From design to handover.
Eight thoughtful stages. Each one bringing your home closer to reality. Tap any stage to learn what’s involved and what to expect.
Initial concept conversations, site assessment and signed agreement.
Owner: Sarah Chen, Design Manager
Three design iterations, two on-site walkthroughs, and final design sign-off.
Owner: Marcus Lai, Senior Designer
Detailed costings, supplier confirmations, and fixed-price contract agreement.
Owner: Jonathan Reeves, Estimating Lead
Detailed construction drawings are being prepared. This is where every measurement, fixture and material specification is documented for the build team.
Owner: Priya Anand, Documentation Coordinator
What we need from you: Final tile and tapware selections (due by 28 May).
Structural engineering, energy ratings, and building permit lodgement with council.
Site preparation, scheduling, trades confirmation, and pre-start meeting.
Slab, frame, lock-up, fix-out and finishing. Fortnightly progress updates with photos.
Pre-handover walkthrough, defect resolution, owner orientation and your keys.
Refining every detail.
Your working drawings are the master document that guides every trade on site. We’re translating your design into precise specifications: every joinery dimension, every electrical outlet, every fixture height.
Priya, your Documentation Coordinator, is leading this stage. She’ll be in touch this week with one final round of selection confirmations.

Sales & Concept
Our first conversations about your home — site, lifestyle, aspirations and budget. We assessed your block for orientation, slope and views, and translated your brief into an initial concept direction.
Design Development
Three rounds of refinement — adjusting layout, refining flow, sharpening the architectural language. Two on-site walkthroughs to verify proportions and connection to the land. Concluded with formal design sign-off.
Estimating
Detailed quantity surveying, supplier confirmations and trade pricing. We presented a fully itemised fixed-price contract with no hidden inclusions or vague allowances.
Working Drawings
The master document for your build. Every dimension, fixture height, electrical position, finish and material is being precisely documented for the trades who’ll build your home. This is where the design becomes buildable.
What’s needed from you: Final tile and tapware selections by 28 May. Marcus has prepared curated options to review at your selections walkthrough.
Engineering & Permits
Structural engineering certifications, energy efficiency assessment, soil testing and building permit lodgement with the City of Bayside. We manage the entire process and keep you informed at each milestone.
Pre-Construction
Site preparation, trades scheduling, materials ordering and your pre-start meeting with the site supervisor. You’ll meet the person responsible for your home’s construction and receive your detailed build timeline.
Construction
Slab, frame, lock-up, fix-out and finishing. You’ll receive a fortnightly site update with photographs, milestone confirmations and any decisions still needed. Site visits welcome by appointment with your supervisor.
Handover
Pre-handover inspection together, defect identification and resolution, owner orientation walkthrough, warranty handover pack — and finally, your keys. Your dedicated aftercare contact joins from this point forward.
