Can you help with the entire process?

Yes, here at Beach Breeze Building we can guide you through the entire process. It can be daunting and a stressful experience preparing and undertaking a building project. To relieve you of the stress and ensure the best outcome possible, we take care of everything including site investigations, designing plans, preparing reports, lodging and managing applications, liaising with council and relevant authority’s, co-ordinating selections, sourcing materials, co-ordination works to complete construction.

How long does it take?

Timing varies from project to project depending on the complexity and size of the project. The design and approval process usually takes 4-6 months, and construction 4-8 months. Generally, we advise our clients to expect a 1-year turnaround from concept design to handover of the keys.

How and when do we pay?

We understand it can be daunting to initially commit and selecting the right company to work with is imperative to a successful outcome. With this in mind, our process is broken down into stages, Concept, Preliminary and Construction. This minimises the commitment you need to make so you can ensure we’re the right fit. There is no obligation to move onto the next stage if you decide not to proceed with us or the development altogether.

If you engage us for the construction of your home, you don’t pay for everything upfront. The total fixed price is broken into 5-7 progress payments which are claimed as works are completed and milestones reached throughout the build.

We can offer 3D rendering services and a virtual walkthrough of the home design. This can give you a better feel for the home and sense of the space and layout.

The fund acts as a safety net for owners and provides cover for major and minor defect works or the event that prevents the builder from completing the project. This form of cover is required for any project with a value greater than $20,000.00 and needs to be in place before any works or a construction certificate is issued.
