Process
We believe great builds come from clear communication and genuine partnership. Our structured approach keeps you informed at every stage.
From initial consultation through to handover, so you can trust the process and enjoy watching your home come to life.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive meeting, either in our office or on-site, to gain a deep understanding of your vision, lifestyle needs, and design ideas. This is where we discuss your budget openly and explore how we can bring your dream home to life. We take the time to understand not just what you want to build, but how you want to live in the space.
Design
For clients seeking architectural input, we offer seamless collaboration with our network of trusted architects who understand our building methods and quality standards. If you already have plans prepared, we'll review them thoroughly and move directly to the next stage, ensuring buildability and identifying any potential improvements early in the process.
Build Estimate
Once the design is finalised, including all engineering details and specifications, we provide a comprehensive build estimate that breaks down each phase of the construction process. This detailed estimate gives you complete transparency on costs and helps you understand exactly what's involved in bringing your project to life.
Contract Selection
We offer two contract options to suit different needs and banking requirements:
*Fixed Price Contract: Some banks require this approach, providing upfront cost certainty for the entire project.
*Cost Plus Contract: Our preferred method offering greater flexibility and transparency, allowing you to closely monitor spending while adapting to changes.
This approach lets us collaborate on selecting the best materials within your budget and provides complete visibility into where every dollar is spent.
Council Approval & Permit Procurement
Navigating council approvals and permits can be complex and time-consuming. Our experienced team handles this entire process on your behalf, working closely with town planners, certifiers, and council authorities to ensure full compliance. We manage all the paperwork, submissions, and follow-ups, keeping you informed while removing the stress from your shoulders.
Construction Commencement
With approvals in place, we're ready for the exciting part—building your home. From day one, you'll receive real-time updates through our Buildertrend project management app, including detailed build schedules, daily site logs, and photo updates. This transparency ensures you're always in the loop and can watch your home take shape, even when you can't be on-site.
Project Management
Throughout construction, you'll have a dedicated Foreman, skilled carpentry team and the full support of Rhys and our Client Liaison. who oversee every aspect of your build. Together, they oversee every stage of construction, working closely with you to ensure clear communication, seamless coordination, and complete understanding of every detail.
Rhys remains hands-on throughout the process, collaborating with the team and offering his expertise on materials, methods, and problem-solving to ensure we achieve results that exceed expectations.
Completion, Certification & Handover
As construction nears completion, we handle all final inspections and promptly apply for your Occupation Certificate. We prepare for a smooth, comprehensive handover where we walk you through every aspect of your new home. This is the exciting moment when your vision becomes reality and you receive the keys to your beautifully crafted home.
Professional Photography
We take immense pride in our craftsmanship and the homes we create. With your permission, we arrange for professional photographers to capture the beauty, sophistication, and attention to detail of your completed home. These images preserve the memories of your building journey and showcase the quality that defines Avid's work.
