The Building Process

With the help of our experienced Consultants, you will be assisted in choosing the floor plan of your dreams, or we can design a home especially for the individual lifestyle you deserve. Obligation free!

Our Consultant will visit your land and offer advice which will assist you in refining your dream home. 

Once the design and features you require are decided on, it’s time to have a Contour Survey carried out to ascertain accurately the extent of cut/fill requirements, connection points for power supply, storm water discharge and site clearing etc.  It is at this point also that an Engineer is to be commissioned to carry out sub-surface investigations to determine the correct slab/footing system required for the site.  While these inspections are taking place, our drafting room will be preparing the working drawings.  A small outlay is required to enable us to carry out these services. 

Once all the reports, investigations and plans are drawn, we will dispatch to you, confirmation of the outcome of each report, along with a copy of your plans and the specifications for your perusal. 

Once you are 100% satisfied with the plans and specifications, we will prepare the standard Queensland Master Builders Association Building Contract for authorisation.  At this stage we require the balance of the QMBA recommended 5% deposit to cover submission of plans to Council for building approval.

Building approvals can range from 2 weeks to 6 weeks, depending on the shire.  During this time, we ask that you arrange with our experienced Colour Consultant to carry out your colour selections at our Head Office at 256 Nicklin Way, Kawana Waters, Sunshine Coast. We have displays of  bricks, roof tiles, taps, towel rails, toilet suites and window furnishings to name a few.  You do not have to spend your valuable spare time driving around showrooms and stores.  We have the majority of items here for you to peruse. 

When the approved plans are received, finance documentation approved, comprehensive construction insurances put in place and colour selections completed, commencement of construction would normally begin within 5 – 10 working days.

You will be kept informed during the construction and we encourage you to liaise with both the Construction Manager and Building Supervisor on a regular basis throughout construction. 

Nearing completion, you will be advised the date of handover to enable you to organise furniture removalist etc.  Prior to handover, for your peace of mind, a quality check will be carried out to ensure all is to our high standard of finish and workmanship.  At handover, your Building Supervisor will walk through your home with you to ensure you are satisfied with the final product.  

It's all part of the service...
