THE DAVISON GROUP

How We Work

A Transparent Approach To Delivering Exceptional Residential Projects

Every successful project is built on clear communication, careful planning and complete transparency.

At Davison Group, we understand that undertaking a significant renovation, extension or home transformation can feel daunting. That’s why we place as much emphasis on the client experience as we do on the construction itself.

From our first conversation through to project completion, we provide expert guidance, proactive project management and complete visibility over how your project is delivered.

  • Clear Communication Throughout
  • Transparent Project Management
  • Fixed Price & Cost Plus Options Available
  • 15+ Years Of Residential Construction Experience

Our Approach

The foundation of every successful project is trust.

We believe homeowners should have a clear understanding of how their project will be managed, how costs are controlled and what to expect throughout the construction journey.

Every project begins with detailed planning and open discussions around scope, budget, timelines and expectations. This allows us to recommend the most appropriate delivery model for your project and circumstances.

Whether working under a Fixed Price Contract or a Cost Plus Agreement, our goal remains the same: to deliver exceptional workmanship, clear communication and outstanding results.

Our Typical Project Journey

1. Initial Consultation

We begin by understanding your property, your aspirations and the outcomes you want to achieve.

2. Design & Planning

Working alongside architects, designers and consultants where required, we help develop a clear scope of works and project strategy.

3. Budget & Procurement Planning

We establish realistic project budgets, identify key selections and plan procurement requirements before construction begins.

4. Construction & Project Management

Our experienced team coordinates every stage of the build, ensuring quality standards, timelines and communication remain consistent throughout.

5. Completion & Handover

Every project undergoes rigorous quality checks before handover, ensuring the finished result meets both our standards and your expectations.

Fixed Price Contracts

Certainty From The Outset

A Fixed Price Contract provides homeowners with a clearly defined scope of works and an agreed contract sum before construction begins.

This approach is often preferred by clients who value budget certainty and have a well-developed design package before work commences.

Benefits Of Fixed Price Contracts

  • Clear upfront project cost
  • Greater budget certainty
  • Easier financial planning
  • Reduced exposure to cost fluctuations
  • Clearly defined scope and deliverables

 

Things To Consider

  • Design decisions should ideally be finalised before work begins.
  • Changes requested during construction may result in additional costs.
  • Less flexibility once the contract has been agreed.

 

A Fixed Price Contract can work particularly well for projects with detailed architectural drawings, completed specifications and clearly defined requirements.

Cost Plus Contracts

Flexibility & Transparency

Under a Cost Plus Agreement, the client pays the actual cost of labour, materials and subcontractors, together with an agreed management fee.

This model is increasingly popular for larger, more complex residential projects where flexibility and collaboration are important.

Benefits Of Cost Plus Contracts

  • Complete transparency of project costs
  • Greater flexibility during construction
  • Easier incorporation of design changes
  • Ability to make informed decisions as the project evolves
  • Often preferred for bespoke and architect-led projects

 

Things To Consider

  • Final costs may vary depending on selections and project development.
  • Requires ongoing collaboration and decision-making.
  • Budget management remains important throughout the project.

 

For many large-scale renovations and bespoke residential projects, Cost Plus provides the flexibility needed to achieve the best possible outcome without compromising quality.

Which Option Is Right For You?

Every project is different.

The most appropriate contract structure depends on the complexity of the project, the level of design development, budget priorities and the amount of flexibility required during construction.

During our initial consultations, we take the time to understand your objectives before recommending the most suitable approach.

Our role is not to steer clients towards one model over another, but to ensure they fully understand the advantages and considerations of each option so they can make an informed decision.
