Absolute Homes’ Build Process

New Zealand Certified Builders

Building shouldn’t be a stressful process – we’ll make sure you don’t have anything to worry about. With Absolute Homes, you’ll be working with an experienced team who take a hands-on approach at every stage of your build, from concept to completion.

Absolute Homes will be ready with solutions and answers, right when you need them. You’ll easily be able to track how your build is progressing, and be confident that everything is going to plan.

  • 1. Contact and meet us

    Building a home can seem daunting, which is why we like to begin by explaining how we can help and what’s required to get started.

  • 2. Know your numbers

    You’ll need to meet with your bank to understand your budget and what you can afford.

  • 3. We can help you find a section

    If you need to find a suitable section we’ll discuss your requirements, including your budget. Whilst we love being a part of your dream from this point, Absolute Homes can also work just as well with a new build on your pre-purchased section.

  • 4. Catch-up with our design consultant

    We organise a meeting with Absolute Homes’ design consultant to ensure we capture your requirements and maximise your aspirations, without blowing your budget. This is where it starts to get really exciting – for all of us!

  • 5. Meeting to confirm your plans and discuss next steps

    We catch up in person to go over the plans, discuss the final costs and inclusions, and answer any other questions you may have, or any changes you wish to make. We’ll also explain the rest of the build process and make sure you’re happy with everything before you sign with us.

  • 6. Insurance cover

    We have full insurance in place to cover both business and contracts works – providing further peace of mind for you and Absolute Homes.

  • 7. NZ Certified Builders contract & section settled

    Absolute Homes compiles a New Zealand Certified Builders contract based on our confirmed discussion – including plans, dates and costs. We’ll work with you to settle on your section, then to move forward, we’ll request a 10% deposit.

  • 8. Things get official!

    Absolute Homes’ architect completes a full set of drawings, then submits your concept new build plan to the Council for consent. Current Council consent times are around 4-6 weeks.

  • 9. Turning your dream into reality

    We’ll introduce you to Absolute Homes’ Design Consultant. She’ll work with you to organise colours, fixtures and fittings, to help make sure you enjoy this part of the build process too.

  • 10. Consent issued & build begins

    You’ll receive a build schedule from the project manager, which shows all the project milestones. The site is set up, the carpenters arrive, and the build begins! 

  • 11. Progress payments

    Absolute Homes conducts all business using the New Zealand Certified Builders contract – so we must include progress payments in the Building Contract (paid by you in stages throughout the build). This also ensures you only pay for work that has been completed.
