To start the design process, we enter into a Design Agreement so we can commence on some detailed investigation including making a detailed list of Engineering services required including but not limited to soils report, civil engineering, mechanical, electrical and landscaping engineers. If you elect to utilize owner builder permit application you streamline the permitting process. For pre-designed spaces, the engineering is done for your home is done. We will also have a second design consultation where you can choose your finishes, fixtures, and floor coverings, specify design changes and we will confirm your quotation.

Once you are completely happy with the design, we enter into a Preliminary Expenses Agreement and develop all the documentation required to gain the necessary permitting approvals and enter a Building Contract. If the permitting departments have any questions, we will address these on your behalf. Below are the documents that we produce in this phase:

* Architectural working drawings
* Detailed specifications including all quantities of fixtures, fittings, and color selections.
* Thermal assessment and design, including 6-star energy rating compliance and certification.
* A comprehensive fixed-price building contract and associated documentation.

Unlike a typical build that will start with the foundations on site, we start our building process in our factory. This means your ADU will not affect your daily life. We will build your home in our factory. This process significantly reduces disruptions. The factory will produce the panels and structural members required for the design and create the bathroom pods kitchen cabinets per the Building Contract specifications document. On completion of the building envelop, a third party Materials inspector will conduct thorough survey of the materials in accordance with the plans and the Building Code before issuing a certificate of compliance and load the materials for shipment.

The container will be on the water for 45 days likely. During that time will ensure all site work is complete by sub contractors and the delivery area is well documented. All parties are standing by to assemble the building when it arrives and is delivered to the job site in 40’ containers. We have a highly experienced and diverse production team which includes our own qualified plumbers and electricians. This allows us to have great quality control over our projects and gives you peace of mind that your new building will be to the highest standard.

During this stage, all the remaining internal components are completed prior to delivery to the site. Your new home will now be fitted with kitchen cabinetry, wardrobes, vanity units, and doors. We also install the fixtures and fittings like the toilets, sinks, and showers ready to be connected to utilities once the modules get to the site.

While your modules are being constructed in our factory, we can concurrently complete the initial site works. By doing this, we can drastically speed up the project duration and get you in your new home sooner! When your project is ready to commence on-site, our team will complete a setout which ensures your new building will be correctly positioned on your land. The majority of our modules have a foundation system called screw piles. A screw pile is a steel screw-in piling and ground anchoring system used for building deep foundations. We use these to comply with the ground clearance levels required for modular building and they are also suitable for the majority of soil types. Screw piles work well on all types of sites from flat sites to extreme slopes. Once the foundations are in place and the building has been complete in the factory, we organize for your modules to be delivered to the site via truck. Using cranes and forklifts, we can position your modules onto their foundations and secure them in place. To finish off, we will need a short duration at your site to connect the modules to the utilities including water, power, sewerage, and stormwater as required. Depending on the size of your building this can range between 1-6 weeks. In this time, we will complete the installation of appliances, fixtures, fittings.

Your new home is now complete and ready for you to move in! We will show you how everything works and provide you with a folder of documentation including all the necessary certificates and warranties. We will keep in touch with you over the coming months to address any maintenance items you may have and check-in to see how you are enjoying your new home.
