Concept through to a planning submission, with two formal reviews where you choose between fully drawn options.
Technical & tender Months 6–11
The construction package is drawn and issued, contractors are invited, and we help you read the returns.

Fortnightly inspections, a single point of contact, and the as-built set delivered with the keys.
Asked Before Every Appointment
Can I visit a builder model home without my agent?
Builders require your broker to be registered on your very first visit or contact. Always let us register you in advance so your representation is preserved.
Do new homes really need independent inspections?
Yes! Municipal code inspections only check bare minimums. Independent inspections routinely catch wiring issues, duct leaks, and plumbing errors before walls are closed.
