How we build
Every Reda project runs through the same seven phases — from a first walk of the house to the end of the defects period twelve months after you move back in. The order never changes. What changes is the pace, which is why we programme honestly and tell you early when weather, trade availability or a structural surprise pushes a date.
Phase 01 · Week 0
A first site visit, a proper conversation, and a written scope written the same week.
Reda or one of our senior team walks the house with you. We look at the fabric, the drains, the roof line and the bits no one shows on Instagram. We listen — what's working, what's missing, how the family actually lives. You get a written scope within five working days, covering what we understood, what we didn't, and a rough order-of-magnitude cost.
What you get
Phase 02 · 4–16 weeks
Architect drawings, engineer sign-off and the first honest cost plan.
If you already have an architect, we work with them. If you don't, we introduce you to one of three or four we trust. Concept drawings move to planning or permitted-development drawings; the engineer sizes the steels; we price as drawings develop so you see the cost before every decision sticks.
What you get
Phase 03 · 6–16 weeks
Planning, building control, party-wall and listed-building consents.
The paperwork phase. Planning applications are lodged or permitted-development certified; building control applications go in; party-wall notices are issued to neighbours; listed-building consents follow their own track where relevant. We coordinate it all, update you weekly, and keep the conversation polite with the neighbours — it matters.
What you get
Phase 04 · 2–6 weeks
A line-by-line bill of quantities, a fixed price and a JCT contract.
We price the finalised drawings line-by-line — every steel, every cable, every metre of skirting. If you're tendering competitively, we welcome it; if you've chosen us already, we open the book and walk you through every assumption. The JCT Intermediate or Minor Works contract is signed, the start date is confirmed, and a pre-construction meeting closes out the phase.
What you get
Phase 05 · 8–52 weeks
Strip-out, structure, first fix, plaster, second fix, decorate.
A dedicated site manager, weekly progress meetings, a shared progress album and a co-ordinated programme. Strip-out first, then structure and weathertight envelope, then services and first fix, then plaster, then second fix and decoration. Variations only by written instruction. Nothing disappears without being noticed.
What you get
Phase 06 · 1–3 weeks
Snagging walk, certificates, keys — and a hand-over pack that tells you how the house works.
A formal snagging walk with you, a punch list with dates beside every item, and a full hand-over pack: certificates (electrical, gas, building control), warranties, operating manuals for every piece of kit, paint codes and a schedule of finishes. We hand over a house you know how to live in, not one you're guessing at.
What you get
Phase 07 · 12 months
Twelve-month defects period, quarterly check-ins and an open number.
Every Reda project runs a formal twelve-month defects period. We return at three, six and twelve months to check how the house is settling, attend to any defects, and close out the contract with a full defects certificate. After that, most of our clients move onto an annual maintenance contract — not because they have to, but because keeping the same team on the house keeps it in good order.
