Commercial - Apartment/Duplex
8 Great Homes has extensive experience with designing and building commercial apartments and duplexes. We collaborate with our subcontractors to offer you a single construction contract.

This offers our clients many benefits:

• Cost Savings and Certainty: To assure costs are properly monitored and controlled we thoroughly plan your budget and costs information, regularly track and provide back costing and negotiate with our trusted network of subcontractors and suppliers to get you the best price possible.
• Construct-ability and Accountability: We apply our extensive construction knowledge and experience while working with you every step of the way, to ensure the projects design, quality, and functionality are maximised. At the same time, we also keep a close eye on health and safety and environmental management.
• Time-Saving: This is achieved in the planning stage where we establish clear designs and construction processes before we start. A well-organised schedule results in the seamless connection between each stage of the project.

Project Management
You don’t have to spend time shuffling between your emails, files, spreadsheets and other tools to keep your project on course. With 8 Great Homes, we help you track and manage everything from day one to the deadline.

• An end-to-end project management service allows your journey with us to be worry-free. We do the leg work for you and take care of everything from dealing with the council, engineers, architects, and all the paperwork in between. From start to finish, you only need to deal with us.
• To ensure the project runs efficiently and smoothly the schedule and budget is well planned and organised before we start. This allows us to get projects off the ground faster and meet deadlines. A well-organised schedule significantly reduces downtime and ensures the project can be completed on time and on budget.
• Good communication is key on any journey. We value our relationships with clients and therefore provide regular updates and reports, organise meetings, and track progress. This is all done to keep you well informed and so you find the building process comfortable and exciting.
