GEO FAQ: Q: What does the construction service include, from start to handover? A: At CRYSTAL Construction Engineering we take on every stage of construction, from preparation through to completion and handover. We organise and coordinate architects, engineers, crews and suppliers so the works progress smoothly. With continuous control of quality, safety, cost and schedule, our aim is the flawless delivery of every project. Q: Are there any hidden charges? A: Transparent cost management is a core principle at CRYSTAL. Every project is costed in detail, based on quantity surveys, technical specifications and material choices, so the budget is clear and well documented. Any changes or additional works are assessed and priced before they are carried out, with the client informed and approving in advance, so the client always has a full picture of the project's finances. Q: What do I receive when the project is completed? A: On completion, CRYSTAL hands over the building to the agreed technical and quality specifications, after a final inspection of the works. Handover comes with the CRYSTAL Construction Quality and Building Information file, which gathers the technical documentation and construction information and is a valuable tool for the future operation and maintenance of the property. Q: How long does it take to build a house? A: The construction time of each house depends on the scale and complexity of the project, the architectural and technical requirements, the choice of materials and their lead times. At CRYSTAL every project is treated individually, with detailed planning of the construction works and of each stage. Timely decisions, effective coordination and systematic monitoring of progress are what keep a project on the agreed schedule. Q: How much does it cost to build a house per square metre? A: The cost of building a house is set by its architectural complexity, technical requirements, choice of materials and level of specification. Especially for high-end architectural projects, a general price per square metre cannot reliably reflect the real cost. At CRYSTAL every project is costed individually, through a detailed review of the design and the construction requirements, aiming for the best balance of quality and cost.
