The Building Process

Once you’ve found a design you love, an outcome that you’ve no doubt reached after enduring countless hours in display homes, on builder’s websites and stalking the Instagram images of architectural masterpieces, you’ll need to place your initial deposit. You’ll receive a formal quotation from your New Home Consultant, then pay the deposit (your tender acceptance fee) to lock in the base price and prepare your new home building contract. You’ll also need to speak to your bank/mortgage broker at this stage to ensure you are in the position to receive a loan.

All documentation for your contract is prepared and sent out to you to you to sign. The final part of the deposit is also due to be paid at this point.

Once the contract is signed, your builder will obtain all required permits to begin construction. You’ll need to have unconditional finance approval from your lender and go through a checklist to make sure your site is ready for construction with things like clearing debris and cutting the grass. Then, your final construction drawings will be completed, and you’ll need to sign and return them. The very last thing to do before your home begins construction will be the ordering of materials from their suppliers in preparation for site start.
