Within the following 7 days you will receive draft copies of all Building Contract documents for your review from our Admin Team. A meeting will be scheduled with the sales consultant that is looking after you, to sign documents when you are ready.

Confirm your finance

Congratulations!!

You have signed your Building Contract documents and we have emailed all, to you and your Bank/Broker to arrange unconditional finance approval for your home loan. Formal finance approval also needs to have taken place to move forward from here.

NOTE: No further structural changes are to be made, after payment of your $3,000 deposit and once the Building Contract file is submitted to the bank. You will have an opportunity to make upgrades at your Selection appointment. In the event that you request for more structural changes to your home design, these will be reviewed and finalised at this appointment. This process might add a further 4 weeks to your timeline as opposed to a ‘Direct to Contract’ build journey.
