Bathroom
So you have decided your tired old bathroom needs a makeover. Or perhaps you’d like to add another bathroom. Whether you live in a worker’s cottage in Victoria Park, a period-style home in Nedlands, or anywhere in the Perth metropolitan area, we listen very closely to what your needs and lifestyle preferences are. We understand that every client has a different outlook on what’s important in a bathroom and how it should function. We listen to your individual needs and come up with a design and layout that will meet your expectations.
Our Process
Initial Contact
- After your initial contact to Farrar Constructions, we will arrange a time to meet at your home to discuss your bathroom requirements. This is our first consultation and is free of charge.
- Prior to our first meeting, it’s best you have thought about what you want in a bathroom and how you would like it to function. Or if you aren’t sure, we can help you come up with a solution to suit your home.
- At this point we can give you an idea of approximate cost. This is not a quote, just an estimate of building costs.
Design
- We look at the space you have available and come up with a design to suit your brief. Often this may mean moving plumbing, electrical connections and sometimes windows to achieve the best layout.
- Finish selections such as tiles, tapware, fixtures, fittings, cabinetry need to be finalised. This can be a stressful time for some clients but with our helpful advice and extensive knowledge of products available, we can guide you in the right direction. After a plan is agreed upon, and finish selections are chosen, a fixed price quote is prepared for your approval, including a scope of works and specification.
Approvals
- After agreeing on a price, the contract is prepared and signed, together with final working drawings.
- A deposit is paid after signing the contract documentation.
- Water Corporation fees are paid if applicable.
- Home indemnity insurance policy is taken out for client protection if the bathroom renovation exceeds $20,000.
Construction
- Occasionally a temporary bathroom facility will need to be provided. This can be arranged if necessary.
- A pre-commencement meeting is held where we go through the construction stages of your bathroom and finalise details.
- Construction time! By this stage you are well aware of the order in which things will be taking place and we pride ourselves on client communication, so rest assured you will always be informed on what is happening on a regular basis.
- Having your bathroom renovated can be an intrusive experience. We endeavour to minimise the intrusion by sealing off the work-zone sections of your home so you have safety and security.
- We only engage trades that are specialists in the area of bathroom renovation and who are highly skilled in their profession. We insist our trades follow a clean and safe site policy, follow OH&S guidelines, and comply with industry regulations.
Completion
- Upon completion of your project we will have a hand over meeting to check that everything is to your satisfaction. You can then enjoy your new bathroom.
