Building Your First Home – Our Process
Building your first home with us is easy. You just follow our Standard Process, which looks a little something like this:
1. Research
Let the journey begin!
Whether you are looking for some style inspiration or your dream home – our website and display homes are the perfect place to start mapping out your home building journey.
Our experienced New Home Consultants are on hand to answer any questions along the way and if you’re looking for land to fit your dream home on, we’ll help source the perfect block.
Best of all, when you choose an eligible house and land package, we can provide you with a fixed price quote, before you pay any money. We can look at the best siting options for your home whilst addressing developer guidelines. This is a great way to ensure you keep to your budget by providing peace of mind up front.
2. Pre-Site Process
Once you have decided on your dream home and location, you’ll receive a personalised free estimate, followed by a preliminary agreement of your new home and tender.
When you are happy to proceed, your full working drawings (plans) and HIA contract will follow.
Now it is time for the real fun to begin – selecting your colours! At the selection stage you’ll make choices suited to your own style and flair. Be it tiles, paint, electrical layout and more, you’ll be spoilt for choice in our showroom.
Following your selections, we’ll finalise all your paperwork and ensure all the relevant approvals are completed to commence construction. This is a pivotal step in the beginning of building your new home!
3. Construction Process
Time to see it all come together. After a site start date has been issued, your Building Supervisor will then become your primary point of contact. Your Supervisor will contact you to arrange a meeting on site where you will discuss the construction of your new home and from there on, provide you with a weekly update on the progress of your home.
The construction process comprises, the house base, frame, external linings and fixing and finally practical completion. Once these stages are complete, you’ll attend your final walk-through inspection to clarify any outstanding items. After all the key milestone stages of building your home are completed, you are at the handover stage where you receive the keys to your dream Coral home!
4. Aftercare
To help you settle in and provide additional peace of mind, we will provide you with a Service & Warranty Program after handover. We will fix any of the minor items which may occur as a result of your new home settling.
Your home is also covered against structural damage by a statutory Builder’s Warranty for a period of 6½ years in QLD and 6 years in NSW.
Coral Homes partners with all the leading building suppliers, meaning we incorporate the highest quality inclusions in your new home and each of which comes with its own manufacturer’s warranty.
