What Happens Before I Start Building My Home?

Building a new home requires a solid foundation to any successful project. From securing necessary permits to finalising your choices, the steps taken before construction begins can significantly streamline the entire process. After all, good planning is half the work. To give you a clearer picture of what happens before the actual building starts, our reliable team at Yorcon has put together this list of essential tasks.

Plans & Documentation

We understand that getting all the required permits might not be the most thrilling aspect of your project. That's why we offer to handle all permit-related tasks for you, including town planning, demolition, and building permits. We can also assist with additional council documentation, structural plans, energy rating documentation, or any other paperwork required for a building permit application.

Making your selections

Some alterations are inevitable in any home build, but making your choices early on can help minimise these changes. This is why we recommend working with an organised architectural builder who will discuss your options with you sooner rather than later. At Yorcon, one of our initial meetings with you will be the design and specification consultation, where we'll talk about inclusions and specifications. Consider:

• The number of bedrooms you require

• The design of your kitchen

• Your dining and living room layouts

• The design of your outdoor living space

• The number of floors

• The specific fixtures

• Areas to be tiled

• The brand of timber flooring

• Home appliances

While this stage is exciting, we're acutely aware of the significant financial commitment involved in building a home. We'll identify areas where we can help you save money by choosing alternative materials, products, or methods without compromising on quality.

Open communication with your builder

Building a new home involves numerous technical aspects, and it's only natural that you'll have a lot of questions. That's why it's crucial to choose a builder who is not only knowledgeable and competent but also transparent in their communication with you. It's reassuring to know that your home is ready for construction with everything properly set up. At Yorcon, we'll provide you with a comprehensive project specification list tailored specifically to your needs. You'll have a thorough understanding of your project from the beginning until the handover. This includes working plans of your new home with internal elevations, electrical plans, and flooring finishes, allowing you to visualise your dream home. Our construction process are supported by a team of professionals who are ready to provide advice and assistance. With Yorcon, you can rest assured that your dream home is in capable hands.
