New Homes

Once you’ve met with our expert consultants and chosen your favourite home design we can schedule a site inspection. This will include:

• Visiting your land in Sydney
• Assessing the costs of building
• Our inspector will look at the location of services, the slope of the land, location of trees, access for trades and deliveries

From you, we will need:

• Your favourite home design/what you choose
• Detailed documentation of your block of land or land you’re thinking of buying. This includes the subdivision plan/site of your blog, a sewer diagram and a 149 certificate (zoning certificate from your local council).

After we’ve inspected your Sydney land, we’ll contact you to organise a meeting where we can present your new home proposal. This will include:

• Site costs (the cost to build on your specific block of land)
• Council and statutory requirements
• Any variations you may have requested to the standard Sydney home design
• Any value packages you may have selection

What we need from you:

• Any final changes you may require for your new home must be made at this point
• We advise you to speak with your finance manager to make sure you’re comfortable with your loan approval

You’ll be invited to Blue Build’s office so we can present your new home build plans and building agreement for you to sign. Here Blue Build:

• Prepares a full set of architectural drawings suitable for council
• Sign your building agreement and provide you with a copy

What we need from you:

• Your external colour choices, including bricks, roof materials, gutters, fascias, garage doors and windows. These all need to be selected so we can gain BASIX and send your plans to the council. But don’t worry, you won’t be on your own as one of our preferred brick suppliers will assist you in making your choices in completing your BASIX checklist
• Provide confirmation of land ownership
• Provide details of your financier and loan amount
• Professional landscape plan (only if required by the council)

Your design consultations are when the fun truly begins. Our expert suppliers and in-house design consultants will help in selecting the right colours, fixtures, appliances and everything else needed to make your Sydney home a reality.

What we need from you:

We highly recommend no demolition to take place until you have received council approval for your new home.

• Sign and return our validation latter and construction plan

What we need from you:

• You can request a site visit through your supervisor at numerous stages
• A final walkthrough of the home where your supervisor will present you with the finished design
• When you receive your occupation certificate all that’s left to do is move into your brand new home

The big moment has finally arrived! Upon settlement, we’ll meet and present you with the keys to your new home, which is when you’ll officially experience all your dreams becoming a reality.
