The 10 Steps to Designing and Building your Home
15.04 Diposting oleh darksabda
1. The land
Maximising the investment you have made in your land, not only as a financial investment but as an emotional investment is important. You'll want to build a home that will make best use of your land and its aspect to enhance your lifestyle. Our design consultant will visit the site with you to ensure that the design incorporates what you want and makes best use of the attributes
of the site.
2. The plan
You have decided to build. You may know exactly what you want or you may just have some ideas. The first step is it to turn these ideas into a concept plan. Sit down with one of our design consultants and discuss these ideas.
Look at designs and photographs of homes we have built. These will help clarify what you like and what you want in your new home.
3. The investment
At this stage you'll have a draft plan. Go through our inclusions brochure and decide what you'd like. Once you have done that our consultant will be able to give you an estimate of the investment you'll be making in your new home.
4. Soil test and contour survey
The next step is obtaining an engineers survey of the site. This is a legal requirement and it is essential safeguard in ensuring that your home is built with proper foundations and on the correct position on the site. This is also the point where we require a deposit to cover these costs. Once the design consultant has this information he can finalise the design with you and provide a base price with standard inclusions.
5. The final price quotation
At this stage we can give you a quote which includes all the details. You'll need to go through this thoroughly with the consultant to make sure that you are happy that it's exactly what you want. With this signed off it's time to turn your dream into a reality-and that begins with signing the contract and paying the balance of the deposit. With that paid can get on with preparing the building permit applications and all the paper work that's involved to get the plans approved.
6. Colour and finish selection
Now it is time to meet with our colour consultant who will assist you in colour selection and those final touches which will your turn a house into a home. Our inclusions brochure is a great start here and it's worth browsing through it before your free appointment with our colour consultant. And in the meeting you'll see sample finishes too-so much easier when you can see the real thing.
7. Beginning the build
This is your dream home-it can't be thrown up in a few weeks from mass produced elements knocked up offsite and still maintain the quality you want. So we'll agree with you on a reasonable time to build your home without compromising quality. With all the paperwork done we'll begin the preplanning and within a few short weeks construction will begin..
8. During the build
It's hard to keep away from the building site while your home is being built! You are encouraged to visit the site on a regular basis however, it is standard practice to be accompanied by your site supervisor due to safety requirements. You'll meet the building Supervisor at the beginning and he will keep you up to date on the progress and explain each stage.
9. Completion
When everything is complete and when we have thoroughly pre inspected the house it will be time to hand over the keys. But before we do that we'll accompany you on your own inspection to make absolutely sure that the home we have designed for you has been built as promised.
10. Moving in
You've moved in but we still want to make sure that our promise to you to build the home you want is kept. The six month maintenance period is your opportunity to make sure that we have kept our promise and a further six year structural guarantee.
