After the first initial meeting the next steps are:

• Floor plan drafted
• Internal and external designs
• Scope of works is clear, taking into consideration many components such as finances/budget and overall house size and style.
• This stage is critical to ensure we tailor your home to your budget.

Expert home building tips

What do you need? How do you want your new home to look, feel and work for you and your family? Do you have a plan? Have you explored a range of design options?

Stick to your budget

Decide as early as possible how much money you want to spend. Let us know so we can give you options within your price guide. Remember that your budet should cover everything that may arise from your building project, including items such as new window coverings, blinds and appliances if needed. Chat to your lender if you need finance guidance for your project.

What are your future plans?

We can look over your home and offer suggestions for the most effective solutions based on what your current and future goals and plans are.

Ensure you get a proper building contract

A written professional contract will spell out in exact specifics of the arrangements between you and Symcorp Builders which will describe your building project or renovation in detail as well as the responsibilities and obligations of all parties.

Invest in quality, not always price

Be careful not to jeopardise the standard of your home building project by compromising on the quality of materials and craftmanship.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. We all want value for money and it can be tempting to go for the lowest priced builder, but you need to consider the implications if you choose a cheaper quote. Professional and experienced builders will help you select the best products and solutions within your budget. Make sure that when comparing builders that you are comparing 'like with like' for example, does each quote include the same level of inclusions, materials and products throughout the entire project?

If you need help with this we can walk your through what is included in your Symcorp new home build quotation.
