Once we have had an inspection of your site, an initial site‑specific tender will be prepared. This document outlines the itemised costs of the build, allowing you to fully understand your investment and ask questions early in the
This is one of the most exciting parts of the home building process. Accepting the tender and making a preliminary payment will get the ball rolling on drafting your construction plans and contract.
Contour and soil testing will be completed to ensure your home is engineered appropriately for your site. Using this information, we will draft your construction plans, which will be presented and reviewed with you.
During your selections appointment, you will work with our team to choose all the features of your home, including colours, finishes, fixtures, products, and your kitchen design. We’ll also review your construction plans, add any chosen upgrades to your quote. This will allow our team to create the documentation needed for CDC or DA approval and contracts.
Our team will coordinate the required certification including engineering, BAL and BASIX needed for a CDC or DA and submit the documentation for approval. At this stage, we will also obtain the necessary driveway and water approvals.
Once approvals are granted, you will need to sign your final contract and pay the build deposit. Materials are ordered, trades are scheduled, and you will be introduced to your dedicated Site Supervisor, who will oversee your build and provide regular progress updates.
Site preparation begins with earthworks, service installation, and the pouring of your engineered slab, designed to support your home’s energy performance and structural integrity.
The structural frame is erected, followed by the installation of windows and external doors.
External walls, cladding or brickwork, and roofing are installed to reach the “lock‑up” stage. At this time, key services such as plumbing and electrical rough‑ins are completed. You’ll be invited for a walk‑through to confirm lighting placements and electrical outlets.
This stage includes adding plasterboard, internal doors, cabinetry, bathrooms, and joinery. Every element is installed with attention to quality, comfort, and performance.
Final finishes are completed, including painting, flooring, tiling, electrical and plumbing fit‑offs, appliances, window furnishings, driveways, and any landscaping included in your contract. Your home is carefully detailed and prepared for handover.
