OUR TRIED AND TESTED

7 Step Process

STEP ONE

Site Visit

Every project begins with a detailed design brief and scope of works. During an initial site visit we’ll document everything you want and don’t want in your home. We’ll also review your building conditions and block topography and source specific site information. Every design by Pilot & Pine is tailored to your unique building budget to ensure you’re getting the best home in every facet.

STEP TWO

Design and Quote

Using all the information gathered in step 1, we will prepare a design and inclusions list for your review. You are free to choose from one of our designs or start with a blank canvas for a full custom service. When we present your new design, we’ll walk you through the floor plan and go through the inclusions list in detail. Once approved, we will quote the design and make amendments until it is within budget.

STEP THREE

Preparation of Documents

At this stage you’ve given us the green light to prepare all your relevant documents for building approval. We’ll prepare the final working drawings and your full engineering plans before submitting your home design to the local authorities for development consent or planning approval.

STEP FOUR

Fixed Price Contract

At this stage, you’ll receive a full copy of your building contract with all the relevant documents for your review and signature. Part of this documentation includes a detailed tender that lists all the inclusions in your home, as well as the fixed price quote to complete the construction. Our price will be within the budget initially discussed. Once the contract is signed, we’re ready to begin your final selections and finishes.

STEP FIVE

Selections and Finishes

Now it’s time to select your final fittings and materials. Our interior designer will guide you through the process to ensure your new home is personalised to your style and tastes. In the meantime, we’ll begin preparing our construction schedule to ensure your build starts and finishes on time.

STEP SIX

Construction

Now we’re ready to build. Our building manager will book in all relevant earth works and you’ll begin seeing your wonderful new home design come to life. At various stages of construction, we’ll arrange site meetings to discuss progress and for you to inspect our high-quality workmanship.

STEP SEVEN

Handover

The day you’ve been waiting for is finally here! You’re ready to accept the keys to your new home. But before you do, we’ll conduct a final inspection with you and run you through your maintenance schedule. Once you’re satisfied, the keys are yours and your new home is ready to move in to and enjoy. We will come visit you again in one year time to see how your new home is settling into its new environment.
