Our Process

Our award winning process

The KDR process – from discovery, planning, contracts through to being ready for construction.

Step 01

Discovery

During the discovery process, we’ll discuss your goals, budget and lifestyle to help shape your ideal home, guiding you through our range of single and double storey designs, inclusions and flexible customisation options.

Step 02

Site Appraisal

Our New Home Consultant conducts a preliminary site appraisal to identify any planning, zoning or construction considerations, ensuring your new home is perfectly suited to your block of land.

Step 03

Design/ Solution

You’ll receive a complete design solution presentation, including a tailored preliminary tender with your selected inclusions, fittings and fixtures, with preliminary designs finalised within four weeks of your initial deposit.

Step 04

Start your project

Your project is reviewed by our Operations Team while you engage a registered demolition contractor and arrange your electricity pit installation, with demolition recommended only once the Building Surveyor’s preliminary assessment has been received.

Step 05

Tender & design

Preliminary plans are prepared and presented by your New Home Consultant, allowing us to review your tender and finalise any variations as you confirm the final design of your home.

Step 06

Contract Signing

Once your final preliminary tender and selections are approved, we prepare and sign your HIA building contract, with portal access provided to track plans, permits and construction updates, and the balance of the 5% deposit payable upon signing.

Step 07

Colour Selections

Prior to contract signing, you’ll attend a Colour Studio appointment with our Interior Designer, where you’ll be guided through current design trends and selections to reflect your personal style.

Step 08

Approval & Permits

Once your contract is signed and selections are finalised, no further variations can be made and we proceed with obtaining all required approvals and your building permit.

Step 09

Demolish

Once your building permit checklist is approved, your Building Co-Ordinator will confirm when to proceed with service abolishments and demolition, after which we’ll complete surveys, inspections and prepare your site for construction commencement.
