Home / New homes
Whether you've bought land or you're replacing an older house, we design and price around what makes your block different: orientation, soil, slope, frontage and council requirements.
The house can be the same. The site work, approvals and program are not.
If you already have drawings from an architect or building designer, we'll price and build to them. If you're starting with a brief, we'll work with you and our design partners to develop plans for your site.
Site costs are where new-home budgets most often go wrong. Rather than a standard allowance, we investigate your block and include what it actually needs.
If something can't be known until work starts, such as rock or old footings below ground, we'll say so in the quote and explain how it would be priced.
We build in double brick and framed construction. Each affects cost, program length, thermal performance and finishes, so we'll talk through the trade-offs for your design before you choose.
It depends on the size and complexity of the design, the approvals your lot needs, and trade and material availability at the time. We'll give you a program for your specific home with the quote, and update it if anything changes.
The house as documented, the site costs identified from our investigations, and the reports and approvals needed for a building permit. Anything excluded is listed in writing, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
Yes. Each change is a variation: we price it, and it's written, dated and signed by both of us before the work is done. Changes before the permit is lodged are usually simpler and cheaper than changes during construction.
Talk to your lender early. Construction loans are paid in stages, and lenders usually want the signed contract, plans and specifications before final approval. We'll provide those documents when they're ready.
We build on land you already own or are in the process of buying. If you're still looking, we're happy to look at a lot with you before you buy and point out anything that could add to build costs.
Send us the address and we'll talk through what it means for your build.
