Design Stage

Step 1: Concept Proposal (includes Concept Plan and Initial Estimate)

You will meet with our preferred designer to discuss your new home design.
Using the information discussed, the designer will commence drawing & provide the concept plan for your new home.
Throughout this process, you will be supported by Toby with feedback and suggestions from a professional & practical builder’s perspective. You will be able to make unlimited changes to your plan until we can provide a design that you are happy with.
Upon completion of your concept plan, an Initial estimate will be provided based on a combination of Highwater Homes’ Signature Inclusions & any additional wish list items provided by you.
As an option, take a walk through of your unique luxury custom home builders designed home before it is built.

You are happy that we can provide you with the home that you envisage.
The Preliminary Building Agreement (PBA) is job specific and will include the preparation of architectural drawings suitable for construction, Geotech report, Contour survey, Engineering design build and Site inspection (amongst other items).
After these reports are complete we can provide you with an accurate, fixed price to build prior to signing the contract.
The PBA is specific to each home and is dependent upon the location of the site and requirements of the local council. Further reports that may be required will be detailed in your individual PBA.
