Initial Consultation &

Site Meeting

• We’ll visit the site and consider any areas of concern. We consider a range of aspects such as overhead power lines, sewer lines, character overlays and boundary perimeters.
• Discuss your ideas, wants & wishes. Consider the slope of the land and direction in which you wish to build.
• You are encouraged to bring along any photos, Pinterest ideas or any material that will allow our team to envision your dream. 

Estimation

Cost & Plans

• Two weeks to create a preliminary estimate from discussion
• Ballpark figure which includes, concept and construction plans, certification/approval, soil tests, survey as well as any potential engineering fees.
• Gives a perspective of Matchett Constructions costing. 

Preliminary

Agreement

• If the you then wish to proceed, a preliminary agreement which covers plans, soil test, surveys and all building/land searches and approvals will be given to you.
• This does not lock you in to build with Matchett constructions. It acknowledges payment for the above-mentioned work, and once completed will be handed over in a complete file with all approved documents waiting for the final go ahead from you.

Pricing
Breakdown

• While the above process is taking place, we will be able to start pricing your dream home or renovations off the concept plans.
• This allows Matchett Constructions to narrow down the price to a more accurate figure.
• If you are happy to proceed, full construction plans and engineering will begin.

Selections

Interior Design

• We have dedicated interior designers to your project.
• They make the whole process of picking tiles, paint, kitchen, and cabinetry so easy.
• We'll also be very conscious of budget during this time to ensure you achieve the look you want, in budget.
  

Master Builders

Contract

• Once we have received all selections, engineering and full construction plans we will then proceed to write up our Master Builders QLD contract for your viewing.
• Once signed we then proceed with the deposit invoice.

Council

Submission & Approval

• Once the contract is signed, we then lodge everything with the council.
• As council proceeds with the approval, we finalise the finer details of the build from selections to minor changes.

Under Construction- Matchett Constructions App

• Once construction is underway Matchett Constructions clients have full access to the Matchett Constructions App. You can find this on the Matchett Constructions website.
• This app gives you full access to the project with a click of the button on your phone or desktop. You can view all details from the budget (invoices outstanding, paid, and upcoming), the selections you have made as well as daily updates via photos and notes made by the builder during the build process.  You are also encouraged to communicate to the builder through this app, via a communication section where you can make notes and write emails as well as attach photos to discuss with the builder while they are on site.
• The program also has an inbuilt schedule where you can view the progress of the build and what is happening on certain days of the week and the projected finish date so you can prepare for your move in date.
  

Handover

• One of the most exciting parts of the journey!
• We organise a meeting to run over all features of the build, from appliances to home automation. As well as having a detailed inspection of each room so you can note small defects. Any noted can be fixed before move in.
• Handover of all warranties, certificates, manuals.
• And most importantly this is where we hand over the keys so you can enjoy all your hard work and dedication.
