How we work

Design first. Quote second.

Most builders quote first and design later. We think that is backwards. Here is what happens instead, in order.

Book the consult

The five-step process

01

Consult

A site visit or a call. We talk through the block, the brief and the budget, and whether we are the right builder for the job. No sales pitch; if we are not the right fit, we will say so.

Free. Usually one to two weeks to arrange.

02

Design

Before we quote, we design. Concept drawings developed with you, or with your architect, until the plan is right. This is a paid stage: $3,000, which covers the site measure, concept drawings and the work that makes the fixed price possible.

$3,000 · typically four to six weeks.

03

Plan

A detailed, itemised fixed-price proposal built from the drawings. Selections, allowances and exclusions written down, not implied. Approvals, engineering and a construction schedule are locked in here.

Fixed price · council approvals run in parallel.

04

Build

Our team on site with one point of contact. Regular walk-throughs, written updates and a schedule you can see. Variations only happen in writing and only with your approval.

Timeline set in the proposal.

05

Handover

Final inspection together, certificates in hand, keys in yours. We stay on through the defects period, so the relationship does not end at handover.

Defects period follows.

Why the design stage is paid

A quote is only as good as the drawing behind it

A free quote is priced off assumptions, and the assumptions become variations once you are on site. Paying for the concept stage means the drawings are done properly, the price is built from them, and what you sign is what gets built.

If you decide not to proceed, the drawings are yours to keep.
