You meet one of our Home Building Consultants and complete a Client Needs Profile.
This is where we uncover all the design and building features that are important to you.
On top of Colliers Comprehensive standard specification, you can add other features to the plan. These are all documented in writing following out simple but thorough checklists. During this design and costing phase you'll also be introduced to our Client Needs Summary. This summary confirms the window sizes and room sizes, consideration of Furniture placement, and so on, to perfectly meet your requirements.
The complete documentation is compiled and we arrange for a licensed Surveyor to confirm the Lot boundaries and ascertain the location of essential services such as power, water, sewerage, level of land, etc.
At the same time, a Structural Engineer will prepare a Certificate of Inspection based on an assessment of soil samples on site and prepare a footing design specific for your new home lot.
During the preparation of these reports our Drafting Department will draw the plans, including elevation, and site the home on the block. The plans are then carefully checked against your written requests.
Your Home Building Consultant then brings you the plans in a personalised Building File, along with a Colour Pack (in preparation for the colour selection). They will go through each room and elevation with you to ensure that the plans meet all of your requirements. The plans are then certified and the Building Contract signed.
You will be allocated a Personal Assistant to answer any of your queries, give you regular updates and guide you through the exciting process of colour selection. This one person stays with you throughout the process.
They will arrange for a certified assessor to calculate your home's energy rating and, upon reaching the correct star-rating, a certificate will be provided. Simultaneously, the plans will be lodged with the Local Authority and Water Corporation.
Your Personal Assistant will follow up with the statutory bodies to ensure that Shire, Water Corporation and Developer's applications are approved promptly. When all the approvals are checked, we are now ready to start construction.
When the building phase begins, you will have direct access to you Building Supervisor and, because Collier supervisors only have a limited number of jobs to manage, you will be kept well-informed at each stage of the construction process.
