Our Process
Consultation
Your home build begins with an initial meeting with Damian, who will take the time to understand your vision, requirements, preferences, and budget. This thorough discussion ensures that he gains a comprehensive understanding of your goals for the project.
Concept
Based on the plan discussed during our initial meeting, we'll connect you with one of our talented, experienced, and open-minded designers. They will create a concept plan that includes a detailed floor plan, elevations, and a 3D rendering. This collaborative process allows us to discuss, modify, and finalize the design, ensuring that your vision is accurately captured and all your functional needs are seamlessly integrated into the plan.
Costing
Your house plans are then priced with detailed specifications and inclusions to check that your budget will not be compromised. Often this part of the process will involve further consultation to change or remove some of the details of your home to ensure we know exactly what you want. At this point you can work with us to select external and internal colours, appliances, lighting and flooring that reflects your individual style.
Compliance + Working Drawings
Once your house plans are prepared, we will provide a detailed pricing estimate that includes specifications and inclusions to ensure your budget remains intact. This stage often involves additional consultations to adjust or refine certain aspects of your home, allowing us to fully understand your preferences. At this point, you can collaborate with us to choose the exterior and interior colors, appliances, lighting, and flooring that best reflect your unique style.
Contract & Construction
Once all plans, costings and working drawings are approved, you will enter into a Registered Master Builders approved contract. This contract acts as the legal agreement between you and OPX Builders. It outlines standard payment schedules that need to be made on retrospective work so you never pay for any work not already completed. At contract signing, you will also be asked to make a 5% deposit on your new home. Just before we begin we will discuss everything related to your build, including asking any questions that you may have. We will also speak to you about the building time frames and will brief you on Health and Safety and other mandatory implications of the construction process. Construction of your home is overseen by Damian who will communicate with you and keep you informed every step of the way, from planned site visits and email updates.
Completion
Once construction is completed and signed off, we will do a ‘Practical Completion’ and a Code of Compliance application is submitted. You will then be advised when you can move into your new dream home. We are committed to making this building journey as stress-free and satisfactory as possible. Our 90 day ‘After Sales Care’ period addresses any maintenance issues and ensures that any remedial work is undertaken once it is logged and approved. This programme, along with the Master Builder’s 10 Year Guarantee, gives you peace of mind that the quality of your home remains our focus even after you move in.
