Building Process

Step 1: Inspect your site

We begin the building process by assessing your land so that we ensure that your new home siting will comply with all necessary regulations. To do this we undertake a site inspection, conduct a bore hole soil test, prepare a zoning certificate, and prepare a comprehensive contour survey of your land.


Step 2: Your Tender

A member of our Client Service Administration Team will contact you to arrange a suitable time during business hours to meet at our office where you will be presented your New Home Tender. After viewing your New Home Tender any final changes are then discussed with your Tender Presenter.
Once you have accepted your Tender, a Colour Selection folder will be presented to you for your consideration and selection prior to your Colour Appointment.  A sample copy of the HIA Building Agreement will be provided to you.


Step 3: Your Building Contract

During this step you will enter into a building agreement with Clarendon Homes.  this allows plenty of time to finalise arrangements with your lending authority, to ensure that all necessary documentation is available prior to construction commencement.


Step 4: External Colour Appointment

This is now the time you will finalise external colours, air conditioning, kitchen, stair selection and your BASIX commitments. It is imperative to have selected your brick at the brick company before your External Colour Appointment otherwise your appointment can not proceed.

Step 5: Expert Reports for Council or CDC Lodgement

Clarendon Homes obtains all reports to support your application to Council and Developer if applicable.  Once all necessary documentation is completed we will prepare and lodge your application to Council or Private Certifier for approvals.

 Step6: Internal Colour & Materials Selection

Now is the exciting time to finalise your internal colour selection, ceramic tile selection, security system, electrical layout and add finishing touches. One of our experienced Colour Consultants will contact you to arrange for an appointment at our Colour Studio. Our Consultant will work with you in choosing your inclusions and internal finishes. It is important that you are familiar with your choices and colours for your new home before the meeting as this will assist in the outcome.

Step 7: Building Approval and Site Start

Upon receiving Council Construction Certificate or Private Certifier4s approval your construction plan incorporating all variations will be forwarded to you for approval.  Clarendon will then prepare your file for a site start.
