How long will it take to build my home?

The estimated build period does vary depending on your home design and site conditions. On average a standard single story design can take around 24 to 28 weeks to reach Practical Completion, and a standard double story design may take approximately 36 to 40 weeks to reach Practical Completion.

Can I make changes to our home after I’ve signed the contract?

Yes, you can. Changes are handled through variation forms. It is important to note that as your home progresses further into various phases of construction, variations will become more limited.

What are the steps before construction commences?

Prior to site start, we will undergo the following steps:

  1. Review of land contours and understand any land related impacts on the prospective home design and construction;
  2. Discussion and agreement on the house type (i.e. single, double or duplex etc.), discuss preliminary layout and design and also a preliminary discussion on inclusions;
  3. Develop the preliminary plans;
  4. Develop the engineering plans and any other required technical documentation;
  5. Apply for approval by the relevant utility organisations, such as Sydney Water;
  6. Prepare the tender document that reflects the project costs based on the agreed preliminary plans;
  7. Colour consultation (however timing is flexible based on customer needs);
  8. Prepare the construction plans for review and approval;
  9. Prepared the building contract for discussion and signing;
  10. Apply for the DA/CDC approval.

What are the milestones during the building process?

The building milestones are:

  1. Site start;
  2. Slab construction;
  3. Frame construction;
  4. Brickwork;
  5. Internal plasterboard work;
  6. Practical completion;
  7. Handover; and
  8. Maintenance period review (after the mandatory 90 days).

What warranty will come with my new home once it is complete?
