INITIAL CONSULTATION
We meet with you to find out about your family, your lifestyle and your dreams. This helps us obtain a design brief, which
includes:
- The type, size and style of your home
- Design ideas, pictures and sketches
- Land information
- Your desired inclusions and options
- Your budget
Should you wish to proceed following our initial consultation process; we request that you agree to our Preliminary Agreement
along with payment of a non-refundable initial deposit for the preparation of an initial design and for the undertaking
of site investigations.
SITE INVESTIGATION & INITIAL DESIGN
We now organise your site contour survey, site soil/borehole test, compliance reports and initial design.
We then spend the time to discuss the plans with you in detail, including:
- Making sure the layout meets your requirements
- The siting and position of the home on the site
- Any zoning or restrictions affecting the site
- Inclusions, options and upgrades tailored to your budget
FIXED PRICE TENDER & PRESENTATION
After all of the reports have come through and you’ve agreed on your inclusions, we’ll prepare a fixed price tender and
go through it with you at our office.
Upon acceptance of the tender we request payment of a non-refundable deposit for the preparation of Construction Drawings.
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS & CONTRACT SIGNING
Once your construction drawings and contracts have been developed, we’ll sit down with you again to go through them. It’s
important that we review them with you to ensure that all of the needs and requirements we established earlier have
been met.
Once your drawings are signed off we include them in your building contract, and a 10% deposit is all we need to get started
(less previously paid deposits within steps 1 & 3).
DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS & COLOUR SELECTIONS
We’ll arrange for all of your development applications to be submitted including:
- BASIX Certificate
- Developer Approval (if applicable)
- Water Authority approvals
- Structural engineering drawings
At this stage you will finalise your internal and external colour selections through our personalised service and helpful
building partners.
