McDonald Constructions

We handle design, construction, costing and scheduling in house, working with a qualified team of trusted subcontractors, so your project is completed on time and on budget.

Our team works through every stage with you, from the first concept through design, approvals, project management, contract administration, site management and WHS. It’s why so many of our clients come back to us.

  1. 01

    Engagement

    Starting a building project can be daunting. Whether you have preliminary plans or just an idea, we’ll guide you through the process, beginning with an initial consultation.

  2. 02

    Draft/Design

    Our design team helps turn your concept into reality. We consult architectural, structural, civil, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical engineers early, so any concerns are identified before the design brief is set.

  3. 03

    Preparation of Budget

    Using the design brief, we prepare a budget for your project, so you can see the expected cost before pricing and detailed design begin.

  4. 04

    Tendering/Pricing

    We prepare a detailed scope of works for each trade, which sets the staging and construction method. Our preferred subcontractors and suppliers then price the work, and we look for savings without compromising on quality.

  5. 05

    Detailed Design

    Once the tender price is agreed, we complete the detailed design, covering structural, architectural, civil and hydraulic planning, and manage the construction drawings and specifications.

  6. 06

    Project Management

    We manage procurement, development and town planning, building permits and stakeholder meetings. Our experienced project managers have strong relationships with local authorities and other external parties, and keep a close eye on approvals and material delays so key milestones are met.

  7. 07

    Licences & Certification

    We are a fully licensed and insured commercial builder. Every subcontractor must hold the right licences and meet building certification requirements, and all subcontractors and suppliers are assessed on their performance and quality throughout the project.

  8. 08

    Safety

    The safety of our people is our first priority. Every project has its own safety plan, site-specific inductions and toolbox talks, and safety is monitored from start to finish to protect our team, subcontractors, clients and the community.
