The Process
How The Process Works
We’ll start with a free 30-minute phone conversation to better understand your needs. Once you decide you’re happy to progress, this is what happens next.
Concept Meeting
We’ll visit your site to discuss your build in more detail so we can be aware of any location challenges and plan your build more accurately.
Pre-Design Appraisal
For a modest fee we will provide you with a pre-design estimate so you understand the overall costs before applying for a building consent. This simple step can save you time and money further down the track as once your consent is granted it becomes a lot more expensive to make changes.
Price Proposal
Once your plans are consented and all other design specifications have been finalised, we will provide you with a Price Proposal. You can choose between a fixed price quote or cost plus markup estimate. A fixed price means that we give you a fixed sum of what the build will cost. Cost plus markup pricing we give you an estimated sum. At this point you are under no obligation to work with us, but if you choose to go ahead we will credit the cost of the price proposal against your contract sum.
Contract & Guarantees
If you choose to work with us, we will then present you with a comprehensive contract from Certified Builders. This ensures we are both protected throughout the building process.
Construction
It’s time to get your project underway, we will schedule a pre-start meeting, introduce you to your Site Manager, work through a site induction and then schedule regular meetings to discuss the build progress. From here on in you can enjoy watching your plans coming to life.
Handover
Before you and your family move into your new home we will meet with the local building authority and help you obtain your Code of Compliance. The final step is to complete the council documents, provide you with a maintenance schedule and then hand over your keys.
