Can You Build on Sloping blocks?
Yes – if your land slopes, we can still build on it. We have extensive experience in sloping block builds, and have home designs that can be built on sloping blocks. However, would need to make an assessment to ensure we could build on your block.

What Contract document is used?
We do not write our own contracts – we use the HIA (Housing Industry Association) New Home Construction Contract. This is an industry contract document that complies with the Domestic Building Contracts Act 2000.

What is a Variation?
A variation is a request to change an item in your contract that has been agreed to by us in writing. Your contract will specify in detail how variations are to be dealt with.

What are Inclusions?
Inclusions are the fixtures, fittings and finishes that are included in a specific price range of your new home. There are many styles of inclusions, and as we are custom builders, you can choose any fittings, fixtures and finishes that are available. It is all in your hands, and we will guide you through that process. We have an experienced design team that can help meet your lifestyle and budget.

What are the Time Frames for Building Completion?
Each building is different and times can vary to complete. As a guideline, a 4 storey house typically takes 15 weeks to complete. Please bear in mind that weather can affect the time taken to complete a build.

Do You Build Swimming Pools?
Swimming pools are usually built before we start on site or as soon as we excavate. We generally allow up to three weeks to install your pool. If you plan to build a pool after you move in, you will need to let us know the exact location so we can realign services and ensure the slab is designed accordingly. There may be additional charges.
