Turning a dream into your home

We believe that great design evokes an emotional response and connection, and that’s what we set out to achieve.

Not only with our home designs, but the whole process of turning a dream into a house, and a house into a home. It’s about combining new thinking with a deep understanding of function and how people live now and into the future. It’s a process grounded in quality, craftsmanship and enduring value, designed to create not just beautiful homes, but considered spaces with lasting potential.

But above all, it’s about creating a memorable experience for our customers.

It’s what drives us, and we hope it inspires you.

1 Feasibility assessment on your block

We explore how to maximise the development potential of your land. Your Developments Consultant understands local government regulations and will balance these with your goals to illustrate what’s possible.

2 External planning assessment

We will work with all relevant external parties, including local council, arborists, independent planners or asset owners, to ensure your redevelopment proposal complies and has the best possible chance of a quick approval.

3 Home selection and personalisation

Choose the facade that best works for you and personalise your floorplan to meet your lifestyle requirements and that of the relevant planning scheme. Work with your Developments Consultant on the selections and finishes you desire.

4 Preliminary Works Contract

Your Developments Consultant will prepare a detailed itemised quote for your development that reflects the level of finish you have selected, any structural changes and your site and drainage costs. At this stage, the initial deposit is paid and we can move forward with ordering the supporting documents we need to prepare your town planning application and contract.

5 Foundation data

We will order all relevant character surveys, soil tests, arborists reports, preliminary engineering.

6 Complete your external colour selection appointment

Complete all your external colour selections (required for the town planning permit) and start preparations for your internal colour selection appointment.

We will use the foundation data and prepare both your town planning drawings and HIA contracts.

8 Signing of HIA contracts

You will meet your Project Manager who will take you through the entire journey both pre-construction and construction. Having one point of contact who fully understands the history and details of your project is crucial to facilitating a smooth journey.

9 The town planning permit

Your Project Manager will work with our external planning partners to prepare the town planning application and achieve approval. This is a two part process. We need to achieve the town planning permit first and then meet the conditions of the permit and get your development plans stamped and approved.

10 Internal selections

Once the council approvals are obtained, it’s time to personalise your home. Your Interior Designer will take you through our colour selection centre. It’s important to ensure the level of finish is appropriate for your area to ensure the best possible resale or rental yield.

11 Demolition

Once we have confirmation that the house is vacant, we will commence the abolishment of services and request a demolition permit. We will then demolish your old home, have an underground power pit installed and cap the existing sewer point.

12 Final engineering

Final construction drawings will be completed as soon as we have the final engineering and energy rating.

13 Build permit and ordering materials

The building permit will be obtained and materials ordered ready for the construction of your new home to commence.
