The SHAPE Process
We understand that building a new home is likely your biggest lifetime investment and Shape Homes is here to guide you. We manage every detail from planning to delivery, organising contractors and timelines while keeping you informed throughout.
S - Share your vision
This initial meeting is all about understanding you and how you live in your space. We'll visit you on site to get a clear sense of your vision and goals for the project.
From there, we'll develop design concepts and provide cost estimates, giving you a realistic overview of what to expect moving forward.
H - House Design & Pricing
Once you decide on a concept design we will work to hone this further, providing you with an actual build cost and contract. You will have opportunities to make changes to your plans so that they fit within your budget and timeframe. This stage ensures all details are covered so we can provide you with a clear plan moving forward.
A - Approve
Once happy with the design and pricing you will sign a NZ Certified Builders contract, pay a 10% deposit and your plans will be lodged for consent with your local council. We provide you with a build schedule and access to our client portal so you know exactly what is going to be happening on site, and when.
P - Project in Motion
The exciting part- this is where you will see your new home take shape. We manage the entire process from services to site and earthworks, right up to where we hand you the keys to your brand new home. Weekly build updates will be provided through the client portal and we will continue to guide you through the process keeping you informed at each step.
E - Enjoy your new home
Time to celebrate! This is where we hand you the keys to your brand new home, finished to the highest standard and with a HALO 10 year guarantee. But it’s not goodbye just yet, we’ll stay in touch to ensure you're completely satisfied with your new home and are here if you need support after the build is complete.
