Building construction

Workflows for commercial complexes and luxury residential developments — with the survey and the soil report produced by the same team that pours the concrete.

Sectors

What we build

ARN takes on projects where the ground, the structure and the programme are genuinely coupled — hillside and sloping sites, deep basements, phased commercial builds and high-specification residential work.

  • Commercial complexes — retail, office and mixed-use, phased to keep parts of the asset trading
  • Luxury residential — individual villas and low-density developments with bespoke detailing
  • Apartment & housing — repeatable floor cycles with formwork planned for the cycle time
  • Warehousing & industrial — large-span sheds, hardstanding and heavy floor slabs
  • Institutional — schools, healthcare and community buildings on a fixed academic or funding calendar
  • ContractDesign-build, construction-only, or management contracting
  • PricingPriced BOQ with a measured earthwork basis from the aerial survey
  • ReportingWeekly look-ahead, monthly progress capture, transparent variation log
  • SafetyMethod statements and permits per activity; toolbox talks recorded
  • HandoverAs-builts, warranties, O&M manuals, defect liability schedule

Workflow

From site clearance to defect liability

The sequence below is the standard ARN delivery workflow. Stages overlap on fast-track projects, but no stage is skipped.

Stage 01

Survey & site model

Aerial capture, terrain model and existing-condition record. Earthwork volumes measured before they are priced.

Stage 02

Ground investigation

Boreholes and lab testing set the foundation type, excavation support and any anchorage the site needs.

Stage 03

Design coordination

Architectural, structural and MEP drawings reconciled; clashes resolved on paper, not in the slab.

Stage 04

Mobilisation

Site establishment, access, safety plan, procurement schedule and the baseline programme everyone signs.

Stage 05

Substructure

Excavation and support, foundations, waterproofing and basement works, with inspection records per element.

Stage 06

Superstructure

RCC frame or steel erection on a planned formwork cycle; concrete cubes tested against the mix design.

Stage 07

Envelope & services

Roofing, façade, waterproofing and MEP first fix, sequenced so wet trades never chase dry ones.

Stage 08

Finishes & handover

Finishes, testing and commissioning, snag close-out, documentation dossier and the defect liability period.

Controls

How cost, quality and time are actually held

Measured, not estimated

Earthwork, stockpiles and fill are computed from surveyed surfaces. Interim bills are checked against the month's aerial capture, so what is certified matches what is on the ground.

Quality at the point of work

Pour checklists, reinforcement inspection sign-off, cube results and material test certificates are filed per element — the handover dossier is assembled as the building goes up, not afterwards.

One programme, one owner

Survey, geotechnical and construction sit in the same programme with the same site manager accountable. There is no interface where a delay can be handed to somebody else.

Have drawings, a plot, or just a plan?

Bring us in at the survey stage and the foundation design will cost less than it will after the layout is fixed.
