The Building Process

A chronological timeline detailing your design and construction milestones. We provide complete transparency at every stage of the custom build.

01

Initial Feasibility & Site Survey

Week 1 – 2

Our directors and draftsmen perform a physical site inspection of your land. We map the block dimensions, solar angles, slope parameters, and research local planning restrictions (LEP/DCP) from your Sydney council.

Included Work

  • Geotechnical soil testing coordination
  • Topographical survey planning
  • Identifying council easements & zone requirements
02

Architectural Concept Drafting

Week 3 – 8

We create a custom floorplan and design layout from scratch. You work directly with our interior designers and architects to define the structural aesthetic. We prepare detailed 3D schematic renders.

Included Work

  • Initial schematic floorplans
  • Window and solar orientation analysis
  • External material mood boards
03

Council Approvals (DA/CDC)

Week 9 – 20

We prepare and submit all documentation. This includes statements of environmental effects, stormwater management drawings, and shadow diagrams. We coordinate with council officers or private certifiers.

Included Work

  • Stormwater engineering reports
  • BASIX certification (energy rating)
  • Council panel negotiations (if required)
04

Engineering & Finish Selection

Week 21 – 26

While approvals are finalized, we refine structural engineering (concrete footings, steel columns) and guide you through selecting plumbing fixtures, lighting layouts, and custom joinery designs.

Included Work

  • Structural slab and steel design engineering
  • Premium electrical layouts
  • Finishing selections (taps, flooring, paints)
05

The Build & Supervised Construction

Month 6 – 16

Your dedicated Innovative Design & Construction Group site manager oversees day-to-day work, keeping build quality at director-level standards. We schedule structural milestone reviews for plumbing, slab, frames, lockup, and fit-out.

Included Work

  • Daily director-level inspections
  • Client walk-throughs at lockup stage
  • HIA-certified intermediate certifications
06

Completion & Handover

Final Week

Our directors conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of the finished residence, verifying every paint seam and tile alignment. We hand over keys, municipal occupancy certificates, and your homeowners manual.

Included Work

  • Occupancy Certificate (OC) delivery
  • Homeowner equipment training session
  • Extended structural care period activation

Contract Assurance

Unlike volume builders who use provisional sums to hide cost increases, our architectural custom contracts are detailed, transparent, and fixed-price based on actual engineering designs.
