Get it wrong and it costs you ## Common Issues in New Build Houses Projects Professional management is required to avoid typical construction pitfalls. ### Inaccurate Financial Planning A clear scope helps with budgeting. Our quantity surveyor prepares a cost plan to support the quotation and payment schedule. Unexpected conditions or changes to the work can affect costs, so these need to be discussed as the project develops. ### Fragmented Trade Management Trade coordination helps reduce avoidable delays. Our team schedule the work with our in-house team and partner trades. Electrical and gas work is carried out by appropriately registered partner trades, such as NICEIC/NAPIT electricians and Gas Safe engineers, not certified by Swift Build itself. ### Non-Compliance with Building Regulations The building control requirements depend on the proposed work. We manage the required inspections and sign-off as part of the build, with the relevant design information and partner trades involved where needed. ### Poor Site Management and Dust Control Building work can be disruptive. Discuss access, working areas and the practical effects on your household or business at the free site visit so these can be considered in the programme of works. ### Rescuing Unfinished or Failed Projects We take over and fix projects left by other builders.

We discuss the specification as part of the cost plan rather than assuming particular products or systems are included. Our team coordinate the team and partner trades around the agreed drawings and specification. Questions about the work can be raised with him throughout the build. ### Construction Methods and Structural Engineering Structural requirements depend on the proposed work and site conditions. Any necessary specialist design or assessment should be established before the relevant work is agreed and carried out. Construction details should follow the project design and applicable building regulations. We manage the required building control inspections rather than promising a particular technical system as standard. ### Architectural Integration and Design A proposed new house needs its own design brief rather than an extension layout. Partner architects and designers can help with plans, or we can review your own drawings to discuss a possible scope and quotation. The finishes and any carpentry should be defined in the agreed scope. Our in-house carpenter works alongside partner trades, including plasterers where required, under our team's coordination. ### Residential vs Commercial Requirements Swift Build undertakes domestic and commercial building work. For a proposed new house, contact one of the team to discuss the site, drawings and scope before assuming a complete build service is available. The budget, approvals and intended use need to be established for the specific proposal. Our general project starting point of £5,000 is not an indicative cost for a complete new house.
