Process

Start your dream home journey with us! Submit an inquiry, meet us to refine your vision, collaborate closely on a feasible plan and review a transparent proposal and costs breakdown. Once approved, we finalise the details in a contract, marking the beginning of your exciting construction adventure. Get ready to see your dream home come to life!

  • Step 1

    1.

    Enquiry Form

    It all starts with your initial inquiry. Fill out our form to kickstart our collaboration and determine if we're a good fit for your project.

    Step 3

  • Assess Constructability

    During the pre-construction phase, we assess the constructability of the project through site investigations and detailed analysis of the plans to identify any obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent errors, delays and extra costs.

    Step 4

  • Proposal & Costs

    Once the design is finalised, we provide you with a comprehensive proposal. This document breaks down what is included in the build and outlines all associated costs ensuring complete transparency.

    Step 5

  • Finalise & Begin

    With the proposal squared away, we proceed to draft a contract. Once the contract is signed, we lock in a start date for your dream home, marking the exciting beginning of the construction journey. Get ready for the fun part!

Passive

A Passive House, also known as a Passivhaus, is a highly energy-efficient building standard. It aims to create comfortable, eco-friendly homes with minimal energy use. Typically, a Passive House reduces heating and cooling energy needs by up to 90%, saving homeowners thousands of dollars yearly. Plus, it provides a healthier living space for your family. These homes also have a smaller carbon footprint, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a more sustainable future.

    Thermal Insulation

    Continuous insulation minimises heat loss, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature without relying on traditional systems.

    2

  • 1.

    Mechanical Ventilation

    Ensures fresh air circulation and efficient heat recovery, maintaining indoor air quality and comfort while minimising energy usage.
