Home builders have to follow certain steps to complete the construction successfully. All builders have to mandatorily follow these steps. So, today we will be discussing them in ‘stages’. Thus, if you are in Sydney or the Blacktown suburb and planning to build a home for yourself, go through the points mentioned here to know more about how homes are built in Australia. After that, if you have questions, prepare a list so that you can get them solved one by one by your friendly builders.

Pre-Construction Strategy 

In this phase, you will need to finalise everything with your local home builders in Sydney or the suburb where you are situated. Here, the organisation of paperwork, legal documents, final planning, etc. are being done by the builders. Also, if you want any final modifications such as a change in colour, structural change, etc., you will need to sort them out with the builders. 

Finally, after settling out the legalities and signing the final contract, the builders will start home construction in stages.

• The Base Stage

In this stage, the Sydney home builders will prepare the land on which your home will be built. This includes excavations, levelling, establishing underground connections such as electrical wires, plumbing framework, stormwater system, etc. After that, they will pour the concrete slab, and this will bring an end to the first stage.

• The Frame Stage

Now, the builders will form the basic frame of your home. This includes construction and marking of the walls, roof trusses apart from door and window frames. Then, after the frames are installed at the specified areas, a qualified survey is performed for the approval of the same.

• The Lock-up Stage

This is a very important stage where the construction of the external parts of your home is being carried out by the builders. Basically, this involves constructing the shape of the house accurately. And if this is done accurately, your future house extensions in Sydney or any of its other suburbs where you are situated will look perfect. Otherwise, they will not appear impressive.

In this stage, the builders also prepare spaces that can later be used for ducted air conditioning, security system installations, etc.

• Fixing and Fit-Off Stage

In the fixing stage, the house builders in Sydney will fix ceilings, plasters, stairs, skirting boards, kitchen, cabinetry, etc. apart from waterproofing the various areas. In the fit-off stage, however, the builders will emphasise fitting the shelves, cabinetry, showers, mirrors, garage doors, etc.

• Home Inspection

In this stage, a home inspection is being done by an expert after the fitting of the various things is over. However, if any defects are found, the builders will fix them. After that, a re-inspection will be performed and if the results turn out to be satisfactory, the home is considered to be ready.

• Handover

This is the last stage where the home is handed over by the builders. And after that, you can make extra modifications or create another house extension in Blacktown or the suburb where you are situated.

So, these are the six stages of home building, and now that you know them, make a list of the questions to clear your doubts.
