Our Process
How we manage our work?
1. First Initial Contact
We understand that your time is valuable, so we will promptly phone you to book a no-obligation meeting. In addition, we will send through an email questionnaire for you to complete containing questions that help get us a background on your project ideas. This ensures our first meeting runs smoothly, efficiently and covers everything.
2. Site Meeting
We will meet with you at your home to discuss your project in detail and review the completed questionnaire. During this meeting, we will ask additional questions to understand your specific needs and requirements for the entire duration of the project. We will also take a more in-depth look at the brief and the scope of work required.
You are welcome to bring along any ideas, house plans, section information, or other relevant materials you would like to discuss. If you don’t have any concept plans yet, don’t worry! We will be happy to recommend an architect we have worked closely with in the past.
If you already have concept plans prepared, feel free to skip straight to step 5.
3. Architect Design Process
After the site meeting we will have a better understanding of your requirements and vision, so we are able to meet with the architect of your choice to discuss these requirements and ideas. Your chosen architect will design an initial concept plan that fits your requirements. This enables a better visualization of what your dream home will look like based on your ideas so far.
We always work with the architect whether it be our recommended architect or an architect of your choosing, through the design and consent process so all of us; client, architect and builder, share a mutual understanding of the project.
4. Cost Estimate
If you’re like most people, you’ll want to know that the design you pick will be well within your budget. Through an in-depth cost estimation, we ensure it happens. Giving you a better idea of what your investment amount will be for your project. Along with cost estimates, we start a timeline plan which assists with working out the full cost of the project.
Once you have given the final plans for approval, the architect will lodge them with the Council and we will then get started on your fixed price quotation.
5. Fixed Price Quotation
Now your plans are in council it’s time to put together your details and final quote. This outlines what your investment is going to be before your project commences. Once you’re happy with the design, and timeline, and the fixed price quote is agreed upon we start signing off all the relevant paperwork and hand over your action plan to you so you can stay up to date on the project.
Of course, if your build has any unexpected variations that occur and may impact your budget, or if you make changes in your requirements, we will promptly update any of the quotes and timelines where necessary and allow you enough time to make your decisions.
6. Contract & Timeline Approval
Once you are happy with the design and all your requirements have been met, we go through your paperwork to ensure everything is taken care of including the signing of the contract. We will agree on our start date and prepare for construction to commence on creating your dream home.
7. Your Dream Home
You have made the final payment, the construction is complete, the house is thoroughly cleaned, and the keys are handed over, now it’s time for you to move into your dream home. Although the house is completed we will keep in touch and call you further down the track to see if there are any minor issues that we can fix to ensure your dream home is still your dream home.
