1. Discovery Call
The first step in our process is a simple, no-obligation discovery call at a time that is convenient for you. We'll chat about your project, your vision for the space, and your current progress in the pre-construction phase. This conversation allows us to understand your needs and for you to ask any initial questions you might have. It’s the perfect way for both of us to determine if we’re the right fit for the project.
2. Site Survey
Following our initial chat, we’ll arrange a convenient time to meet you at your property for a site survey. This is our chance to see the space in person and discuss your vision in detail. If you don't have existing drawings, we will carry out all the necessary measurements to gather the precise information needed to produce an accurate and comprehensive quote for your project.
3. Itemised Quote
Once we have a full understanding of your project, we will provide you with a detailed, itemized quote. We believe in complete transparency, which is why our quotes break down every single aspect of your investment. This ensures you have a clear picture of exactly where your money is going and can feel confident in your financial commitment to your project.
4. Contract
Once the quote and scope of works have been agreed upon, we will provide you with a comprehensive contract and customer pack. This document formally outlines every detail of your project and includes a clear payment schedule and all necessary warranty documents. This step is designed to provide you with complete transparency and peace of mind, ensuring that the entire project is built on a foundation of trust and mutual agreement.
5. Selections & Bidding
This is the stage where your vision truly begins to take shape. We’ll sit down with you to finalise all of your material and finish selections, from the flooring and cabinetry to the paint colours and fixtures. Following our meeting, we get to work on the logistics, gathering all necessary subcontractor quotes and scheduling them for the project to ensure a smooth, on-time build.
6. Building Control & Approvals
This is a critical, behind-the-scenes stage that we take care of entirely for you. If your project requires building control approval, we will manage all the necessary paperwork and organise any required inspections. This step is a key part of our commitment to professionalism, ensuring your project is fully compliant and legally approved before any physical work takes place on-site.
7. Scheduling
With all approvals in place, we will provide you with a detailed construction schedule. This document serves as a clear roadmap for the entire project, so you know exactly what to expect and when. This meticulous planning keeps everyone aligned from day one, providing you with confidence and a smooth process all the way through to an on-time and on-budget completion.
8. Construction
This is where your vision becomes reality. We manage the build with a focus on clear communication and meticulous quality control. We provide you with regular updates on progress, ensuring you are always informed as your dream home takes shape.
9. Final Walkthrough & Handover
Once construction is complete, we will walk through the completed project with you. We take the time to ensure every detail meets your expectations and that you are completely happy with the result. We will also inform you of all the necessary information, from the location of isolation valves to electrical points. With the final walk-through complete, we proudly hand the keys to your newly renovated property back to you to enjoy.
10. Warranty Period
Our commitment to you doesn't end when the project is complete. Every renovation comes with a 12-month warranty period, a testament to our confidence in the quality of our work. Should any issues arise during this time, we are fully committed to resolving them promptly. This is our promise to you, ensuring your peace of mind and demonstrating our dedication to a long-term relationship.

How Do We Add Value?
To ensure we provide the most accurate and transparent quotes, our tender process begins with a comprehensive discovery call and on-site survey to obtain all the necessary project information. We use specialised software to accurately price every job, which gives us the control to efficiently manage all project documentation.
This ensures every stakeholder has access to the latest information, allowing us to maintain a consistent approach and deliver a precise and compliant tender every time.
We manage and administer every project using SmartSuite software. This industry-leading platform has many advantages and is accessible to our entire project team, allowing us to maintain complete control over every detail. This ensures that all communication and documentation are centralized and easily accessible, providing a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.
All project documents, from contracts and drawings to colour schedules, are saved in one central cloud-based location. Our team members, from a labourer to a site manager, have secure access to the latest information anytime, anywhere, on any mobile device. This ensures everyone is always working from the latest documents and drawings, which not only fosters greater transparency and collaboration but also provides confidence in every step of the project.
Our project programmes are meticulously stored and tracked within the software, giving every team member full, real-time visibility of the project's current status. This allows us to proactively identify and resolve any potential issues as they arise, ensuring your project remains on programme and on track.
By having constant insight into the project's progress, our team can collaborate more efficiently and our meetings can be focused on key decisions, not status updates.
Our commitment to health and safety is at the core of every project we undertake. All of our safety documentation and information, from training records and risk assessments to inspections and permits, are stored in one central fully accessible location. This level of transparency demonstrates our commitment to the safety of everyone on site.
We invest heavily in the training of our site teams and our directors are personally involved in ensuring all safety measures are adequately resourced and funded. With us, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your project is in the hands of a professional team that puts safety first.
Change is a natural part of any project, and our Change Order Management process ensures any adjustments are handled with complete transparency.
We seamlessly manage and track all changes, ensuring your project remains on course and on budget.
At Stoneridge our quality control process is proactive, not reactive. We believe that snag lists aren’t for the end of a project, they start from day one.
Any member of our team can easily and accurately record issues on our software, allowing us to set clear deadlines for remedial works and track progress in real time. This creates full visibility and a transparent process for the entire team.
We also store photographic records of the entire construction process on the app, providing a full and complete record of the project. This meticulous approach ensures that every detail is handled with precision and care, resulting in a flawless finish and a smooth handover.
