Building a home is an exciting journey, but not all blocks are created equal. Some come with a little extra character, steep slopes, uneven terrain, or tricky access. While these challenges can put many builders off, at Prescom Constructions, we see them as opportunities to create truly unique, stunning homes.
It’s no wonder some builders shy away from them. But for us, it’s where we thrive.
Our Speciality: Turning Challenges into Achievements
At Prescom Constructions, we’ve built a reputation for tackling challenging sites head-on. We combine years of hands-on experience, innovative solutions, and close collaboration with engineers and designers to deliver homes that make the most of every contour.
We don’t believe steep sites should limit your dream home. Instead, we turn them into an advantage – opening up possibilities for breathtaking views, clever multi-level designs, and homes that feel truly connected to their surroundings.
Avalon
Nestled on a steep coastal slope, this project demanded precision planning and execution. The steep gradient and limited access required innovative construction methods, but the reward was worth it, a stunning multi-level home that captures sweeping views and makes the most of every inch of the block. This project proves that even the most daunting land can deliver breathtaking results.
Como - Our Recent Project
In Como, the challenge was balancing structural stability with elegant design. With a steep site and tight working conditions, every stage needed careful coordination. The result? A home that steps down the land naturally, blending beautifully into its surroundings while offering our clients a home that’s both functional and striking.
Difficult sites often lead to extraordinary results. Whether it’s a multi-level home that captures the best of the view, or clever outdoor spaces that work with the natural slope, we’ll ensure your property is both functional and breathtaking.
If you’re sitting on a tricky block and planning on upgrading your home, let’s chat about how we can bring your dream home to life.
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.
