1.      Clearer cost direction

Early conversations help shape realistic budgets before designs and scope are finalised. This avoids unnecessary rework later on.

• Westella Funerals: Early pricing helped guide the design and prevented scope changes during delivery.
• TOMRA: Early scoping across multiple sites created consistency and supported efficient  material planning.

2.      Faster and more structured mobilisation

When timelines, materials and sequencing are discussed early, mobilisation runs smoother. Key trades can be booked ahead of time and long-lead items can be managed properly

• Arthur Street Childcare: Early coordination around compliance and lead times helped keep the program on track from the start.

With tighter supplier windows across 2026, this approach is becoming essential.

3.      Better design & project start up

Getting onsite input during early design discussions helps identify practical issues early. This reduces late changes and improves how the project flows once construction begins.

• Strahan & Zeehan Sports Centres: Early design reviews helped plan staging around community use and prevented late design adjustments.

4.      Less impact on operating businesses

For fit outs and refurbishments in live environments, early engagement provides time to plan the safest and least disruptive way to complete works.

This often includes:

• Staging
• Night works
• Temporary access routes
• Clear separation between work zones and business activity

At Strahan Village early planning allowed works to be scheduled around accommodation turnover and peak trading times, helping the site stay operational while upgrades took place.

5.      More predictable timelines

Early planning gives more control over programming, particularly for seasonal or high-traffic industries.

• Springfield Deer Farm Abattoir & Accomodation: Early scheduling allowed the build to work around agricultural activity, compliance requirements and weather windows.

This approach reduces stop-start delays and provides more certainty for everyone involved.
