For some Friday knowledge, we asked Prieur du Plessis, our Estimating Guru, about some of the questions clients commonly have when starting a construction project, including a few they may feel a little hesitant to ask.
Here are some of the most common ones:

Every project is different, so the timeline depends on the size and scope of the work, planning requirements, materials and availability. Once we understand exactly what your project involves, we can give you a realistic programme and discuss when we can get started.

Yes! There are often different material and finish options available at different price points. The materials selected have a direct impact on the overall cost of a project, so we can discuss alternatives where appropriate and help you understand the difference between the options.

Absolutely. Construction doesn't end when the last job is done. As a full-service construction company, we take responsibility for leaving the site in immaculate condition when the work is complete.

You shouldn't have to wonder who is working on your property. Our workforce wears recognised, standardised Sebedisan uniforms, and our workers have name tags so they can be easily identified.

There really are no silly questions when it comes to your investment.
If you're wondering about something, chances are someone else has wondered the same thing.
What construction question have you always wanted to ask? Weโd love to hear them ๐
