As winter winds down and we welcome in the longer, sunnier days of spring, there’s a sense of renewal in the air. It’s the season that naturally inspires fresh starts, which makes it the perfect time to begin planning or launching your home building or renovation project.
At Prescom Constructions, spring is one of our busiest and most exciting times of the year. Whether you're dreaming of a new outdoor entertaining area, a second-storey addition, or even building your forever home from the ground up, spring offers the perfect conditions to bring those ideas to life.
Here’s why you should consider kicking off your project with us this spring:
Spring represents growth, new beginnings, and change and that mindset often extends into the home. Many homeowners feel energised and motivated after a slower winter, ready to take on the next big thing.
It’s the perfect time to dust off the ideas you’ve been sitting on and turn them into real plans. Whether it’s expanding the family home, giving your kitchen a much-needed facelift, or finally building that dream alfresco area, now is the time to act.
One of the biggest advantages of building in spring is the milder weather. The more consistent temperatures and lower likelihood of extreme weather events (compared to summer heat or winter rains) create more reliable working conditions for our trades on site.
This helps keep timelines on track, reduces weather-related delays, and ultimately means a smoother, more efficient building process. If you're starting a new build or major renovation, this can make a big difference in how quickly we get things done.
Here in Australia, outdoor living is a big part of our lifestyle and it only becomes more important as we head into the warmer months. A deck, pergola, or covered entertaining area built in spring will be ready to enjoy all summer long.
At Prescom, we specialise in crafting beautiful, functional outdoor spaces that add value to your home and enhance your lifestyle. Imagine enjoying Christmas lunch outside under your new pergola or having mates over for a summer BBQ on your brand-new timber deck all because you started your build in spring.
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.
