Your Building Questions Answered

  • Do you offer free quotes?

    No — and for good reason.

    We provide detailed, accurate pricing through our Preliminary Agreement, which covers design, drafting, engineering and site-specific costing.

    Free quotes are rushed and often inaccurate; our paid process ensures clarity, transparency and fewer variations later.

  • What is a Preliminary Agreement?

    The Preliminary Agreement (Prelim Contract) covers all upfront work required before signing a building contract, including:

    - concept design

    - drafting

    - engineering

    - consultant reports

    - accurate cost estimating

    - selections support

    It protects your budget, ensures accurate quoting, and allows the project to be thoroughly planned before construction begins.

  • Can we skip the Preliminary Agreement and go straight to a quote?

    No.

    Skipping proper design and documentation leads to inaccurate pricing and costly surprises.

    Our process ensures your design, scope and budget are aligned before you commit to a building contract.

  • When do you offer site visits?

    We complete a Discovery Call first to confirm your project is the right fit.

    If aligned, we book a site meeting where we can walk the area, discuss ideas and review suitability.

    This ensures your time — and ours — is used effectively.

  • What happens during the site meeting?

    We review your proposed site or existing structure, talk through your goals, identify any constraints and begin shaping the direction of your project.

    This step ensures accurate planning and avoids surprises later in the build.

  • How long does the design and preliminary phase take?

    Time varies depending on complexity, but most projects take 4–12 weeks to complete design, drafting, engineering and detailed costing.

    We keep you updated through every stage.

  • Do you help with design?

    Yes.

    Our design and drafting team works with you to create a concept that balances:

    - aesthetic vision

    - functionality

    - budget

    - site conditions

    All design work is included in the Preliminary Agreement.

  • When do we see the final price?

    You receive a detailed, transparent cost estimate once design and documentation are complete.

    This ensures the final contract price is realistic, accurate and based on confirmed selections.

  • When do we sign the building contract?

    After the design, documents, engineering and pricing are finalised.

    This guarantees you’re signing a contract with full clarity and confidence.

  • Do you build from existing plans?

    Yes, we can work from existing plans, but they must meet our documentation standards.

    If needed, we may advise updates to ensure accurate pricing and smooth construction.

  • What areas do you build in?

    We service regional Western Australia, with a strong focus on the Goldfields, Kalgoorlie, Kambalda, Esperance, and surrounding areas.

    We assess each project based on location, access and complexity.

  • What kind of projects do you build?

    We specialise in:

    - custom homes

    - renovations & extensions

    - commercial builds

    - workshops & offices

    - carpentry-led construction projects

    If it can be built with skill, craftsmanship and good planning, we can build it.

  • How do you communicate during the build?

    You get:

    - regular updates

    - photos

    - schedule milestones

    - progress reports

    All through our client portal, so you’re always in the loop.

  • What makes your process different from other builders?

    We don’t guess.

    We don’t rush.

    We don’t cut corners.

    Our process is built around:

    - accurate planning

    - transparent pricing

    - strong communication

    - carpentry-led quality control

    It leads to fewer variations, smoother builds and better outcomes.
