FAQs

What is the expected construction duration on a new build or renovation? 

While there are many variables to consider which impact expected construction duration, with each project we give 100% in our efforts. We use our skill set and communication skills to streamline, and navigate potential challenges, from approval process to finished product. Ensuring we do our very best to deliver our work within the projected time frame. Once project plans are finalised, and product selections made, CDK will be able to provide an estimated timeline and continue to communicate how your project is tracking, so that you can feel confident your project will be delivered within the expected timeframe.

I have a budget in mind, can you work with this?

Communication around your budget from initial discussion is very beneficial. With this information, and preliminary plans drawn, we can quickly assess whether or not your budget will fit the design based on a systematic review aimed to provide an accurate budget estimate. Preventing loss of time in waiting for quotes that are well above budget, and then back to the design board to make it work. We are clear in communicating estimates and ensuring you are getting the best quality and value.
