Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how Locspec’s consultancy services save time, reduce costs, and set your project up for success—before the build begins

Why should I have to pay for pre-construction services?

Pre-construction is the most critical stage of any building project, as it provides the opportunity to identify and address potential issues before committing to construction.

Locspec’s pre-construction services go beyond providing a quote – we spend time with you, your designer, essential professionals, such as engineers, to ensure your project vision is completely understood. This structured approach minimises unexpected expenses and on-site changes—leading to a more confident, streamlined build where every detail is carefully considered for a satisfying and affordable outcome.

This structured approach minimises unexpected expenses and on-site changes—leading to a more confident, streamlined build where every detail is carefully considered for a satisfying and affordable outcome.

At Locspec, our services are tailored to support you through every stage of your project journey. Depending on where you’re at, we can assist with:

  • Feasibility assessments to determine whether your ideas are practical and achievable for your site and budget
  • Site surveys and coordination of engineering reports, soil testing, and geotechnical investigations
  • Collaborating closely with your designer or architect to help shape your vision—starting from initial concept sketches through to detailed construction-ready plans
  • Providing cost analysis and itemised proposals, including provisional allowances, trade input, and realistic market rates to ensure your project is financially informed before moving forward

 

Our goal is to bring clarity to the process early on, helping you make well-informed decisions that align with your goals and investment.

Even with approved plans, Locspec adds value by refining costs and clarifying your project’s exact needs before committing to a construction contract. Many builders rely on standard industry averages for quoting, which can overlook finer details. Locspec, however, reviews your selected materials and finishes, meets on-site with your design team, and ensures a thorough understanding of the project’s scope. This approach can uncover any hidden or additional preconstruction costs, preventing unpleasant surprises down the track. Ultimately, you benefit from a more accurate, transparent, and cost-effective quote tailored to your specific project.

A typical builder’s quote is based on finalised plans, which can cost thousands to produce and approve. By contrast, the Locspec Consultancy Service provides realistic budget guidelines early in the process using provisional designs, site visits, and decades of industry experience. This approach allows you to refine your design, helping prevent cost overruns, before committing to a design you can’t afford.

While most of our clients choose to build high-performance homes, Locspec can still build homes that don’t fall under that category. Even in these instances, we consistently build to exceed industry standards. Whether you’re after a high-performance build or something more conventional, our focus remains on quality, longevity, and craftsmanship.
