The Building Process

We meet with you to discuss your plans to knock-down/rebuild or renovate your existing home & we explain our building processes. We then provide a Proposal for the preliminary works.
If you already have detailed drawings, we can review them with you. Otherwise we will recommend a designer, who you will have the opportunity to meet with to ensure the right fit & to discuss your project.
We then issue our Preliminary Agreement which may include costs such as a site survey, geotechnical, engineering & feasibility reports & concept design. We will also provide you with a high-level budget for your project.
We meet to discuss your concept design & budget, along with our designer if required & start considering your selections such as finishes & fixtures. We also determine the easiest way to obtain approval – CDC or DA. When you have decided on your design & selections we can finalise documentation including working drawings, general specifications, window & doors schedule, structural & hydraulic engineering & BASIX certificate.
Our Proposal will include a comprehensive list of your selections with a detailed breakdown of costs for each trade, a full project schedule & a copy of our industry association contract. We will spend some time with you to go over the contract & discuss any other queries you may have regarding the building process such as variations.
Once you have agreed to move forward, we will commence the approval process & finalise decisions on finishes & fixtures.
Once approval is obtained, site works can commence. You will be able to monitor every step of your project using our unique project management system giving you up-to-date information & photos. We will also arrange for regular budget & program review meetings.
We want you to love your new home. Before we hand over the keys, we will carry out a full quality assurance inspection. We also provide you with a comprehensive ‘Home Owner’s Manual’ which includes your warranty information, fixtures & finishes schedules, servicing & cleaning information, services diagrams & as-built drawings.
Our relationship doesn’t end when we hand over your keys to your new home. We provide a free ‘Health Check’ at 3 months & 12 months after completion so we can monitor your home during all four seasons of the year.
