The Process

All Gilkes Building Solutions projects (both big or small) are based on the following best practice methodology:

Phase 1: Preliminary Consultation

At Gilkes Building Solutions, we prioritize a collaborative approach to understand your family's needs for your new home or renovation. Beginning with an initial phone call, we schedule a site visit to delve deeper into your project's specifics and capture essential details through photography.

Phase 2: Detailed Design

From there, we meticulously explore every available option, emphasizing environmental sustainability and cost efficiency. Our architectural draftsman then crafts a preliminary draft design and initial cost estimate, which we present to you for discussion and refinement based on your site, budget, and unique circumstances.

Once we agree on a proposed solution, our team works closely with you and our experienced draftsman to develop a detailed architectural design. Incorporating best practice solar passive design principles, we maximize the property's heating and cooling properties while enhancing street appeal and optimizing natural views.

Phase 3: Pre-Construction

During the Pre-Construction phase, we provide a comprehensive build estimate accounting for all council requirements, including engineering, design compliance, energy certification, BAL assessment, and detailed cost analysis. This estimate, based on the final agreed layout, considers your specific preferences, material procurement, and established schedule.

Phase 4: Construction

Throughout the construction phase, our dedicated team of experienced, reliable, and qualified tradesmen adhere to the highest Australian standards. We ensure quality finishes that your family will enjoy for years to come, while keeping you well-informed of progress and collaborating closely on selections like surfaces, finishes, and colors.

Phase 5: Post-Construction

Upon completion of every project, we conduct a final walkthrough and handover with our clients, ensuring complete satisfaction and laying the foundation for future collaborations. At Gilkes Building Solutions, our commitment is not just to the current project, but to fostering a lasting relationship built on trust, quality, and excellence.
