Casagrande Homes

Pre-Construction

Once you have decided on a block of land, paid the deposit and awaiting the bank to approve loan/mortgage for the land, it is time to work on a personalised design for your dream home.
Depending on your requirements – type of home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, additional features and the block’s dimensions – shape, size, frontage, and slope; our inhouse team will design a concept plan.
Upon approval of façade and concept design, we will provide with a detailed quote including supplies, provisions and construction (building) services included in the build.
Discussion of quote would result in required changes and consequent acceptance of quote.
A contract with all terms and conditions of the build will be discussed with you for your approval and signature nominating Casagrande Homes as your designated builder.
Once Casagrande Homes has been appointed as the constructor of the build, a token amount (deposit) should be paid by the client to initiate drafting and floorplan design work for their home.
Our in-house team will prepare architectural plans and drawings, structural plans for Development Application approval or Complying Development Certificate. Over the following couple of weeks, these sketches and illustrations will be thoroughly discussed with the client for their inputs. All resulting alterations will receive a final approval from the client and the plans will be submitted to the council for design approval. Client to pay 5% deposit whilst awaiting plan and design approval.
Council will return with their approvals, following which you will apply for a construction loan with council approved design and for the building process. Once the loan application is approved, Casagrande Homes will start preparing the site for slab and footings.

Construction Process

Clearing the Site

Prior to commencement of the actual construction of the property, a site needs to be prepared for construction of the dwelling. Site works may include: removal of trees, cutting, filling and ground leveling, site analysis.

Slab and Footings Stage

Once the site is ready, it is measured and set out as per the plans. This is followed by excavation of footings, placing meshes and under floor drainage pipes to the sewer. Foundation slab is poured with under slab drainage, meshes for termite protection and moisture barrier. Later sewage drains are installed to connect pipes to the sewer.

Frame Stage

Next stage involves installation of external and internal structural frame of the home. This includes wooden framework of walls and roof, brickwork for walls, roofing with insulation and gutters, electrical works and plumbing.

Lock-up stage

The lock-up stage is a significant milestone in the journey of building a home. Here we complete installation of external walls and external windows and doors. This stage provides a visual of how the home will look like when completed. It allows for the home to be securely locked in order to proceed with internal fit-outs.

Internal Work Stage

At this stage, internal structure of home starts to take shape and multiple trades get worked on simultaneously – plumbing, flooring, electrical work, carpentry, shelving and much more.

Final build Stage

This stage involves paintwork, installation of heating and air-conditioning system, internal and external lighting fixtures, bathroom and kitchen fit-outs and finishing touches to any other remaining work. External work of building a concrete driveway, installation of mailbox and clothesline, landscaping are all completed in this stage.

Handover Stage

Now the home is ready for final inspection. Upon receiving satisfactory results from the building inspector, the home is signed off, final settlement of payment is done and keys are handed over.

Post Settlement stage

In order to avoid incidents of theft, all the remaining appliances are installed post settlement when you are ready to move into your new home.
