The Shomera Process

Successful projects don’t happen by accident

Over more than 28 years and 3,000 completed projects, Shomera has developed a proven process that removes uncertainty, reduces risk and gives homeowners confidence from the very beginning.

Four Stages, One Team

Every Shomera project moves through the same four stages, managed end to end by one in-house team. Here is what each stage involves, and what you can expect from us along the way.

Design

Creating a Space That Works for You

Every project begins with understanding how you want to live. We visit your home, listen to your ideas and explore what your property allows. Our design team then works with our Architects on a solution that balances aesthetics, functionality and budget. Drawings and detailed cost planning refine every aspect, so by the end of the Design Phase you know the design, the costs and what comes next.

Off-Site

Planning Everything Before We Arrive

Much of the work that makes a Shomera project successful happens here. Once your design is approved, our Project Management, Architectural and Engineering teams prepare every detail of the build before work starts on site. Surveys are completed, drawings finalised, materials selected and key decisions signed off in advance. Resolving issues early is what lets us confirm start dates with certainty.

On-Site

Efficient Delivery. Minimal Disruption.

Because so much preparation is already complete, the on-site phase is far more efficient. Your project team coordinates every trade, delivery and milestone to a planned schedule, with regular updates on progress and what comes next. From groundworks through to finishes, fittings and handover, every stage follows a defined sequence, so the build is faster and less disruptive to your home.

Aftercare

Support Beyond Completion

Our relationship with our clients doesn’t end when construction finishes. After completion we carry out a detailed review, address any snagging items and provide all relevant documentation, certifications and product information. More importantly, we’re still here if you need us. Many of our clients come to us through recommendation, so long-term relationships have always been core to how we operate.

Built Around Certainty

Every stage is planned, costed and managed in-house, so nothing is left to chance once work begins.

Because design, planning, engineering, cost management and construction all sit under one roof, the decisions that usually cause delay are made long before anyone arrives on site. Drawings are finalised, materials are chosen and the programme is agreed in advance, which is why we can commit to a start date and hold it.

It also means one team answers for the whole project. There is no gap between the people who design your home and the people who build it, and no one passing responsibility along.
