What happens, step by step.
Site visit and scope
We visit the property, listen to what you want, measure the existing home, and identify constraints (setbacks, services, soil, flood overlays). No charge for the visit.
Drawn plans and fixed price
We draw scaled plans, price every line, map the council pathway, and present a fixed-price contract. You see the plan, the price, and the permit pathway before you commit.
Council approval and pre-construction
We lodge the DA or CDC, engage the engineer, the certifier, and any specialist consultants, and schedule the build start date once approval is in hand.
Build and handover
One crew builds to the signed plans, on the programmed dates, with progress updates at every milestone. Handover includes a defect walk, certificates, warranties, and a maintenance guide.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability to $20M + Home Building Compensation Fund, and a 6-year structural + Home Building Compensation Fund cover, all in writing, all on request.
We hold a NSW Fair Trading contractor licence, public liability and workers compensation insurance, and Home Building Compensation Fund cover on every residential project over $20,000. The warranty names what is covered, for how long, and what is excluded. Ask to see our certificates before signing any contract.
