Process
Initial Conversation
Whether you’re ready to build or renovate, or still considering your initial options, we’re always happy to help. With 100s of homes worked on, 20 years of experience and no obligation to go further, we’re the natural choice when you need to ask a team of experts. And because we’re real people just like you, we’ll focus on clear answers to the questions you ask.
Preliminary Assessment & Planning
Matching the intended design to the block of land or existing home is one of the most important parts of any successful project. To ensure nothing is left to chance, we conduct a comprehensive site assessment that includes: analysis of orientation, slope, soil, surrounding structures and more. From there, we take you through our Design Discovery Process so we can create a detailed Project Brief. It’s all part of our promise to clearly explain your options at every stage so you end up with the keys to your dream home in your hand.
Concept Planning
Our experienced Designers specialises in turning bright ideas and sparks of inspiration into a clear Concept Plan complete with specifications, finishes, and initial inclusions. It’s at this point we can turn your price guide into a firmer estimate so you can see what’s available for your budget. And to help you make a decision you’ll be delighted with, you’ll also receive floor plans, elevations and 3D perspectives at the same time.
Preliminary Building Agreement
This is where we’ll take care of the hard work so you don’t have to; arranging approvals, creating construction drawings, conducting structural design & engineering and energy assessments. We’ll also help you finalise your selections with our specialist interior designer, schedule every aspect of your build or renovation, and ensure everything happens like clockwork. All you have to do is agree to the schedule and fixed price and then sit back and relax while we bring your dream home to life.
Contract & Deposit
Once you accept the final fixed-price tender, we’ll create the home building contract and any other necessary paperwork quickly and efficiently. We’re real people just like you, so we’ll make sure you never have the frustration of having to chase us for an update. We’ll also set up a meeting at your convenience where you can sign in-person and ask any questions. It just works better when everyone is sat round the same table.
Construction Begins
This is the most exciting part of the process and the point at which your dream home really starts to take shape. To make sure you’re up to speed with the latest developments, our representative and site supervisor will meet with you on a regular basis to provide timely updates. You can also access our intuitive project management system online to check out progress around the clock. And to make sure your home is everything you want it to be, you’ll always be the first to be invited to the critical stage inspections that safeguard the quality of our work. We really have thought of everything.
