Building And Renovating Shouldn’t Be So Hard
It’s supposed to be exciting. A time when you finally get to choose exactly what you want -- the layout, features, and finishes that make a house feel like your home. When you get to enjoy the fruits of years of dreams and plans.
Yet sadly, too many people find building and renovating a stressful time of:
This doesn’t need to be your experience. Because we’ve created a detailed process to ensure you get the exact one-of-a-kind home or renovation you want – on time and on budget.
Initial Conversation
Whether you’re ready to build/renovate or just considering your options, we’d love to help you. Perhaps you have specific questions. Or maybe you’re unsure about what you want and the best way to go about it. We’ve built and renovated hundreds of homes over the past 7 years and will be glad to share our expertise and experience – 100% free and without obligation.
Site Assessment And Design Discovery
One of the keys to a successful build or renovation is matching the design to the block of land or existing home. We do this with a comprehensive site assessment that includes analysis of orientation, slope, soil, surrounding structures and more. With this foundational understanding, we take you through our Design Discovery Process which helps you clarify your ideas into a Project Brief. We will guide you through this process, explaining all your options (e.g. timber, double brick, concrete floor, scope of work etc.) based on the site assessment. And we will provide an honest price guide so you can plan with certainty.
Concept Design And Lifesize Walkthrough
Our experienced Designer will help you refine your ideas into a Concept Plan complete with specifications, finishes, and initial inclusions. Your price guide will be adjusted into a firmer estimate. And you will receive floor plans, elevations, and 3D perspectives to consider. But don’t worry – you won’t have to make final decisions based on these paper plans. We’ll project them in real size onto the floor of Lifesize Plans’ warehouse so you can ‘walk through’ your finished home to double check everything is just right. Get a feel for the flow, see how your furniture will fit, and see where everything is set to go. Make changes in real time to compare options.
Preliminary Works and Planning
This is where we put your ideas into a plan to make them happen. Over the next 60 days we will arrange approvals, create construction drawings, structural design & engineering and energy assessments, help you finalise your selections (with our interior designer), and schedule every aspect of your build or renovation to ensure everything happens smoothly and on time. With your confirmation of the schedule and fixed price agreement, it’s time to start building.
Build
From siteworks to the slab, walls, roof, cabinetry, tiling and all the way through to the final product, every step is carried out by exceptional tradespeople and all work is supervised and double-checked to ensure our premium standards are exceeded. Our team will respect your neighbours by keeping noise to a minimum and maintaining a tidy, safe site. You can relax as you watch your home appear before your very eyes. Naturally, if you have questions, you can talk with Adam (the owner) at any time.
What’s more, you’ll also receive your very own login to our Project Management Portal allowing you to follow along with every step of the construction of your home.

Before you receive your keys, we will have performed rigorous quality checks to ensure everything is perfect (including all lights, power outlets, appliances, hot water, automation – everything). We’ll inspect all finishes to ensure there are no blemishes. And we will provide you with your home owner manual and training, so you feel at home straight away. We will return for another quality control check in 30 days and fine tune anything that needs attention. And we will continue to support you for 12 months (4 full seasons) to ensure everything remains perfect. No problem is too small to mention to us.
