1. New Home Selection

From here, we’ll be busy in the background preparing all the relevant files to get your home ready for contract signing!

2. Tender Appointment

A tender appointment in simple terms is an explanation meeting – meaning we go through your house design and siting (including site works) based on your sales quote, soil test, site survey, and preliminary engineering. We also cover off any floorplan changes you’d like to make, the costs involved in these, and more. At the end of the appointment, you will also receive a Draft Copy of the Master Builders Victoria contract for your review, prior to your contract signing appointment. Not all builders offer a tender appointment but at Evolve Living we like our customers to feel reassured and ‘in the know’ throughout the entirety of the process. The goal of a tender appointment is to have you feeling confident with the details of your build and have your 3% deposit finalized so we can set your build in motion.

3. Colour Selection Appointment

Welcome to a World of Colours! This is where you will have your one-on-one appointment with a professional color consultant in a Stunning Showroom. Our Colour Consultant will guide you through each selection of your home.

4. Contract Signing

It’s getting real now! This is when we’ll prepare and present your fixed price Master Builders Victoria (MBA) contract based on the confirmed house design, siting, and your Current selections. At this point, you’ll sign the contract and pay the balance of a 5% deposit of the contract price. Well done, homeowner!

Our Process is broken down into five steps after the contract Signing

a. Building Permits and Council Approved Plans

This is where we will apply with your local council to get the building permit as well as council approved plans and any Developer Guidelines that are required. We allow a 6- 8-week period.

b. Base Stage

Base Stage And just like that, it’s time for construction! We’ll lay down the foundation of your future home with a concrete slab including under slab drains and electrical. Your home begins to take shape as we work out the shell of the house and construct wall frames and roof trusses (excluding garage and some projections subject to house design). At base stage you’ll need to authorise the payment of the 20% base price and forward it to your lending institution.

c. Frame Stage

Next, your home begins to take shape as we work out the shell of the house! We construct wall frames and roof trusses (excluding the garage and some projections subject to house design). If needed, we’ll perform an excavation of your site. We’ll also have a Building Surveyor who will inspect your frame once it’s finished. At the frame stage, you’ll need to authorize the payment of the 25% and forward it to your lending institution.

d. Lock Up Stage

Now here’s where your home really comes together. We’ll fit your external wall cladding or brickwork, roof covering, external doors and windows. Plumbing, electrical, security, ducted vacuum and heating/ cooling rough-in which includes wiring, piping and ducting will be installed. Fits offs of these items will be completed in the practical completion stage at this stage, you’ll need to authorise the payment of the 20% lock up price and forward it to your lending institution.

e. Fixing Stage

It looks great from the outside, now let’s fix the inside. We’ll fit all internal cladding, architraves, skirting, doors, cabinets and cupboards. During this stage we’ll Install plaster linings, kitchen and vanities (excluding granite benchtops) and stairs and ensure BSS completes an independent pre-paint inspection of your fixing stage. You’ll also need to authorise the payment of the 20% fixing price and forward it to your lending institution.

5. Completion and Handover

Annnnnnd we’re done! After we’ve added the finishing touches and put away the tools, Our Nominated Inspection Company will do one final inspection of your home to ensure it’s built to Australian standards, codes and regulations. They’ll provide us with a Certificate of Occupancy which simply states that your home is legally liveable. We’ll forward that certificate on to you so you can give this to your lender if needed.

Finally, you’ll meet with your Construction Supervisor on site at your new home for all exciting handover appointment. They’ll walk you through everything including security systems, garage roller doors, the thermostat and more. You’ll also get the keys to your front door, any external doors and windows.

At this stage, you’ll need to authorise the payment of the 10% completion price and forward it to your lending institution. Bank requirements at settlement will need to be met for funds to be released including a final bank evaluation. Please contact your lender for further details.
