This process allows you to get to know us and for us to get to know you and your family and what it is you are trying to achieve.
Experience
Our experience is that it is your site that is the main determining factor in the design of the floorplan, we look at the environmental factors that will need to be considered in conjunction with your design input. The build process can be daunting, our task is to assist you through the process and to achieve a result you are delighted with.

THE PROCESS
How does it work?
Visit
Visit the show home
Drop into the show home or give us a call. Have a chat and get to know our team and what we can do for you. If you’ve got a site, we’ll come check it out. If you’re comfortable with us we can arrange a meeting to establish your key drivers for the build, what inspires you and what the priorities are. Budget is a consideration at this stage so we don’t go developing a concept which you can’t quite stretch to.
Estimate
Design your home & budget
Once we’ve got a brief, we’ll pull a concept/discussion document together and get you to drop in to review. Once we’ve got that nailed down, we develop the elevations and details to provide you with an estimate to construct. It’s still early in the process but ultimately everyone has a budget and it’s important we keep this in mind and develop the plan accordingly.
We’ll be looking at the site in terms of covenants and planning rules in order to identify any issues which may trigger any resource consent application.
From time to time we’ll require a short form agreement and a deposit to be paid to cover either Geotech investigations and/or Engineering advice required on the site or proposed plan.
Acceptance
Acceptance of estimates / agreements
Once we’ve nailed down the estimate and it’s within the budget scope, we are in a position to sign off the agreement and specifications and get the working drawings completed.
Consent
Council consent
We’ll arrange the building consent application and any straightforward resource consent application if required.
Build
Build process
Ground works, floor, frames, roof, interior, finished. Getting underway, as the build progress develops, we will keep you informed of what is happening and making sure all decisions and final fit outs are followed up and confirmed.
Compliance
Compliance
Final code of compliance from the council, final sign off, hand over the keys and present to you your brand-new home.
Finished
Move in, live happily ever after
But it doesn’t end there, we stand behind our product so should any teething problems with your new home we’re never more than a phone call way.
