Residential

New residential builds are an exciting undertaking. We know the process from the ground up and can walk you through the steps to make your dream home a reality.

New Homes

We'll work closely with you to achieve your vision for a brand-new home.

A custom home is your opportunity to bring your lifestyle dreams to reality. Whether you already have a plan in mind or you’re simply exploring possibilities, we have the inside advice and expertise to make your perfect home within reach.

Phases of Building a New Home

Phase One: Design & Approvals

The first stage is one of the most exciting and most important of all! We’ll work closely with you, your designer and your architect to ensure your dreams, plans and budget align.

Phase Two: Foundations & Utilities

Once the site preparation is complete, the footprint of your new home will start to take shape as we form and pour the foundations. Next comes services like gas, hydro, sewer and water.

Phase Three: Framing

The bones of the house go up as the framing rises. Soon you’ll be able to walk through the rooms and begin to get a sense of the space.

Phase Four: Roofing & Siding

Once this stage is complete your new home is at ‘lock-up’. Doors and windows are installed and your brand-new property is now water-tight.

Phase Five: Insulation & Drywall

This is always an exciting stage! Your space starts to look less like a construction-zone and more like a home. You’ll start to get a good feel for the size and shape of each room.

Phase Six: Kitchen & Bathroom

Two of the most important rooms in your new house take shape, including the heart of the home, the kitchen and the bathroom.

Phase Seven: Exteriors & Landscaping

For the finishing touches, we’ll complete everything from decks, fences, footpaths and driveways to landscaping so your home is truly a home.

Phase Eight: Final Inspection & Handover

Finally, we’ll meet on-site for the last inspection, hand over the keys and celebrate your brand-new home.
