Process questions
How long does the pre-site process take?
In short, generally 3-4 months from our first site visit to gaining approvals for the build.
The timeline depends on factors like how quickly you make decisions, as well as any site-specific applications or restrictions, such as town planning, relaxations, and BOS applications. Here’s a typical timeline:
- Surveyor: Provides the survey within 2 weeks of the initial site visit.
Once I receive her plans and conduct my site measure, whichever comes last,
- First Draft: Sent within 2 weeks after receiving the survey plans and completing the site measure.
- Subsequent Drafts: Turnaround is significantly quicker.
- Engineer: Takes 2 weeks to complete their part.
- Final Plans: Provided within 1 week after the engineer’s work is done.
- Builder Contract: Now is the time to get your builder to provide the contract.
- Certifier Approval: Takes up to 1 month, depending on the involved applications.
