FAQ
Questions we get asked
Straight answers on pricing, timing and how a Sutton build runs. Anything missing, call us.
Ask a questionDo you charge for a quote?
We do not charge for the first conversation or the site visit. We do charge for the concept-design stage - $3,000 - because that is where the drawings are produced that make a fixed price possible. If you do not proceed, the drawings are yours.
Why design before pricing?
A price without a drawing is a guess, and guesses become variations on site. Designing first means the fixed price is built from your plan, so what you sign is what gets built.
Is your price really fixed?
Yes. The proposal itemises selections, allowances and exclusions. Anything outside it is a variation, in writing, with your approval, before it happens.
Can I use my own architect or designer?
Yes. We regularly work from an architect’s drawings and can join the process at concept stage so buildability and cost are considered early.
Where do you build?
Across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie and Hervey Bay, including the hinterland.
How long does a new home take?
Concept design is typically four to six weeks. Approvals depend on council. Construction for a custom home is usually nine to fourteen months and is fixed in the proposal.
Do you do knockdown rebuilds?
Yes, as one job: feasibility, demolition, approvals and the new build under a single contract and one point of contact.
Can you handle insurance work?
Yes. We prepare the scope of works, deal directly with your insurer and assessor, and rebuild to the standard the policy requires.
Are you licensed and insured?
QBCC Licence 1167165. Every build carries the statutory home-warranty insurance and our own contract-works and public-liability cover.
