TH1. What is the process of building a house at BuildSabai?
Answer: There are two options which are
1) Customer already has the drawings
2) Customer does not have the drawings
In the first case, customer will consult with our architect about house’s style and functions in order to proceed with “Design Proposal” stage. After agreed on the design, our customers will sign on a “Design and Build Contract” as an official commencement of the work. When the drawings are completed and approved, we would propose our customer with project quotation along with material list according to the house design. Also our engineer will present work phases that indicate both start and finish date. After the customer approved all the documents, the construction may begin.
In a second case, BuildSabai would propose project quotation to a customer according to the design along with work stages as in the first case.
