Depending on the size of the home the actual build time can vary from 16 weeks through to 20 weeks although most contracts we write are for 18 weeks.

Whereas this is the actual on site build time there is an ordered process to go through to get to a site start.

This includes the initial undertaking of preliminary drawings and engineers soil report required prior to contract signing, followed by the completion of working drawings, colour selections, engineered plans and finally to our certifier for council approval.

We include standard within all our homes:

• Sisalation® within the walls, which is noticeable on our building sites as the blue paper you will see lining the treated pine wall frames before brickwork commencement. This is also used under the Roof be in Tiles or Colourbond.
• Sisalation®, in its simplest form, is a lamination of aluminium foil to kraft paper, reinforced with fibreglass and flame retardant adhesive.
• R2.5 Batts within the ceilings.
• Currently we are using "PINK BATTS" as they are a sustainable product made from up to 70% recycled glass that would otherwise go in to landfill and they reduce energy which in turn reduces green house gas emissions.

Our insulations are safe to use with allergy suffers due to low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content.
