The New Build Process

Initial Consultation

We begin with a one-on-one meeting to understand your vision, ideas, and needs for your new home. This is an opportunity to explore your goals and ensure that our approach aligns with your expectations. We’ll discuss timelines, budgets, and any specific requirements you have in mind.

Design Concepts

We collaborate with talented designers and architects to bring your ideas to life. We work closely with them to turn your vision into a design concept that reflects your style and needs, ensuring that every detail aligns with your dream home.

Your Build Estimate

Once the design is approved, we provide a detailed cost estimate for your project. This breakdown includes materials, labor, and any other expected costs, helping you understand the budget requirements and adjust accordingly.

Contracts & Consents

With the design finalized and budget approved, we prepare all necessary contract documents and submit the building consent application to the local council. We handle all compliance matters, ensuring a smooth start to your project.

Construction

After obtaining consent, construction begins on your new home. Our experienced team follows the agreed-upon plans, keeping you updated throughout each phase. You’ll be informed of progress, milestones, and any required decisions to keep the project moving smoothly.

Your New Home

Once construction is completed, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our quality standards and your expectations. After a thorough walkthrough and approval, we hand over the keys to your brand-new home, welcoming you into a space built with care and precision.
