Do I need my own block of land?

We can work with you if you have already purchased your land.  We do have spec homes under construction therefore it may be convenient to take a look at what is currently under construction and for sale if you have not yet obtained land.

How do I obtain my house plans?

We can work with you to develop your dream home.  We have a very experienced and reliable draftsman who we highly recommend to design your home to suit your land shape/size, and your desired requirements.

Can I make changes during construction?

Some changes can be made depending on what they are and what stage the construction has reached.  Some changes will require an agreed variation document in place and may incur additional fees.
