The Building Process

Steve personally manages your project from inception to handing over the keys on move-in day. 

His passion is guiding you through the entire process, including providing advice on tricky decisions that come up along the way. He is continually researching and trialling new products, building systems and trends so you can be assured you are given the latest advice and ideas. 

Knowing where to start can be daunting so we provide customers with our ‘5 easy step guide’ to the building process. From start to finish we will provide you with our utmost commitment.

1

The first step is discovering exactly what styles suit your tastes, we recommend researching, gathering and compiling all your ideas and either making a scrap-book, mood board or a list. Include the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, ideas on exterior materials like cladding, fixing styles and lots of imagery of elements you like, as well as colours, textures and interior features, etc.

Give Steve a call to arrange a time to meet for your no obligation free consultation to discuss your ideas and/or plans and talk over how we can turn these into a reality. If you already have a full set of plans we will be able to give you a fixed price for your build.


3

If we are designing your project together, this is the stage we would provide you with a project estimate so you can get the finance underway, and once you have the green light, we will require a pre-consent deposit to go ahead with the working drawings. This deposit will be subtracted from your contract price. Once the working drawings are complete, we will provide you with a fixed quote. From here the contract is then signed and plans are submitted to Council for building consent.

The exciting bit starts once the plans have been approved. We will be making regular contact with you to keep you updated on progress and let you know what decisions we need from you to allow the process to run as smoothly as possible. Staged progress payments will be made throughout the build as per the Registered Master Builders Contract.

It’s moving in time! Everything specified has been completed, the final payment has been made and it's all yours - the date you have been looking forward to!
