Who we help

Carpentry, Concrete & Guard Rail for Builders

Formwork, framing and concrete packages priced against your drawings and held to your programme. We turn up on the date we agreed, and when something is going to move you hear it early enough to re-sequence.

Short answer

Homestead Group works as a subcontractor inside a builder's programme, pricing formwork, framing and concrete packages from your drawings and running the formwork and the pour as a single package rather than two separate subcontracts.

What usually goes wrong

The problems we hear about most.

  • A rate that turns into variations once the job is open
  • A crew that misses the slab date and pushes every trade behind it
  • Formwork stripped late, or left stacked where the next trade needs to work
  • Formwork let by one subcontractor and the pour by another, with the gap between them yours to manage

How we work with you

  • Priced from your drawings with thickness, reinforcement, base and finish stated
  • One coordinator for the whole package, not a different number each week
  • Formwork and the pour run together instead of split across two subcontracts
  • We say no to a date we cannot hold rather than take it and slip
  • Formwork stripped, cleaned and stacked, area cleared for the following trade

FAQ

Questions from builders and developers

For most formwork and framing packages, yes. Send the structural drawings and the programme dates. Anything with unknown ground conditions or an existing structure we would rather look at first, and we will say which yours is when you send it.
Always. We build to the structural documentation you supply. Where the drawings leave something to the contractor, falsework design being the usual one, we will point that out and confirm who is carrying it before we start rather than assuming.
Tell us the pour date on the first call rather than after you have booked the concrete, and we will tell you whether we can hold it. We would rather decline than take it and push you.
Yes. Certificates of currency and SWMS go out with the proposal so paperwork is never the thing holding up a start.

Not quite you?

The standard is the same across all four. Only the paperwork and the scheduling change.
