Before you call
What the first conversation actually covers
It is not a sales meeting. Forty minutes, on site or over coffee, to work out whether the project is viable and whether we are the right builder for it. Free, and no obligation either way.
Book the first conversationWhat we will ask you
Four things, and none of them need to be final
Come with whatever you have. A block address and a Pinterest board is enough. Architect's drawings are a bonus, not a requirement.
The block
Where it is, the slope, the orientation, what the council and any overlays are likely to say. If you do not own it yet, we will tell you what to look for before you sign.
How you want to live
Who lives there, how you entertain, whether the kids are leaving or the parents are moving in. This shapes the design more than a room count does.
The budget, honestly
A range is fine. We will tell you straight what that range buys on your block, and where it does not stretch, before anyone draws anything.
Timing
When you would like to be living in it. We work backwards from there through approvals, design and the build itself, and tell you whether it is realistic.
What you leave with
A straight answer, not a brochure
- Whether the project is viable on that block, at that budget.
- The approvals and site conditions likely to matter, and roughly what they cost in time.
- Whether we are the right builder for it. If we are not, we will say so and suggest who might be.
- If it is a fit, what the $3,000 concept stage includes and when it could start. No pressure to decide on the day.
Where
On your block if you have one. Otherwise our office, or a cafe near you.
Who
A Sutton builder, the person who would run your job, not a sales representative.
Cost
Nothing. The first paid step is the concept stage, and only if you choose to go ahead.
