Step 2 - Designing your new home...
Planning starts with our drafting team listening to each and everyones needs and ideas. In the comfort of our office you will be able to discuss with our draftsperson what size you would like your home to be and what your building budget is so we can accommodate you in both areas.
Step 3 - Drafting your design
Sketches are drawn for the approval of clients whilst taking into consideration your site & its physical characteristics.
At this stage your sketches are only preliminary which will allow you to make any changes or ask questions regarding room sizes, window styles, door openings, storage needs etc.
Step 4 - Quotation
Pricing starts when clients are completely satisfied with their design. Once floor plan has been finalised we move onto the next step of providing you with a quotation. Throughout this process we endeavour to seek pricing for quality materials from suppliers at the best price available to us. If you wish to complete any work yourself now is the time to let us know. When quotation is finalised we will contact you and organise a time suitable to come in and sit down with us to go over the quotation.
