The Build Process

Listening to Your Needs, Planning Your Future, Creating Your Dream

At VCM Consulting, we specialise in making your dream home a reality through our carefully designed and proven building process. Our process is divided into three key phases: Pre-Construction, Construction, and Post-Construction. Each phase is integral to crafting a home meeting and exceeding your expectations.

Vision and Planning

Your journey begins with us understanding your lifestyle, what's important to you, and your vision for your future. Our custom home designs are lifestyle-driven, and we collaborate with you to translate your ideas and dreams into detailed plans and designs.

Budgeting and Permits

We establish a preliminary budget, setting a firm foundation for the project. We also navigate the intricate process of securing the necessary building permits, meticulously adhering to local regulations and standards, and ensuring that every aspect of your project is compliant and approved.

Material and Colour Selections

This phase involves exploring a wide range of options for both interior and exterior elements, ensuring that every aspect of your home reflects your taste and lifestyle. From the texture of the walls to the colour of the roof, every choice you make adds a distinct touch to your living space, making it your own.

Construction Schedule and Management

We develop a detailed schedule, ensuring every aspect of the project is perfectly timed. Our team manages each construction element, from foundational work to final finishes, ensuring everything is completed to the highest standard. This comprehensive management encompasses coordinating with skilled tradespeople, sourcing materials, and implementing rigorous quality checks, guaranteeing that every corner of your home is built to last and reflects excellence in craftsmanship.

Final Milestones and Inspection

As construction approaches its final stages, we ensure you are kept well-informed with regular updates. These updates detail the progress and any necessary changes, focusing on the finishing touches being added to your home. 

45 days before the scheduled possession date, you will receive a letter confirming when your home will be ready. Our communication strategy is designed to make the transition to your new home seamless, keeping you informed about every vital detail leading up to the final handover.

Possession and Warranty

Upon possession, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough with you to identify and address any deficiencies. This process ensures your home meets our high standards. 

Our post-construction warranty offers long-term assurance, covering two years for delivery systems, five years for the building envelope, and ten years for structural integrity. You can schedule warranty services as needed or anytime before the 2nd anniversary of your possession date, ensuring your peace of mind and satisfaction with every aspect of your new home.
