CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
DESIGN STAGE.
Once we have gathered the necessary information about your property, We will schedule a design meeting. During this stage, we will discuss your project budget, timeline, and design requirements.
After the preliminary plans are completed, you will have the chance to review and modify the structural and architectural features of your design.
We will work with you throughout the entire design stage to make your dream designs a reality.
TENDER & CONTRACT AGREEMENT
So you love your new home/addition/reovation design and want to move forward.
What’s next?
Jake prides himself on integrity, professionalism, and honesty. We work with you to design and present you with a quote that reflects the actual cost of your project.
All of our project estimates are based on industry-standard prices. Our commitment to transparency ensures you receive the fairest and most accurate quote for your project—without hidden costs or nasty surprises. Once you have reviewed your contract terms and tender price and are fully satisfied, we will finalise the contract agreement. Congratulations! You have now officially started your building journey.
Your building contract is finalised only AFTER: You thoroughly review your design and the detailed list of inclusions.
You pay our 10% Contract Signing Fee.
COUNCIL SUBMISSION
Once your building contract is finalised, Jake’s pre-construction team will submit your plans and associated documents to council for approval.
Since this stage may take a few months, we advise that you compile a list of your desired internal and external inclusions. We will refer you to our suppliers and manufacturers to help you finalise your “must-haves” list.
CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE
Once your building approval is received, the team will finalise plans and documents as per DA conditions. You will then be notified of any changes or additional statutory requirements. Once your plans are finalised, we will submit them to the Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) for final approvals and Construction Certificate (CC).
After we obtain the CC, you will be advised that we are ready to begin.
PREPARATION FOR CONSTRUCTION
SIT BACK, RELAX, AND WATCH YOUR DREAM HOME COME TO LIFE!
This is the official start of our construction phase.
Once we has received your ACC, Confirmation of Finance, and HOW, we will commence construction. Construction only begins after you have signed the building contract. To effectively manage your project, We separates your payments into several progress stages.
Payment is due after each construction phase—
You only pay once that stage is completed !
