Our Process

step 1

Initial Contact & Inquiry

Initial client contact and inquiry. This is when a potential client reaches out through a website, phone call, email, or referral. The goal at this stage is to understand the client’s needs and determine whether the project is viable. The business gathers key details such as the type of project, location, budget, and desired timeline. This information is often recorded in a customer management system to keep track of leads and follow-ups.

step 2

Site Visit & Preliminary Assessment

Next comes the site visit and preliminary assessment. A representative meets with the client on-site to inspect conditions, take measurements, and discuss ideas or specific requirements. This step helps identify any potential challenges, such as access restrictions or compliance issues, and refines the overall project scope. After the visit, notes and observations are compiled into a site report to guide the next stage.

step 3

Estimation & Proposal

The following stage is estimation and proposal preparation. The business develops a detailed cost estimate that includes materials, labour, equipment, and permit expenses. A formal proposal is then presented to the client, outlining the project scope, estimated timeline, payment terms, and other key details. Sometimes, a preliminary design concept is included to help the client visualise the result.

step 4

Contract & Approval Stage

Once the proposal is approved, the process moves to the contract and approval stage. The client and company sign a formal construction contract, and necessary permits, approvals, and insurance are arranged. The start date is scheduled, and resources such as materials and labour are allocated in preparation for construction.

step 5

Construction Phase

The construction phase is where work on-site begins. This includes setting up safety measures, preparing the site, and progressing through stages such as foundations, framing, roofing, and finishes. The project manager oversees the work to ensure it meets quality standards and stays on schedule. Clients are kept informed through regular updates, and any changes or variations are managed formally to maintain transparency.

step 6

Handover And Post-Completion

Finally, the handover and post-completion phase marks the conclusion of the project. The client and builder conduct a final walkthrough, and the builder provides a handover pack containing warranties, manuals, certificates, and maintenance information. The client signs off on the project, and final payment is made. Many companies follow up after completion to check on client satisfaction and address any post-handover concerns.

Changing the industry one project at a time...

Our vision

Dobbins Construction was born from the desire to change our industry for the better. Because we believe that commissioning a construction project doesn’t have to mean frustration, conflict, delays and unexpected costs (that could have been prevented with better planning or foresight). Not by a long shot.

We set out to do things differently to change our industry for the better, bringing advanced project management and planning skills to the table to combine with architecture, design, engineering and construction experience.

We also saw a gap in the market, to provide a high-quality, T2-level service to T3 projects, with a size range of $2M – $10M, while maintaining a tailored and personalised approach with a focus on the individual client and project. 

We’re proud to say that we have achieved all of these goals — and the proof is the work that we deliver, the foresight and planning that go into each project, and the resulting high-quality outcomes.
