Our Process

A Clear Path from Concept to Completion

At TRJ & Sons, we believe a well-structured process ensures a seamless experience for our clients. From the initial consultation to the final handover, we prioritise transparency and communication. Our proven methodology keeps projects on time, within budget, and aligned with your vision.

Step 01
Initial Enquiry & Consultation

Every project begins with a conversation. Whether you contact us by phone, email, or through our website. During this stage we discuss:

  • Your ideas and project scope 
  • Budget and feasibility expectations 
  • Timeframes and project goals 
  • Whether you already have plans or require design assistance 
  • Site conditions and potential project challenges 

We then arrange an onsite consultation to better understand the property, provide practical advice, and discuss the best pathway forward for your project.

Step 02
Planning & Approvals

We understand that approvals, engineering, council requirements, and documentation can feel confusing and stressful for homeowners.

Hence at At TRJ & Sons, we work closely with homeowners, architects, designers, engineers, certifiers, and consultants to help coordinate the project and prepare it for construction. Our role is to simplify the process, communicate clearly, and help guide you through each stage with confidence.

By investing time into detailed planning upfront, we help reduce delays, minimise unexpected costs, and create a smoother construction process overall.

Already have plans prepared? Our team can review your documentation and provide practical construction feedback before you commit to building.

Step 03
Proposal & Cost Estimation

Once the project documentation is sufficiently developed, we prepare a detailed and transparent proposal tailored specifically to your project.

Our proposals clearly outline:

  • Scope of works 
  • Materials and labour allowances 
  • Prime costs and provisional sums 
  • Construction methodology
  • Clarifications and exclusions 
  • Indicative timelines 
  • Cost-saving and value engineering options 
  • Project considerations. 


We believe clients should fully understand what is included in their project before construction begins. Clear documentation and communication help reduce misunderstandings, minimise variations, and provide greater confidence moving forward.

Step 04
Contracts & Pre-Construction

Once the proposal has been finalised, we move into the pre-construction phase and prepare the project for a smooth commencement onsite.

This stage includes:

  • Formal contracts and insurances 
  • Construction scheduling and programme preparation 
  • Site logistics and safety planning 
  • Material procurement and lead time management 
  • Consultant and certifier coordination 
  • Final construction preparation 

Our goal is to ensure clients feel informed, comfortable, and fully prepared before construction starts.

Step 05
Construction & Supervision

With approvals in place and preparation complete, construction begins.

We understand one of the biggest frustrations homeowners experience during renovations is poor communication and lack of visibility throughout the build. So our systems are designed to keep clients informed and involved throughout the entire construction process.

Our construction process includes:

  • Regular progress updates 
  • Weekly onsite meetings 
  • Ongoing supervision by experienced foremen and project managers 
  • Programme tracking and trade coordination 
  • Transparent communication 
  • Quality control inspections 
  • Clean, safe, and organised worksites 
Step 06
Handover & Aftercare

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality projects and maintaining strong relationships with our clients long after construction is complete.

As your project nears completion, we undertake detailed quality checks, defect management, final cleaning, certification coordination, and handover preparation.

Clients are provided with:

  • Compliance certificates and warranties 
  • Handover documentation 
  • Operations and maintenance manuals 
  • Final walkthrough inspections
  • Notice of practical completion  

Our team remains available for ongoing support and aftercare to ensure your completed home continues to meet expectations for years to come.
