic designs.
