To help us gauge a better understanding of your build before our first face to face consultation we will ask you a series of questions such as these.
Are there any easements on your property?
What is your budget?
When would you like to commence your project?
Do you plan on living in the building whilst the project takes place?
Are you wanting design and drafting?
Have you renovated or built before?
Do you have a copy of plans of your house?
Step 3.

Step 4.
Preliminary Documents and First stage Contract Signing
After discussing your project, you will be provided with a Preliminary Document pack. This will include a Price Guide tailored to your project that will be an essential aid in budgeting your project as accurately as possible. The Price Guide is based on the floor area (m2) of your new project, and is presented as a lump sum cost. Large provisional costs such as a Kitchen or Pool addition will be itemised, to help you consider the extent of your budget and your 'must-have' goals. In this way, our Price Guide enables you to select from varying levels of finish, tailored to your budget.
The Preliminary Document pack includes:
Price Guide,
Secured Build Date
ROC Guarantee and T&Cs
Examples and definitions of everything you need to know when building or renovating
An example of a progress payment schedule
List of our insurances
Authority to Proceed Form (ATP)
After assessing the Preliminary Documents and your experience so far, you will be asked to sign the The Authority to Proceed Form before Step 5 can commence. We encourage you to call us and discuss any questions or concerns - peace of mind is paramount while your dream comes together!
This process has been refined to provide you with transparency and an assurance of authenticity. We strive to create an open book approach to building and collaborate closely with our prospective and engaged clients.
Step 5.
Design and drafting concepts
Whether it’s an internal renovation, extension or new build, a concept is the perfect place to start to help visualise what’s possible.
Onsite Drafting Consulting
Floor Plan
Elevations
3D (optional)
We like to take this opportunity to invite our Certifier, Electrician and Plumber to site to take a closer look and asses the condition and placement of some of your most crucial services such as easements, sewer, and power locations.
Step 6.
Finalisation of Design and Engineering
Once the Concept has been approved, we then send it to our external consultants for review. External Consultants include Engineers, Mechanical engineers, Energy Efficiency, Landscape architect and town planning if required.
Step 7.
Choosing your finishes and selections
Possibly the most exciting part of a project although just as daunting is choosing your finishes and selections. These alone will set your build apart and individualise the space you are creating.
We are here to make this experience as smooth and lux as possible.
You will be invited to a design consult with some of our local suppliers where you can take the time to feel and touch some of the pieces to go into your home as well as have access to some of the most wanted selections in the country through our carefully prepared collaborations every selection you ever dreamed of is now available and accessible here.

Step 9.
Pre-Construction
Finalisation of selections and finishes is the key to ensuring an efficient build and minimising any unforeseen financial costs or time delays along the way.
Once these details are finalised we can now prepare and sign the Building Contract in the contract is a fixed build price, progress payment schedule and a table outlining any inclusions, exclusions or specific special conditions already approved and agreed by both parties. The Building Contract also stimulates any Prime Cost or Provisional Sums that may be included in the build.
The next part of pre-construction is gathering and preparing the building permit, this includes obtaining Residential Building Cover better known as fidelity insurance under Master Builders NT
Step 10.
Construction commences
During the construction process you will be invited to several meetings on site to inspect and watch your build become a reality.
Step 11.
Hand over and aftercare
Towards the end of the project, we begin to undertake our thorough defecting process to ensure your home is faultless.
Richard himself will undertake this process with his fastidious attention to detail.
