The construction process

Now we have all the final plans and materials selected we can commence the construction of your new home.

A general guide to the process is as follows;

1. Your new home is logged into our "Job Start" tracking system and a file is prepared for the supervisor detailing the location, plans, addenda and all orders. You are also appointed a Client Liaison Officer who will handle all queries etc that you have.



2. Our Construction Manager arranges for the repeg of the site by a surveyor, the earthworks to be completed, the prelay of initial plumbing and the pouring of the footings and slab. Now it starts to get exciting as you can see some action!!. This is when the first progress payment is made for SLAB DOWN.



3. The supervisor will then commence the construction of your new home in the following stages;
   • Brickwork to PLATE HEIGHT stage - the second progress payment stage
   • Roof timber
   • Roof plumbing
   • Plumbing & electrical tubing and prelay
   • Roof Cover being tiles or colorbond
   • First coat of cement render inside called "float" coat
   • Ceilings are installed
   • White plaster "set" coat is applied to the walls
   • Doors and window glazing installed and "LOCK-UP" stage - the third progress payment
   • Internal fixing (doors, shelves etc) and cupboards are installed
   • Internal plumbing with sinks, bath, basin, trough etc
   • Tiling to bathroom / ensuite
   • Painting - internal (not walls unless specified) and external
   • Plumber to install taps and electrician to install switches and light points
   • Garage floor (hardstand) and paving completed
4. You now conduct an inspection of the home with the supervisor in a Practical Completion Inspection "PCI" where you inspect your new home. Your new home is now at PRACTICAL COMPLETION. We will have a hand-over meeting where you will make the final payment and we will give you the keys and associated paperwork, warranties, advise of the 120 day maintenance period etc.

Congratulations on your new home!
