Our Construction Consulting Services

Project Feasibility

Any type of construction project, be it building or renovating, demands significant financial investment. Dennis wants to ensure you do not spend your money on a bad project. He will assess the viability of your project by considering factors like land value, location, and market conditions. Do these factors align with your expectations from the project? As your building consultant in NSW, Dennis helps you determine whether your project is worth pursuing and how best to approach it.

Budgeting

Accurate budgeting is essential to the success of any construction project. The money you’re willing to spend will determine other important decisions like the contractors you hire or the raw material you use. Dennis will assist you in creating a realistic budget, considering all potential costs, from materials and labour to permits and contingencies.

Regulatory Compliance and Permits

Building regulations in NSW state that you need a local council permit for any form of building or renovating project you undertake. With over three decades of building experience, Dennis is well-versed in the local and national regulatory landscape. He will guide you in your research, helping you find the required information. Compliance knowledge is essential to ensure your project follows the local building codes.

Differences Between Residential and Commercial Construction Consulting

At Argus Advisory Service, Dennis provides construction consulting services for both residential and commercial construction projects. While the commitment to help and educate our clients remains the same, there are some key differences in the approach, scale, and compliance needs for each type of project. 

  • Approach

Residential projects typically focus on creating a comfortable and functional living space, while commercial projects prioritise efficiency, durability, and compliance with commercial codes.

  • Scale

Commercial projects are usually larger in scope and require more complex planning and coordination, including managing multiple stakeholders and ensuring adherence to stringent safety regulations.

  • Compliance

Residential projects must comply with local building codes, but commercial projects often have additional layers of compliance, such as fire safety regulations, accessibility standards, and zoning laws.

How Our Consultants Ensure Project Success

A successful construction project is one that is completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with all relevant regulations. At Argus Advisory Service, we provide you with the education and information you need to achieve these goals.

As a consultant in NSW, Dennis mentors you through the process of planning your project. What permissions do you need before starting the build? How to find a reliable builder for the work? Are they certified for the job? These are common questions to have. Dennis guides you in the research process, empowering you to find the right information. 

With knowledge in your hands, you can make informed decisions about your project. This gives you the confidence to handle your project independently.
