Construction Phase
Our goal is to deliver a seamless and rewarding building experience, grounded in clear communication, meticulous planning, and craftsmanship that goes above and beyond. Throughout the construction phase, we maintain transparency and keep you informed at every stage to make the process smooth and stress-free. We begin with a pre-construction meeting to confirm project details, timelines, and any specific requirements, ensuring everyone is aligned and ready to proceed. Once the site is prepared and permits are secured, construction begins with a focus on maintaining a safe and organized workspace. Throughout the build, we conduct regular progress updates and milestone reviews, giving you insight into key stages and a chance to address any questions. Each phase of construction is met with rigorous quality checks to uphold our high standards of craftsmanship and to stay true to your vision. As we near completion, we perform a final walkthrough and inspection to ensure everything meets or exceeds your expectations.

At Innovative Building Services, our dedication doesn’t stop when construction ends. We offer a comprehensive range of warranties and services to ensure your home continues to perform beautifully and meets your evolving needs.

Additionally, we provide optional Home services which include routine inspections, customizable maintenance packages, Discounted Home services, and emergency repair services to keep your home in top condition.

Why you should consider acting now
Over the past nine years, residential construction inflation has averaged 5.0% annually. However, in 2021, inflation surged to 14%, followed by a record-high 15.7% in 2022. While the rate steadied at around 4.5% in 2023-2024, projections for 2025 show an increase back to 5%. What this means for you is delaying your project will result in a minimum 4.5%–5% cost increase if you wait until next year. By starting now, you can secure today’s pricing and avoid the impact of rising construction costs.
