3. Concept & design collaboration

Working closely with our inhouse design team (or your chosen designer or architect), we refine the concept, focusing on functionality, aesthetics, sustainability, and energy efficiency. We also ensure that the design aligns with your budget and site conditions. For a little guidance in planning your next project you can download our MLB design brief checklist.

4. Costing & proposal

Once the design is developed, we prepare a detailed, transparent cost estimate. This includes a comprehensive breakdown of materials, inclusions, and timelines. We’ll walk you through everything to ensure clarity and confidence before moving forward.

5. Approvals & documentation

We handle all necessary documentation, including engineering details, energy assessments, and council approvals. Our team manages this process efficiently to keep your project on track.

6. Contract signing

With all details finalised, we enter into a formal building contract (typically HIA or MBA standard contracts), giving you peace of mind with clear terms, timeframes, and expectations.

7. Construction begins

Now the exciting part starts! Our experienced team gets to work, focusing on precision craftsmanship and high-performance building practices. We keep you informed at every stage, from site preparation to framing, fixing stage, and finishes.

8. Regular communication & site meetings

Throughout construction, we maintain open communication and invite you to regular site meetings. You’ll see firsthand how your home is taking shape and have opportunities to ask questions or discuss any variations.

9. Completion & handover

Once construction is complete, we carry out a comprehensive final inspection and professional clean to ensure your home is finished to the highest standard. We’ll then guide you through a detailed handover walkthrough, covering every aspect of your new home. You’ll also receive a complete handover pack, including all warranties, certifications, and relevant documentation.

10. Aftercare & warranty support

Our relationship doesn’t end at handover. We stand by our work with dedicated aftercare and warranty support, ensuring your home continues to perform beautifully for years to come.
