Why This Stage Matters
This stage confirms scope, pricing, and contractual terms upfront. It ensures all parties are aligned before design, approvals, and construction processes begin.
Pre-Construction
100% Complete
The pre-construction stage focuses on planning, approvals, design finalisation, and regulatory compliance. Completing this stage thoroughly is critical to ensuring a smooth build with minimal delays.
Key Pre-Construction Milestones
Contour Survey & Initial Planning
A contour survey was completed to accurately capture site levels and conditions. This information forms the foundation for compliant and buildable design.
Preliminary building plans were prepared based on this data.
Building Plans Finalised & BASIX Completed
All building plans were finalised, with BASIX energy efficiency requirements fully incorporated.
A dedicated Building Coordinator was appointed to manage approvals, coordination, and communication moving forward. The coordinator is supported by an experienced construction and specialist team.

Structural Engineering
Structural engineering documentation was completed and approved, confirming the design meets safety and structural requirements.
Complying Development Certificate (CDC) Process
- CDC application lodged
- CDC approved and issued
This approval confirms the project meets planning and building requirements and is authorised to proceed to construction.
Electrical Planning
Electrical layouts were completed, including Clipsal documentation, allowing informed decisions on power points, lighting, and electrical inclusions.
Design Hub / Colour Selections
Finishes, colours, and design selections were finalised, ensuring clarity and consistency before construction begins.
Finance Approval

Current Status
All pre-construction requirements are complete.
The project has passed all planning, compliance, financial, and internal governance checks and is construction ready.
Next Stage: Construction
The project is now transitioning into the construction phase. The Building Coordinator will:
- confirm final administrative items,
- coordinate construction scheduling, and
- provide regular progress updates throughout the build.
Support remains available at every stage to ensure clarity and confidence moving forward.
