Introduction
Northern Beaches Council is a local government area located in the region of Sydney
which was established to help in the property law. The most common area of specialization is
real property guided by Real property act 1859. Whenever an individual or an organization like
Belrose wants to put up a structure then the Northern Beaches Council has a set of requirements
that have to be met to ensure that the right standards have been adhered to (Ahmari & Zhang, 2012).
For the sake of this report, I gained access to Belrose in Sydney information and Northern
Beaches Council from which a better part of my report has been drawn from.
Findings
The purpose of the construction which has to be conducted is a Residential premise
where the houses that will be created will be used for residential purposes by people. The owner
of the project wants it to have spacious, modern and a variety of houses that can meet the
demand of families in the twenty-first century.
The anticipated cost of the entire project $ 25 000 000 to $ 49 999 999. All the operations
which have to be done from the time the project starts to the time the project comes to an end
should be financed from this budget. All appropriate fittings are also included. Things like
electricity, water, and heating systems will be included in the house (Lazar, 2018). When a
contractor starts working on this project they are expected to deliver the complete project within
agreed time limits and at the cost which has been budgeted for. Appropriate budgeting has been
done to ensure that no excess expenditure is incurred and the project aims at getting the
maximum benefit from this budgetary allocation.

Required approvals
For Belrose to ensure that law has been abided by, some approvals have to be attained
before the projects start. A Development Consent which will allow the company to come up with
Environmental Plans and Development Control Plans. The main aim of the development consent
is to ensure that permission has been granted to minimize interference with the natural
environment (Zuo et al, 2017). Concerning this, there are some circumstances when the same
approval will be necessary and they include: internal alterations to a house, construction of
granny flats, construction of a single or two-story dwelling place, and construction of a
swimming pool, carports, garages, and driveways without forgetting demolition of the same.
This will minimize the impact on the environment.

The construction plan and timeline which was used by the contractor in bringing out this
project is as shown in the table below.

When working on the project various challenges were faced and they included
unfavorable climatic conditions that could keep on interfering with the construction process
(Islam, Jollands & Setunge, 2015).

During cold and rainy seasons some of the constructed structures would be destroyed by
water forcing the contractors to pause the construction process so that they can resume it later.
This makes the project costly since some of the parts which were destroyed by run-off water and
rain have to be repaired before progress can be made (Burdon et al, 2015). This also leads to
delays in the progress of the project making it take a longer time than it was anticipated.
During my visit to the construction site, many things were taking place. On my last two
visits, there was no construction in progress because of bad weather. While during the first four
visits the workers were working on the first floor. I was able to witness the beginning of the first
floor and its progress. At the same time, the progress appeared to be fast in the first four weeks
because the weather was favorable and construction could take place.
Consideration of Risks and safety
Before the construction was started accident risks were considered as per the
requirements, appropriate signage was installed. This meant to show danger zones and areas
where individuals need to be extra careful so that they do not get involved in accidents (Bringolf,
2018). The main aim of doing this was to ensure that all workers at the site and any other person
who comes to the site is safe and is well protected from danger and accidents.
The general safety of the building after construction has been completed became
appropriate and therefore measures were taken to increase the safety of those who will be living
in the houses.

Principles of Design
When designing the project seven principles were taken into consideration and they
include emphasis where this was tailored to be a residential area. It was therefore designed in a
special way such that when a person takes a glance at it, they can agree to it that it has been
emphasized as a residential area. Secondly, there was balance and alignment in terms of all
aspects which have to appear. The features and structures which are part of this project were well
balanced and aligned appropriately so that they can match. The issue of color and contrast was
taken seriously so that the appearance and color-matching which takes place after the
construction process is admirable. There are also instances when some patterns were repeated
proportionately. This was aimed at ensuring that the garden and any other thing which is close to
the house appear attractive and satisfactory (Atkinson et al, 2018). The design also took into
consideration the aspect of movement by ensuring that once all is done, it becomes possible for
one to move from one point to another on the premise.
Eco-friendly aspects
Eco-friendly aspects of construction were also taken into consideration for instance the
whole construction process has to be done without wasting water in a matter that water flows at
the site making it wet. The electrical appliances like the lighting system were designed in a way
such that power used is kept minimum. Crabtree (2016) posits that this will ensure that power is
saved. The structure has also been made in a special way such that the cost of maintaining the
building will be kept low. This has been done by checking on aspects that become costly when
maintaining the building. The main aim of putting in place eco-friendly systems is to ensure that
there is no adverse interference with the natural environment through pollution.

Future expenses
After the construction of this structure, there are expectations that in the future
renovations, decorations and repair of broken parts will be considered as future expenses. This is
the case because the parts used at different points go through wear and tear making them not to
be efficient throughout. The house is also expected to start growing old and hence some money
has to be spared for the sake of keeping the place neat and clean (Cook, 2018). This has made it
necessary for the owner to make sure that a budget which is different from the one on
construction process has been set aside to ensure that the building remains in good condition
with all things maintained in an appropriate condition.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that whenever an individual comes to a point when they have to
actively take part in the construction process of a given project then there are things which
should be done. A person has to make sure that planning has been done in the right manner, the
right legal aspects have been kept under consideration and a timeline has to be prepared (Kiem &
Austin, 2013). Apart from these budgets for construction and future expenses have to be taken
care of. There is no doubt that security remains an imperative issue which should be looked at
keenly. According to Weatherall (2018) when an individual wants to ensure that things are done
in the right manner then they have to ensure that they are law-abiding. If there are any laws
which guide the construction process then they should be adhered to so that all things can go on
in the right manner.
