Reach Out

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

After our on-site meeting, we will confirm the final build cost based on the necessary utility work to service your new Additional Rental Unit.

At that time, we will require approval of the final quote and a further deposit equal to 20% of the proposed build cost.

Once you approve and we receive the deposit, we will proceed with submitting the required permit applications to the Municipality.

Time To Build!

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.
