Stage 1
Discover & Brief
We align on goals, site conditions, constraints, and budget to set the project direction.
Project process
A smarter, clearer way to build
Predictable programs, fewer surprises, better outcomes. Our process blends rigorous pre-construction with fast, precise on-site assembly. You get a single, transparent path from early brief to handover.
Clarity at every step

Roadmap
From first call to handover — the 8 stages
Stage 2
Concept & Feasibility
High-level layouts, massing, and program checks. Early engineering input to de-risk later stages.
Stage 3
Design & Engineering
Architectural drawings, structural details for EPS panels & steel, services routing, and specs.
Stage 4
Approvals & Permits
Submission-ready packs (plans, engineering, fire/thermal data) prepared and lodged.
Stage 5
Manufacture & Logistics
Panels cut to schedule; steel fabricated. Sequenced deliveries minimise site handling and waste.
Stage 6
Assembly on Site
Steel erected, panels fixed, joints reinforced, services chased, roof & waterproofing installed.
Stage 7
Finishes & Systems
Doors/windows, render or cladding, paint; electrical, plumbing, HVAC and smart systems commissioned.
Stage 8
QA, Handover & Aftercare
Final QA, documentation, keys, warranties, and a post-occupancy check-in plan.

Milestones
Typical project checkpoints
✔ Design Freeze
Scope locked, drawings issued for approvals and fabrication.
✔ Permit Approval
Authorities sign-off; we confirm program and site start.
✔ Panel & Steel Ready
Fabrication complete; deliveries sequenced to site.
✔ Lock-Up
Structure sealed; services and internal works progress in parallel.
✔ Practical Completion
QA checklist passed; client walkthrough and snag close-out.
✔ Handover
Keys, manuals, warranties; aftercare support scheduled.
Process FAQs
How long does the whole process take?
Timelines vary by scope and approvals, but our panelised approach typically shortens on-site time by 40–60% compared with traditional builds.
Can you help with permits and proposal documentation?
Yes. See Planning Services and Permit & Proposal Packs for submission-ready materials.
What happens if something changes during construction?
We operate a controlled variation process with clear pricing and program impact so decisions stay transparent.
Do you work in regional or remote areas?
Yes—our sequenced logistics and modular system reduce site time and minimise deliveries for regional builds.
Ready to map your project?
We’ll align scope and budget, prepare approvals, and deliver a clean, efficient build with EPS cement panels.
