I’ve never built before, where do I start?
Start by giving us a call, with 30 years of experience in the building industry. You can trust us to give you the best advice and to guide you through the entire building process.
At what stage do I involve a builder?
It always pays to get your builder involved early. Simple advice from a Certified Builder when making critical decisions like choosing a section, architectural style, plans and building materials can save a lot of hassle later on.

Are the guarantees transferable if I sell my home?
Yes, your guarantee can generally be transferred to the new homeowner. Having the guarantee gives the buyer peace of mind and will help to sell your home.
How can I keep the building project within my budget?
We recommend entering into a Fixed Price Building Contract which will enable you to know exactly what the cost will be throughout your project.
How do we pay for the building project?
You pay on a progress payment system as detailed in your building agreement. One advantage of Fixed Price Building Contract is you only need to make payments to one company and payments are made at specific stages of the project. When you receive a written contract quote, we will provide you with a payment schedule and a construction schedule, so you know what to expect and when to expect it.
Can I make changes during the building project?
We welcome you to make any changes you would like to enhance your home. Any requests by yourselves incurring extra labour and/or material costs will be treated as a variation to the contract. All variations will be costed and presented to you for approval, authorizing the builder to carry out these changes before any such works can be started.
Will the construction site be safe?
We will always endeavor to keep our construction sites safe and clean. We have onsite Safety Management Systems in place to keep this process up to date.
