CONSENT TO CONSTRUCTION
THE NEXT 16 WEEKS*
You’ve got the scary bit out of the way – now let’s have some fun. It’s time to start choosing colours, deciding on a kitchen, selecting a benchtop and getting samples that you’ll probably end up carrying in your handbag or glove box for the next few months.
We won’t leave you to wander the aisles of a hardware store aimlessly – we’ll connect you with people and companies we know and trust, companies we’ve worked with for years. They’ll make the mind-boggling array of design and fitting choices fun and, dare we say it, easy and enjoyable.
You’ll meet with the electrician to finalise your electrical plan, determining where you want lights, power, switches and even your home entertainment system. These details are important and need to be nailed down early on.
Alabaster, eggshell, snow or pearl? Don’t fret – we also have colour consultants or interior designers depending on your needs, who will help you at this stage of the process, helping you make your choice of colours and finishes for the interior and exterior of your new home.
While you do the fun stuff, we’ll get into the structural engineering plans, deal with Council, get consents and hammer out all the little details – this is the stuff we revel in. Done right, these are the things that truly create a house that’s built to last and which stands out from others.
One of the benefits from earning our spot in councils qualified partnership program is being able to lodge and manage all of our consents online – yep, we’re old-school craftspeople, but we’re not shy when it comes to embracing technology that speeds up the paperwork.
Once your consents have been approved, we will arrange a pre-construction handover meeting where you will meet your Quantity Surveyor (QS) and Project Manager. It’s here we discuss your consented plans, finalise the site works and costs, and then we’re good to go.
