01
Free ConsultationDay 1
A relaxed, no-obligation conversation about your land, your budget and what you want to achieve. We'll tell you honestly if your goals don't match your block.
- Understand your brief, budget range and timeline
- Preliminary zoning and planning check
- You receive: honest advice and a proposed pathway
02
Site Inspection & FeasibilityWeek 1
We walk the block together — slope, access, services, overshadowing, the neighbour's peppercorn tree. Constraints found now cost nothing; found during construction, they cost plenty.
- Site survey, soil test and services location
- Zoning, FSR and heritage overlay review
- You receive: a written feasibility summary
03
Concept Design & Preliminary EstimateWeeks 2–5
Our designer drafts a concept shaped by your brief and the site's opportunities. We price it in real time, so the design and the budget grow together instead of colliding later.
- Concept floor plans and facade studies
- Preliminary cost estimate per inclusion
- You receive: concept drawings + cost range
04
Approvals — DA / CDCWeeks 6–14
We prepare and lodge the development application or complying development certificate, manage town planners, heritage consultants and neighbours' objections if they arise.
- Full documentation pack prepared and lodged
- Council or private certifier managed on your behalf
- You receive: your approval, without council queues
05
Construction Drawings & Fixed-Price ContractWeeks 15–18
Working drawings, engineering, energy report and the selection of your finishes — all finalised before we price the contract, so the number we sign is the number you pay.
- Full working drawings and structural engineering
- HIA fixed-price contract with stage payment schedule
- You receive: contract, colour selections, start date
06
Construction20–40 wks

- Weekly progress reports with site photos
- Independent stage inspections before each payment
- You receive: certainty, week after week
07
Quality Checks & Practical CompletionFinal 2 wks
Independent inspectors check every stage during construction. Before handover we walk the home together with your snag list and fix everything — before you move in, not after.
- Mandatory stage inspections: slab, frame, waterproofing
- Practical completion inspection with your snag list
- You receive: a defect-free home on move-in day
08

- 7-year structural warranty under HBCF
