Step 1

Finding and purchasing the correct block of land It is a good idea to contact us to help you decide if the block is suitable for your preferred house design. The slope of the land and the soil type are important factors to consider, however we specialize in these type of blocks and have a number of plans to meet required specifications.

Choosing the design and floor plan We will discuss your initial requirements and specifications to produce options for your building project. Choose from a range of plans that express street appeal and blend internal design with functionality. However, if you have your own requirements and ideas, we would be pleased to put you in touch with our drafting services. A site plan, floor plan and elevation will be supplied.

Signing of contract By this time, if you are satisfied with our building proposal, a Standard Master Builders Building Contract will be prepared ready for you to sign. This contract requires a 5% deposit of the contract amount to commence the building of your new home. You will need to have arranged this prior with your financier, and have the remainder of your finances approved.
