Building a new home can be daunting. We have simplified the steps below with some helpful information on a typical new home build for the Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, and Northern Rivers areas.
- First Contact - Say Hello, whether you find us via the website, social media, or through a friend, we will discuss your services and help you understand the process and what to expect when working with us.
- On Site Assessment - We will visit your site and do an initial site assessment. We will discuss your budget, building requirements, and your unique vision and goals. From here, we can then look to engage a surveyor to prepare a site survey that will help us prepare your initial plans.
- Design Meeting - This is where we start designing your dream. In this meeting, we will work through all your wants and needs in your home. We will discuss rooflines, window positions, home placement on your block, and many other things.
- Estimate - We can sit down and walk through your estimate so you can have a good understanding of what is included in your build. Once you're happy and the estimate has been approved by you, we then move to the next step.
- Contract - We will walk you through the contract process and help you fully understand the contract and accompanying documents before you sign.
- Selections Meeting - Personalize your home! Now is the time to choose your materials and finishes for your new home. We work through cladding types, tiles, kitchen finishes and layout, paint colors, and much more.
- Approvals - We work with your council/private certifier and manage the entire approval process on your behalf. This process timeline can vary greatly depending on the type of build, complexity of build, and workload of council/certifier. It can vary somewhere between 3 months to 12 months.
- Time to Build - The time has come to get started. You can be assured that we will keep you informed throughout the entire process of your build. You can request a walkthrough of your build at any time - just schedule a time with Ash, who is always available via phone. You can also keep an eye on your build through our online portal, where communication can happen, storage of any important documents or information may be required, and, more importantly, regular photos will be uploaded to the portal weekly so you can view them at your leisure.
