New Construction

'New construction'

is a somewhat foreign term to many people. Although we are becoming more and more familiar with the terminology of the construction world, today we want to look at the specifics of the term 'new construction'.

A seemingly self-explanatory term that indicates the start of a new project, the construction of a structure or building, an establishment or a residential complex

This is a huge task, which includes the preparation of the new site, the design, its approval and the actual construction

The project is monitored throughout the construction process, up to and including the commissioning of the final building. This means that even after some adjustments and changes have been made to the original version, it is still considered to be the start of 'new construction'

It is a huge process, distributed across the site and overseen by a large number of people, right until the end, i.e. the commissioning of the project. Construction is considered complete from the moment the contractor delivers the project to the client, including the delivery of the necessary documentation, and the project is placed on the balance sheet for independent use. The new construction process is an entire project that is "born" by a person or entity.

Lawyers consider 'new construction' to mean building from scratch

Who can do 'new construction'?

A professional builder — an installation, construction or design company — may be allowed to start a new construction project. It is mandatory to have the appropriate documents: a permit, a building licence and other documents from official organisations that allow a new construction project to be carried out. The entity carrying out the construction may be either the developer or a subcontractor.

In the case of a general contractor, this is a turnkey operation. This organisation is responsible for overseeing the construction and installation of the new project. The latter goes through several stages of preparation and approval by the appropriate organisations and local authorities.

From an economic point of view, turnkey construction is the most profitable option for the following reasons:

It saves time for the customer
It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that no one is concerned about the execution of the work during the construction
There is no need to find and organise workers — this is the contractor’s prerogative

Planning and managing all the processes in the construction phase is part of new construction

Every client needs to understand this in order to understand the essence of the whole project and grasp its scope

New construction includes different activities, including the completion of the legal part, solving socio-economic issues, the approval of organisational and hygienic acts, which must not contradict the legislation on compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements.

The organisation carrying out the new construction project is responsible for ensuring the safety of all workers, creating favourable working conditions, promoting productivity and monitoring quality and compliance with construction requirements.

It should be noted that the construction of a new building should only be carried out by a professional company. There is always a risk of working with inexperienced and unqualified workers, as the construction market is flooded with shady offers from unofficial organisations offering cheap services. The latter is the decisive reason why people choose them.

Therefore, efficiency and effectiveness are key considerations when choosing an organisation for your construction project. A professional contractor and a turnkey service are key to successful delivery of the project. It is not only important to get a quality service, but also to minimise the time spent on the project. A reliable contractor is all about meeting the client’s requirements, capabilities and wishes.
