Types of services that a consultant provides

Project management

A consultant will use computer software to track project budgets, progress and oversee project designs. They check the project doesn’t go over the proposed budget and timeframe and ensure everyone is on the same page.

Personal recommendations and advice

A consultant will help explain the technical aspects of the project and use their years of experience to advise, provide recommendations, and their reasoning behind a decision.  

Resolving differences

Consultants can also help resolve minor differences between you and other contractors if they arise. They will be able to give an unbiased opinion based on the data collected and can even help negotiate contracts or deliver messages on your behalf.

The advantages of hiring skilled consultants

Hiring a skilled building consultant is needed if you’re looking for a professional edge to any building project. It means your project will be managed by an experienced and trained professional that is comfortable dealing with negotiations and disputes, overseeing planning for your resources and workforce, and helping with project site control. Skilled consultants can also mediate and sort out the contracts or reports needed from building surveyors and inspectors to complete the risk assessment process.

How to choose the best consultants for your project

There are several crucial factors to keep in mind when choosing the right building and construction consultant for your next project. These include company accreditations, personal qualifications, and insurance. In Australia the consultant should have professional indemnity insurance as a minimum, and public liability insurance if needed. Lastly, you should always ask around for different quotes before locking down a consultant to make sure that you’re getting the best value for money. Here are some additional questions to ask:

• Do you have experience delivering projects similar to mine in scope and size in Australia?
• What is your preferred communication style, and how would you go about mediating a potential dispute?
• Can I have a look at your personal portfolio?
• What is the estimated cost for the project?
• How familiar are you with different types of building projects?
