Residential Construction: Design, Site Coordination and Handover Scope

Residential construction requires coordination between design decisions and the different trades on site. For turnkey work, the included works, materials and handover conditions are clearly defined at the start of the project.

Design and construction responsibilities

Koloni Architecture places importance on coordination between design and construction in residential projects. The design, site management and construction services to be undertaken are defined, clarifying the responsibilities of the client, designers and contractors.

Coordinating work on site

The structural works, mechanical and electrical systems, and architectural finishes are considered together within the design and work programme. Recording material and detail decisions, as well as changes arising on site, helps maintain the connection between design and construction.

Budget, programme and handover

Work items, material selections, the budget and the schedule are defined alongside the agreed scope. The cost and timing implications of requested changes are assessed separately. Handover checks and the tracking of outstanding items also form part of this scope.

Clarifying scope at the first meeting

Share existing designs, site or building information, the approval stage, target budget and intended use. The proposal specifies which design, new building construction or interior fit-out services are included, alongside the handover conditions.
