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 to lock in the base price and receive the site plans for your new home. 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.

This is where you’ll select all of the electrical fittings for your home, and learn about all of the amazing advances we have seen in the last couple of years in technology. This can be overwhelming, however, your New Home Consultant will walk you through the process and make it easy to understand.

Every piece of documentation for your contract is crosschecked against your final tender, colour/electrical selections and drawings before being given to you to sign. The second 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. They’ll also begin ordering materials from their suppliers in preparation for site start. 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. The very last thing to do before your home begins construction is to sign and return your final construction drawings.
