PHASE ONE

Groundwork.

In this phase, we get to know one another; making sure we understand your dreams and goals so we can set the groundwork for success.

Meet.

You are the most important part of any build. We meet you over a beer or coffee to learn about your ideas and lifestyle. This allows us to tailor the project to you and suggest ways to make your home or renovation even better. During this time we’ll also chat about what we do, and how high-performance homes work.

Prep work.

Here we create our plan for your project - working out what’s required and suggesting preliminary service providers that do a great job. This is also where we will go over your 10 year Halo residential guarantee. We will present you with the proposed costs to move forward, and once agreed on we can get started on making your dream a reality.

Planning.

This step is exciting, it’s when you’ll get to see your project start to come to life through concept plans. After the preliminary services are done, we help you work out the design elements of your project, as well as collaborate with local interior designers to make a space that suits you.

Review.

Now’s the time where you’ll see all of the pricing and ideas come together. We present our pricing proposal and scope of works to you, alongside your build contract to get started on phase two.

Contract.

This step calls for celebration. Once your contract is signed we give you a congratulations gift and move on to the next phase. Building here you come!

PHASE TWO

Construction.

The work begins! Now it’ll start to feel real as you see your build happen before your eyes.

Two-way conversation.

Keeping you in the loop at every step of the build is important to us. We understand building is a journey and use project management software that keeps you up to date with the build schedule and any changes.

Any variations will be given to you in writing so you never get caught out by cost changes. Plus we’re always eager for a chat and to answer questions along the way.

Construction begins.

We start building. No matter whether your project is a new build or a renovation we project manage every element of it. This keeps the project moving smoothly and means you’re always in the loop.

PHASE THREE

Post Construction.

Celebratory drinks are on us! But the journey doesn’t end there.

Professional Clean.

Once we’re all finished your house gets a free professional clean, so you move into a nice clean home.

Key handover.

As part of the handover, we walk you through the project, making sure you are in love with the build. We also put all of your product, warranty and maintenance information into cloud-based software and teach you how to use it. This prevents you from losing paper warranties and sends you friendly notifications when any maintenance is due.

Maintenance check-ups.

Your peace of mind is important to us, so we will keep in contact to check in with your build. You’re welcome to reach out with any questions at any time and we will still be there to help.
