Want to Build Your Dream with a Custom Home Builder in Wollongong?
Made that decision?!
The kids are growing up so fast before your eyes and you want to get this process started straight away so you can enjoy the years of your family growing up together in your dream home … time does race.
It’s a very exciting journey to embark on and the biggest question is … what do I need to do and have to get this vision rolling?
First things first – you need to engage a design and construct building company. There is a lot to do before the whole build process starts.
And what’s most important is, for you, to do your due diligence, and ask us about a Feasibility Package. It is a paid pre-construction service that includes concept plans, a detailed site assessment and a cost estimate. It helps you test your scope against your budget before full design. The signed package sets out the scope and deliverables.
It helps you test your scope against your budget through concept plans, a detailed site assessment and a cost estimate. The package does not automatically include every approval, consultant report or test. Those depend on your project and the signed package terms.
As a custom home builder in Wollongong, we recommend discussing the Feasibility Package terms before you sign. The package scope, contract structure and any relationship to a later building contract depend on the documents you receive for your project. Ask us to explain those terms before proceeding.
Beware: Architectural Plans Need to Be Tested Against the Budget
Think of this: if you engage an architect independently, their sole object is to design whatever you want. They are not aware of the true costs of their design, and to be honest, that’s not what they are engaged to do.
By involving a builder in this design process through a Feasibility Package, the builder works with the architect or draftsman closely to protect you, the client, to stay to budget, and understand the true costs.
This very in-depth relationship with the builder at this stage is really to your total advantage.
The Feasibility Package helps you test your scope against your budget with concept plans, a detailed site assessment and a cost estimate. Any approvals, consultant reports or tests depend on your project and the signed package terms.
Once the Feasibility Package is finished, you’ll have information to review your scope before full design. Your next steps depend on your project and the signed terms.
