Home Building Project Management

Aspect has a unique and total service, which sensitively blends individual design relevant to today's lifestyles with practical construction expertise.

Through our close relationship with our preferred Builders and by coordinating all the vital links in the chain of constructing an individual home, we are able to produce a superior result and save you time and money by eliminating excessive detailing, misunderstandings which normally occur in inter office communication, and any contingency sums which are normally included to cover the "unknowns" of Tender documents.

Project Management costs

The cost for the Project Management service is normally 3% of the project cost but we are happy to carry out this service as described below at a fixed fee to be negotiated after the brief is discussed. The service can be limited to Council applications and Tendering process to ensure that your quotes are comparable in inclusions and detail. This initial stage is 1% of the project cost as a guide and is part of the 3% stated above.
