Watch a build
From slab to keys.
See how a turnkey home comes together, stage by stage. Scroll slowly: the home builds as you go, and when the walls close in we take you inside the kitchen.
Your lot, titled and ready
The land settles in your name. The builder arranges the soil test, survey, engineering and building permit before anyone arrives on site.
Stage payments
What you pay, and when
You pay the land at settlement and the build in stages. Each stage is paid only once it is complete, and the deposit is capped at 5%.
Stage payments in Victoria
For a contract that covers every stage, Consumer Affairs Victoria sets out the usual schedule below. The deposit is capped at 5% for contracts of $20,000 or more. You only pay for a stage once it is complete.
| Stage | When it is complete | Share of build price |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | On signing the building contract | 5% |
| Base | Slab poured and complete | 10% |
| Frame | Frame finished and approved by the building surveyor | 15% |
| Lock-up | External walls, roof and windows fixed (see your contract for doors) | 35% |
| Fixing | Internal linings, doors, skirting and cabinets fitted | 25% |
| Final | Occupancy permit issued and work finished to contract | 10% |
