We're with you every step of the way

Every client we work alongside is unique, and we tailor our approach accordingly. But there are some key steps that are common to every new home build.

Every project starts with a conversation about your ideas and inspiration for your new home. We’ll discuss your wants and needs, chat about your budget, and even visit you onsite if necessary.

The Plan Versatile Building Process

2. The Plan

We’ve spent decades learning how Kiwis love to live, and our range
of recommended ready-to-build homes reflects that vast knowledge. We’ll help you find the perfect design, personalise it to suit your needs, and produce a site plan, floor plan and elevations.

Estimated Costs Versatile Building Process

Once the plan design has been finalised (taking into account any changes you have made) we’ll present you with an estimated costing for your new home, based on a general scope of works, and fixtures and fittings. With your approval we can then progress to our pre-contract Short Form Agreement.

The Details Versatile Building Process

Time to get specific about everything from your tapware, to door handles, to the colour of the walls, including clarifying any engineering and/or speciality construction requirements. You’ll also meet your Colour Consultant/ Interior Designer, and your Kitchen Designer.

At this stage you’ll start to see lots of activity! The floor will go down, the frames will go up, and the roof will go on. Exterior cladding and interior linings make the home watertight, while plumbing, painting and tiling also takes place.

Compliance Versatile Building Process

The carpet is laid, the lights are hung, and the finishing touches are made. Once everything’s clean and tidy we’ll arrange for the local council to complete their final inspection – the last step before they can issue the Code Compliance Certificate.

Welcome Home Versatile Building Process

Once final payment is made we’ll meet you at your fabulous new home and present you with your keys and all of your warranty documentation. Of course, the relationship doesn’t end there – should you encounter any teething problems with your new home we’re never more than a phone call away.
