The 6 Stages Of The Build
-
Base Stage. The first stage includes site preparation and foundations. This includes levelling, excavating, pouring the concrete slab and/or construction of foundations as well as any underground connections that are required such as drainage, plumbing and electrical systems. Expect this stage to last anywhere from one to two weeks.
-
Frame-Up. This stage is all about the construction of the walls, roof trusses and framing on your house plan. The duration of this stage is approximately two weeks (weather dependent).
-
Lock-Up. As expected, this stage is when the exterior of the home gets completed to the point where the building is watertight and can be locked. This stage includes the installation of windows, external doors, guttering, roofing iron or coverings, brickwork and walls. Often builders may spilt this stage into two stages ‘Roof On’ and ‘Lock-Up’. Allow approximately six to seven weeks for the lock-up stage (weather dependent).
-
Fixing And Fitting. Once the building is watertight and dry, the fixing and fitting stage commences. This involves working on all the internal features of your home such as wall plastering, ceilings, skirting boards, internal doors, painting, tapware, showers, baths, and all plumbing and electrical requirements. The fixing and fitting stage duration depends greatly on the availability of individual contractors and sourcing of products, but as a general guide, this stage will take around six to eight weeks.
-
Practical Completion. Once all of the home’s fixtures and fittings have been installed, the last jobs are the installation of the kitchen, tiling, floor coverings, completing the final fit off and cleaning. At this point the house is fully operational, this is called "Practical Completion". However, before you can move in you require one final sign off from the Council – the Code of Compliance Certificate. This certificate states that the final product matches that of the submitted plans and that the house is good to go. Allow approximately three to five weeks for this stage.
-
Handover. This is when your builder provides you with the keys to your new home and you can move in. This stage is usually immediately after receiving the official Code of Compliance certification from the Council. As part of the build process, you should also receive post-construction and structural assurances lasting anywhere from 3 to 12 months where you can get the builder to fix any issues that may arise after the build is complete.
