Plan Ahead

Typical Build Timelines

Expected durations by build type, so you know roughly what to plan around before you even start.

Prefab Modular Homes

Onsite construction

Approx. 18-20 weeks

Once your home is ready to begin construction, an onsite build typically takes around 18 weeks to complete, depending on the individual project and site conditions. 

Offsite construction

Approx. 18-20 weeks + 2-3 weeks onsite

The build at our Lang Lang facility typically takes around 18 weeks, followed by approximately 2-3 weeks for delivery, installation and completion onsite. 

Granny Flats / SSDs

Approx. 16-18 weeks

Small second dwellings typically take around 16-18 weeks to construct, whether built onsite or at our facility.

For offsite-built homes, allow a further 2-3 weeks for delivery, installation and completion onsite.

Your Full Journey

Best case from approximately 8 months

Your overall journey also includes the pre-construction stage before the build itself begins.

Without council planning involvement, pre-construction can take approximately 4-5 months and may include design, site investigations, drafting, engineering, contracts and permits.

For a straightforward project with no planning permit required, handover may be possible from around 8 months. Projects requiring council or planning approvals can take longer. 

Steps 1-4

Planning and Design

Where your home starts to take shape, from your first conversation through to requesting your paid quote.

Let's Discuss Your Project

Your first conversation with us. We get to know your goals, budget and site, and lodge your initial quote request.

Design Exploration

We prepare your tailored quote and walk you through what's included, before your quote evolves as site details and council requirements are confirmed.

Feasibility Check

We check your project is feasible using your site details, including your land title or Section 32 plan and build address, and confirm if it's an onsite or offsite build.

Request Paid Quote

Once feasibility looks good, you request your formal paid quote, the next step before we prepare it in detail for you.

Getting it right here avoids delays later. The feasibility check confirms your project can go ahead before you commit to a paid quote, most of this stage moves at your pace.

Steps 5-7

Quote and Deposit

Where your quote is finalised and your project moves into pre-construction management.

Quote Preparation

You accept your quote and pay your quote preparation fee, which funds the detailed work of turning your quote into a buildable plan.

Preliminary Deposit

Your preliminary deposit, $2.5k for onsite builds or $3.5k for offsite, locks in site checks, surveys and drafting your site and floor plan.

Handover to Pre-Construction Specialist

Your project is handed to our pre-construction specialist, who takes over managing site checks, drawings and council liaison from here.

Handing over to a specialist. Once your preliminary deposit is paid, a dedicated pre-construction specialist takes the reins on site checks, drawings and council liaison, usually within a week.

Steps 8-11

Approvals and Contract

Where your plans are confirmed and locked in, from council approval through to the start of construction.

Council Approval

Your site plan is submitted for approval. Once it's through, we send it to you to review and sign off.

Design Finalisation

You lock in your colour selections and finishes. Any updated drawings or quote are confirmed with you along the way.

Contract Signing

Your Preliminary Agreement is signed first, followed by your Contract Set and HIA Contract, along with your contract deposit.

Building Permit and Handover to Site

We apply for your building permit and your project is issued to construction. You'll be introduced to your Site Supervisor, your main contact through to handover.

About your HIA Contract: this is the industry-standard building contract used across Victoria. It sets out costs, timeframes and each party’s obligations clearly, and is widely recognised for the peace of mind it gives homeowners.
