Typically this would be a year-long process with the build itself, we’d allow nine months.

Ground Up Homes has a great range of subcontractors that we have worked closely with for many years. This guarantees quality work finished in a timely manner.

Regarding materials, you would ideally want everything confirmed in the concept plan. Working with Fran, she has a broad knowledge of all the materials available and what would work best for your style and budget.

The cost of the build is determined by your vision and what you are wanting to spend. But we can work with any budget, and we will know final cost of the build from the quantity surveyor we engage with. This is the price that will be supplied in your Building Contract.
