Lets talk next stage planning – all things inclusions, exterior, interior and scheduling! As you may have guessed, we LOVE planning!
So that is what we do next, plan your build, from the ground up with every little detail included. Our interiors team collaborate with you on your selections for your home, exterior and interior. Creating and finessing all the details you want from walls to floors, joinery to outdoor BBQ, paint selection to window coverings. Let’s personalise it all.
LET THE BUILD BEGIN
Planning stages are complete & we are ready to start knocking down walls. We begin with an introduction to our online client system. We have all the details and specifications for your build online and on hand to help our teams and you go through the building stages.
We meet regularly throughout the duration of the build; you will get to know our fabulous team of tradies and they will consult with you on certain details for each stage.
WALK THROUGH & MOVING IN
The FINAL LIST!
We want to make sure you are in love with your newly renovated home so we walk through with you. Going over the detail, fixing, tweaking, painting and cleaning our way around. The last sweep of your home before we hand you back your keys.
HAPPY HOME
We love a happy home and a happy YOU!
We will be here for all the buildings maintenance issues after 90 days and continue to be for the following 12 months on completion. The new home is taking time to settle into each season. In Canberra they can be harsh – dry summers, frosty winters & wet mid seasons but we have your house’s needs in mind.
Stay in touch with us and let us know if anything changes in your home.
