Construction & Contract Administration | PINS Studio Melbourne

🏗️ Step 8: Construction & Contract Administration – Building with Confidence

With contracts signed, it’s time to build. At PINS Studio, our role doesn’t end with drawings. In Step 8, we provide oversight throughout construction — ensuring your space is delivered with the same care it was designed.
From answering builder queries to reviewing finishes on-site, we stay involved so your project stays on track.

🛠️ What We Do During Construction

As your project moves to site, our team supports you through:

• 🧾 Contract administration (as nominated architect or client rep)
• 🏗️ Site inspections to review progress, quality, and compliance
• 📩 Responding to RFIs (Requests for Information) from builders
• 🖊️ Reviewing shop drawings, samples, and substitutions
• 💬 Managing variations, delays, or builder clarifications
• 🧠 Design problem-solving as issues arise on-site

We act as your design advocate — ensuring intent is followed, corners aren’t cut, and outcomes match expectations.

💡 Why Ongoing Involvement Matters

“PINS didn’t just design — they helped us navigate the entire build. It made the whole process far less stressful.”
— Client, Canterbury

Contract administration ensures:

• 🔎 Issues are identified early
• 🧱 Work aligns with plans, specs, and permits
• 💬 Communication remains open between all parties
• 📏 Design quality is protected until completion

🧭 Tailored to Your Build Type

Whether it’s a residential renovation or a commercial fit-out, we scale our involvement to suit the complexity and delivery model. Some clients want weekly reviews; others prefer milestone-based oversight.
As a Melbourne-based architecture and interiors firm, we work closely with local builders and understand council inspections, weather delays, and supply chain realities — so we plan with foresight.

👉 What Comes Next?

Once construction reaches the finish line, we move to Step 9 – Completion & Handover — where we walk through the space together and hand you the keys.
