Building a Hunter Home

After your handover from the Sales Team, your Contracts Administrator is busily working behind the scenes to order the documentation required to prepare your plans and pricing. Your Contracts Administrator will then arrange a meeting at our Head Office to present you with your Contract Plans and Consolidated Tender.

After you’ve reviewed and approved your plans and tender, you will proceed by paying and entering into a Secondary Preliminary Agreement. Note: this payment will be deducted from the total cost of your home. You will then sign off on your Contract Plan, Consolidated Tender, and Secondary Preliminary Agreement, finalising the agreement between you and Hunter Homes.

After you have accepted the contents of the Consolidated Tender and Contract Plans, Hunter Homes will issue you a standard HIA NSW Residential Building Contract for New Dwellings and HIA General Housing Specifications. Once you have signed your contract documents, you’ll be given access to the Hunter Homes Client Portal, where you can begin preselecting your colours and stay updated on the progress of your new home journey

Once your contract has been signed all relevant applications will be prepared and lodged for approval by our in-house Certification Coordinators. Our Client Liaison Team will notify you once the relevant approvals have been received and we will keep you up to date on the progress of your applications throughout this process.

If, however, your land is not yet registered everything will be prepared and ready to be lodged once your land has registered and settlement is complete.

This is often considered the fun part. After reviewing the options to choose from and preselecting your colours on your Hunter Homes Client Portal you will meet with our experienced Colour Consultant where you will have the opportunity to select from a great range of colours and products to bring your new home to life.

Another exciting part of the journey is the inclusion of lighting and electrical in your Colour Selection Appointment. Our Colour Consultant will guide you through the selection process so you can choose exactly what works for your lifestyle allowing you and your family to live with heart.

It is at this stage Hunter Homes requests the balance of deposit and once received, we will begin the construction of your new home. You will have the opportunity to meet onsite with your Building Supervisor throughout the building journey. Your Site Liaison will provide you with weekly updates as well as remaining your point of contact throughout.

This very moment the dream of building your new home will start to become a reality as your new home is officially underway!

Here is where your dream starts taking shape, and where we lay the foundations of your new home. Your home is marked out and prepared for the slab. Once complete, you will be able to meet your Site Supervisor onsite.

At this stage the wall frames, roof trusses and windows will be installed. You will be provided an opportunity to walk through your home with your Site Supervisor once this stage is also complete.

The installation of your external materials now happens. You will also see roof and gutters appear along with electrical and plumbing. Again, you will be provided with the opportunity to walk through your home with your Site Supervisor.

Your gyprock is installed at this stage, and tiling commences, as well as the installation of cabinetry in your kitchen and bathroom. At this stage we also commence painting.

This is the point where your dream kitchen and bathrooms will start to take shape. Again, we will provide you with an opportunity to walk through your home.

This is where the trades will return to site and install all your fittings and fixtures. At this stage, your flooring will be installed (if applicable) ready for your final walk through with your Site Supervisor.

This is the part that the team here at Hunter Homes love the most! This is the day where you will receive the keys to your brand-new Hunter Home. Your Site Liaison will arrange a mutually convenient time to meet with you at our Head Office to take you through all necessary documentation such as operation manuals and warranty information.

Congratulations and Welcome Home!!

The service from the team at Hunter Homes continues even after construction is complete, as we believe it is just as important as the construction phase. Any minor maintenance items that occur within the 13-week maintenance period will be attended to by your Maintenance Supervisor.
