Carport

So you have decided you need to add a carport or garage to your home.  This can often be a necessity but it can also add a visual improvement to the front of your property, not to mention adding value.  Whether you live in a worker’s cottage in Victoria Park, or a period-style home in Nedlands, or anywhere in the Perth metropolitan area, we take on board your carport or garage requirements and come up with a workable solution to suit your home.

NEDLANDS CARPORT ADDITION

Our Process

Initial Contact
  • After your initial contact to Farrar Constructions, we will arrange a time to meet at your home to discuss your proposed carport or garage. This is our first consultation and is free of charge.
  • Prior to our first meeting it is suggested you give some thought to what you want your carport or garage to include, for example the size to fit what vehicles, whether you want storage on the side, whether crossovers need to be altered, etc.
  • At this point we can give you an idea of approximate building cost of your carport or garage. This is not a quote, just an estimate of building costs.
Design
  • Once we move to the design phase, a fee is chargeable for site survey, design consultation and preliminary drawings.
  • We then arrange a meeting with you, and one of the preferred designers that we work with, to discuss the form and functionality of your proposed new carport or garage. This will then form the basis of your preliminary drawings.
  • After a carport or garage plan is agreed upon, a fixed price quote is prepared for your approval, including a scope of works and specification.
Approvals
  • After agreeing on a fixed price, a lump sum contract is prepared and signed, together with final working drawings, engineer’s drawings and site survey.
  • A deposit is paid after signing the contract documentation.
  • Plans are submitted to local council for approval.
  • Council fees are paid.
  • Home indemnity insurance policy is taken out for client protection.
Construction
  • A pre-commencement meeting is held where we go through the construction stages of your job 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.
  • Building a carport or garage on your property can be a disruptive experience. We endeavour to minimise the intrusion by making the construction process streamlined and completed quickly.
  • We only engage trades that are specialists in the area of home improvements 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 local council regulations that may be applicable.
Completion
  • Upon completion of your carport or garage we will have a hand over meeting to check that everything is to your satisfaction.
  • All our work is structurally guaranteed for 7 years, an industry standard, and we provide a 6 month maintenance period from practical completion date.
