What we do for landowners

Site Investigation (from $250): early checks to confirm what your lot requires—preliminary soil test by a registered engineer, BAL rating, council overlays, as-constructed sewer/stormwater searches, registered plan review and, where needed, a licensed surveyor contour survey. These upfront enquiries are designed to surface constraints before you commit to construction.

Additional due diligence (from $750): for selected sites we can arrange percolation testing for onsite sewerage, plus targeted flood-level and acoustic enquiries.

Pre-Approval (from $1,400): we draw working plans in your chosen specification, complete an energy assessment, calculate industry levies, lodge with the certifier (and council drainage where required), apply for home-warranty insurance, and hold your price for 60 days from quote date.

Quality & protection you can verify

Your home is delivered under an ISO-9001 quality-assured system with rigorous oversight—6 statutory + 20 additional builder inspections, plus 15 compulsory + 35 additional third-party certificates—backed by a 50-year limited structural warranty and a 17-month maintenance period. All homes come standard with steel frames and trusses, and you can track progress 24/7 via our online customer portal.

Indicative timing (SEQ)

Recent data shows an average administration period of around 12 weeks, followed by a minimum construction period of approximately 28 weeks for registered blocks, subject to weather, approvals and supply.

Note: Site-investigation advice relies on independent third-party data; fees are non-refundable once orders are placed. Contract pricing excludes external service conveyance and other site-specific authority requirements unless expressly stated.
