Initial Meeting

People working at a round table with laptops, notebooks, a plant, and coffee cups on a sunny day.

We’ll arrange a meeting to answer your questions and gather the information needed to decide whether to proceed with the design process.

Deposit

Hands holding a payment terminal and a credit card on a white wooden table surrounded by coffee, almonds, a cake, and a green plant.

To proceed, we require a deposit to visit the site, assess utility requirements, and finalize your project quote and the associated construction contract.

Project Approval

Person writing on a piece of paper with a black pen, wearing a light-colored striped shirt.

After our on-site meeting and approval of the final quote and a further deposit equal to 20% of the proposed build cost.

We then proceed with submitting the required permit applications to the Municipality.

Time To Build!

Person using a hand-held circular saw to cut through a piece of wood, with sawdust flying.

Once your permit is approved, a further 30% of the build cost is required to commence construction with a further payment schedule throughout the construction period.

Depending on site servicing and construction needs, the build typically takes 6–8 weeks from groundbreaking to handover.
