Building your home is one of the most fulfilling and exciting experiences, but it can also be challenging if not well-guided. At Prescom Constructions, we appreciate the housing dream and how it feels to be on the journey of constructing your dream home. We could talk about how building or renovating is a collaborative project, including building, owner, architects, and sub-trades.
1. Planning and Design
The first step is when all the conceptualisation turns into a feasible plan. Coordinate with our knowledgeable architects and designers to develop a viable architectural plan that suits your aims. It is also the time to source funds and obtain the necessary permits from your local authorities to ascertain that your buildings conform to the NSW construction laws.
2. Approval and Permits
Council approvals can be complex; however, our staff can assist you. All necessary approvals are sought through Development Control (DA) to Construction Certificate (CC), following the legal requirements of New South Wales building regulations.
3. Site Preparation
Once approvals are in place, site preparation begins. This involves clearing the land, levelling it, and setting up the foundation. It’s an exciting phase as you start to see the groundwork for your home.
4. Construction
The construction phase is where your dream takes shape. We bring together the structural elements, from the framework to the roof, ensuring every detail aligns with our extensive quality control checklist. At this stage, regular site visits allow you to witness the progress and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Final Inspection and Handover
Before handing over the keys, a final inspection is conducted to ensure everything meets your expectations and complies with NSW regulations. Once approved, your home is ready for you to move in and create lasting memories.
"Building a home is not just about bricks and mortar; it's about creating the foundation for your future, a place where dreams take shape and memories are built."
At Prescom Constructions, we're more than just builders; we're partners in your journey to create a home that reflects who you are. If you're ready to take the first step towards building your dream home. Let's make your vision a reality together.
Prime Costs (PC) and Provisional Sums (PS) are essential terms in construction quotes. Prime Costs cover allowances for materials like fixtures or appliances that haven't been selected yet, offering flexibility but potentially leading to additional costs if more expensive options are chosen. Provisional Sums are estimates for work not fully defined when quoting, like excavation or retaining walls, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Understanding the distinction helps homeowners manage budgets and avoid surprises during the building process.

A pre-handover inspection is crucial when taking possession of a new home to ensure any issues or defects are addressed before the final settlement. Key areas to check include the structural integrity (e.g., walls, floors), fittings and fixtures (e.g., taps, doors, windows), kitchen appliances, bathroom tiles and plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes like paintwork and flooring. By thoroughly inspecting these aspects, homeowners can prevent costly repairs later and ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
