How long before I receive a proposal?
After a complete brief — and a site review when needed — we typically issue a scoped proposal within one business day. Complex commercial or multi-unit programmes may need longer, which we flag up front.
A clear path from concept to completion
Every HYMRO engagement — villa renovation, office fit-out, commercial build, or remote-managed diaspora project — follows the same milestone framework so scope, budget, and quality stay visible.
How does HYMRO run a construction project from scope to handover?
HYMRO runs a construction project as five written gates: consultation, scoped proposal, sample and design lock, supervised construction with weekly reports and hold-point inspections, then snag close-out and handover records. You approve the baseline, materials, change orders, and payment stages against evidence — not against informal site chat.
- 01
What happens at consultation?
We review your goals, property condition, constraints, and timeline — in person in Syria or by video call if you are abroad. You leave with consultation notes, whether a site survey is required, and what to send for a proposal.
- 02
What must the scoped proposal lock before demolition?
You receive a written scope, material allowances, exclusions, milestone-based pricing, and a draft programme. You approve this baseline before procurement or demolition — including who may sign change orders.
- 03
When are materials and samples approved?
Layouts, finishes, joinery, and technical coordination are aligned with your intent and local requirements. You approve sample boards and key specifications before bulk orders, so remote clients can sign off without standing on site.
- 04
What do weekly reports and quality inspections cover?
Licensed trades work under daily site discipline. Hold-point inspections at rough-in and finish stages are logged before walls close. You receive weekly photo packs plus fuller milestone reports at structure, MEP, and finishes before the next payment gate.
- 05
What handover documentation should you keep?
Final walkthrough, snag list close-out with photos, as-built notes, and maintenance guidance for finishes and systems. You keep records that match what was actually installed — ready for property care or a later upgrade.
What you receive and approve at each gate
The process is the same for local and overseas owners. WhatsApp speeds clarification; the artefacts below are the filed record.
| Gate | You receive | You approve |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | Notes, survey need, brief checklist | Whether to proceed to a scoped proposal |
| Scope & proposal | Inclusions, exclusions, allowances, payment gates | Written baseline before demolition or procurement |
| Samples & design | Boards, labelled photos, lead times | Finish lock before bulk orders |
| Construction hold points | Weekly pack + structure / MEP / finishes reports | Next payment stage after labelled evidence |
| Handover | Snag close-out, as-built notes, care guidance | Practical completion and defects list |
Process terms in plain language
- Payment stage
- A release of funds after a named gate is evidenced — not after a calendar date alone.
- Milestone approval
- Your written yes (or pause) on samples, hold points, or extras before the next spend or covering trade starts.
- Handover pack
- Closed snags, as-built notes, finish specs, and care guidance — the file Property Services can inherit.
What should you approve before the next payment stage?
Do not release a stage against a calendar date or a tidy photo of one room.
- Written scope still matches what is being built, or a priced change order is on file
- Hold-point photos for work that will be covered next (waterproofing, first-fix, ceilings)
- Sample or material lock for the package about to be installed
- Weekly pack covering every active zone, not only the tidy corner
- Open extras listed as approved, declined, or paused — none sitting in chat only
- Snag or residual list named if this is the last payment before keys
Living abroad?
The same five stages apply to overseas owners. Reporting, approvals, and WhatsApp access are built into Project Management and our Overseas Syrians pathway — so you are never guessing what happened on site.
Process FAQs
What do I receive at each stage?
Consultation notes and next steps; a written proposal with milestones; finish samples and drawings for approval; photo and video progress packs during construction; snag list and handover records at completion.
How do construction milestone payments work?
Your proposal sets a phased payment schedule tied to measurable gates — typically after scope approval, then after structure or MEP hold points, finishes packages, and snag close-out. Stage amounts are confirmed in writing for your programme; full payment up front is not required, and we do not publish a generic industry percentage chart.
Can the process run entirely remotely?
Yes for many residential and renovation programmes. You approve scope and finishes from abroad while HYMRO supervises site. See our Overseas Syrians page for the remote communication model.
Who signs quality at each process gate?
At each process gate the named project lead inspects, photographs, and files the hold point before the next covering trade or payment stage. You (or your overseas approver) sign the evidence pack. If you want a separate third-party inspector for purchase or structure, that report sits beside HYMRO’s gate file — it is not the same as our site process.
What is the difference between a process gate and day-to-day site supervision?
A process gate is a written pause — proposal, samples, hold-point pack, or handover — that you approve before money or covering trades move. Day-to-day construction supervision (الإشراف على البناء) is the on-site check that work matches drawings between those gates. Public-tender contractor grades do not replace either artefact on a private villa or office.
What handover documents should I keep for maintenance?
Keep the closed snag list with photos, finish specifications, MEP locations, warranty contacts, and any care notes for wet areas and marble or joinery. Property Services can take over from those same records.
