New build project types

Custom new homes

Built exactly to your plans — no shortcuts, no substitutions without your sign-off.

Knockdown-rebuild

We manage demolition, asbestos removal, services reconnection and council approvals.

Dual occupancy

Two homes on one block — we handle subdivision or strata, services and Building Code compliance.

Investment properties

Layouts that maximise return, efficient builds to minimise holding costs, QS depreciation schedules.

Sloping & challenging sites

Steep blocks, narrow lots, bushfire zones — retaining walls, split-levels, piers and BAL-rated construction.

Architect-designed homes

Experienced in translating high-spec architectural drawings into built reality, on time and on budget.

The new build process

  1. Initial consultation & feasibility

    We visit your block, discuss budget, give indicative costs and flag site constraints.

  2. Design & documentation

    Your designer produces the drawings; we review for buildability and cost.

  3. Fixed-price contract

    Detailed HIA fixed-price contract with all inclusions, exclusions and a stage-based payment schedule.

  4. Council & certifier approvals

    We lodge the Construction Certificate and coordinate BASIX, engineering and specialist reports.

  5. Construction

    Slab to finishes: 6–9 months single-storey, 9–14 months two-storey. Weekly photo updates and a standing invitation to walk the site.

  6. Practical Completion & handover

    Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, warranties and manuals handed over. You move in.

New build FAQs

Do I need to own the land before getting a quote?

No — we quote indicatively and can review land before you buy.

Can I use my own architect or designer?

Yes — any qualified architect or draftsperson, or we can recommend one.

How long does a new build take from signing the contract?

Typically 10–16 months contract-to-keys (approvals 4–12 weeks, construction 6–14 months). Detailed program before you sign.

What's included in the fixed-price contract?

Everything on the plans and specifications. Exclusions are clearly listed — typically land, design and council fees, connections, rock excavation and landscaping.

Can I make changes once construction starts?

Yes, via written variation. Minor changes are easy; structural ones can delay and need re-certification.

Do you offer finance or progress payment plans?

No direct finance, but we work with most banks and brokers. Standard stage payments: slab, frame, lock-up, fixing, practical completion.

What warranties do I receive?

HBC insurance, 6-year structural and 2-year non-structural warranties, plus a 12-month maintenance period.
