Purchasing the Home
Choosing a House and Land package means that while the price has been determined for a particular home on a particular lot, you still have some flexibility in the home design – which may or may not affect the package price.
This process may vary according to who you build with. The following process applies.
| STEP 1: Find a design you'll love to call home |
| Find a home design that's right from you, from your builder of choice |
| STEP 2: Find out the costs. |
| Once you've chosen your design and discussed the details with your building, ask for a written cost estimate |
| STEP 3: Your Home Building Agreement |
When you've accepted your written cost estimate your builder will prepare your Home Building Agreement.
Your Home Building Agreement is a detailed document including full drawings, Energy Reports and Council requirements and a fee to be paid to your builder. After you sign your Home Building Agreement, a further fee is required so your Builder can apply to council for Approvals on your behalf. |
| STEP 4: Development Applications and Council Approval |
| Your builder submits building applications and secures council approvals. |
| STEP 5: Authority to Commence Construction (ACC) |
| Your builder provides ACC once finance approval is received |
| STEP 6: Building your new home |
| Once the ACC has been issued, orders are placed for labour and materials and the building of your new home can begin |
| STEP 7: Handover |
| Your builder will present you with your new home to enjoy in the years to come. |
