Residential

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