1. What is Construction Work?

Construction services encompass the full build from ground‑up or addition/extension:

New builds such as custom homes or garden suites
Garages, home additions, cottages, secondary units
Structural work, framing, roofing, interior/exterior finishing
Site preparation, utilities, foundation, structural integrity
Jacko Contracting specialises in delivering construction projects that are both highly functional and visually appealing.

2. Why Professional Construction Matters

Safety & Compliance: Proper structural design avoids issues like settlement, leaks or failures, and meets local building codes.
Quality & Longevity: Skilled craft ensures materials perform well over time and issues like water intrusion, insulation failures or thermal bridging are mitigated.
Value & Usability: A well‑constructed addition or build enhances usability (more living space, better flow) and can increase property value.
Efficiency & Predictability: A professional team offers clear timelines, budget transparency and fewer surprises during the build.

3. Types & Styles of Projects

At Jacko Contracting, we handle a wide variety of construction types, including:

Custom Homes: Fully built from the ground up, tailored to your vision and site.
Home Additions / Extensions: Expanding your existing house — e.g., extra rooms, upgraded living space.
Garages & Accessory Buildings: Detached or attached garages, workshop spaces, storage buildings.
Garden Suites & Secondary Units: Modern living solutions that add rental or in‑law unit potential.
Cottages & Seasonal Builds: Vacation homes or seasonal residences, designed for comfort and durability.
Each project is unique in style, materials, and function — and we guide you to pick what fits your needs and site.

4. Planning, Permits & Regulations

Confirming zoning, setbacks, site coverage, height restrictions and any local bylaws is critical before construction begins.
Site assessments: soil, drainage, neighbouring structures, environmental conditions.
Permits and inspections: structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical work may be required.
Jacko Contracting takes care of navigating these regulations so you don’t have to.

5. Materials, Durability & Finishing

Choosing the right materials and finishing touches will affect your build’s lifespan, maintenance needs and aesthetic. A few considerations:

Structure & Framing: Timber vs steel, engineered joists, quality of fasteners.
Envelope & Weather‑proofing: Insulation, vapour barriers, flashing, windows/doors.
Interior Finishes: Flooring, drywall, trim work, cabinetry.
Exterior Finishes: Siding, brick/stone, roofing, window/door systems.
Sustainability and maintenance matter: a premium build reduces long‑term costs and headaches.

6. The Construction Process & Best Practices

Here’s how Jacko Contracting typically handles a construction project to ensure efficiency and excellence:

Consultation & Design: Understand goals, site conditions, budget, vision.
Quotation & Agreement: Transparent pricing, scope definition, timeline.
Site Preparation & Foundation: Clear, excavate if needed, pour foundation or footings.
Framing & Structural Work: Build the skeleton, ensure plumb/square, install major components.
Envelope & Systems: Roofing, windows/doors, insulation, mechanicals (HVAC, plumbing, electrical).
Interior & Exterior Finishing: Drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry, siding, landscaping as needed.
Final Inspection & Completion: Quality check, site cleanup, handover and warranty discussion.
Throughout: clear communication, clean site, timely updates, minimal disruption to your life.

7. Integration with Existing Structures & Neighbourhoods

Projects involving additions or garages often involve tying into existing buildings—attention to interface, waterproofing, rooflines, transitions.
Respect for neighbouring properties: access, sightlines, noise control, disruption minimised.
Landscaping and outdoor spaces: Building a structure that fits with its environment increases overall appeal.
Our goal is that your new build doesn’t feel like an after‑thought—it feels original to the property.
