2. Making it yours

Personalisation breathes life into your chosen house design, transforming it into a reflection of your individual style and functional needs. Our Design Hub stands ready to fine-tune your floor plan, ensuring your home embodies the unique essence of your family's lifestyle. Although navigating our vast selection of designs, facades, inclusions, and structural options often reveals the perfect match, we welcome the opportunity to tailor your home further. Remember, while custom changes unlock endless possibilities, they also introduce cost and time considerations—invest wisely in modifications that genuinely make your house a home.

3. Fine tuning your file

With your dream home taking shape, the Preliminary Agreement and Sales Estimate crystallise your vision into actionable plans, marking the commitment to your beautiful Elevate or Elite home. For those with titled land, we advance towards initial site work, and now is the time to provide your evidence of title to land, finance approval and signed mortgage documents, setting the stage for a smooth transition to construction. Your New Home Specialist will then connect you with your dedicated Customer Relationship Coordinator, ensuring a seamless flow through each subsequent phase. As we edge closer to bringing your dream to life, ensuring all documentation, such as land title and finance approval, is in order propels us forward to the next step.

4. The finishing touches

As your journey progresses, we venture beyond blueprints into the realm of tangible choices that define the character of your home. This is a great time to visit nearby display centres to get a feel for what kind of interior design style you like. From honing your Sales Estimate to selecting the final touches in our Gallery, every step is an opportunity to infuse your personal style into your home. These crucial decisions lay the groundwork for your Building Contract, encapsulating every detail of your future abode. Next, you’ll either sit down with our team or sign-off electronically on every detail in your Simonds and Building Contracts. Lastly, once your approved finance, building permits and land title are finalised we can progress onto the next stage and go to site.

5. Construction begins!

The construction of your home is a journey marked by milestones, from laying the slab to the final touches of the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI). Your dedicated Site Supervisor ensures each phase meets our stringent quality standards, inviting you to see your home in-person at five key building milestones. Before we head to site, it’s important that you clear your block of land of any trees, plants, rubbish and debris (both above and below ground!) so that we can get to work on laying the foundations of your new home.

6. The 5 key milestones of building

Slab

Start to feel the excitement in the air as your footings go down and your slab is poured.

Frame

At this step, things really start to take shape as your frame is installed.

Lock-up

Now, this one’s a big one. Your roofing, bricks, windows and external doors are all installed.

Fixing

Here, you'll start to see the new home you envisioned come to life, with the installation of your Gallery selections across interiors, flooring, cabinetry and fixtures.

PCI and Settlement

Once the final inspections have been completed, we’ll progress through to Settlement, where the remaining funds are paid, the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, and you’re handed the keys.
