Our Process
01. Design
We begin by translating your vision into detailed conceptual designs, ensuring every functional and aesthetic requirement is met with precision.
02. Planning
Our team handles all logistics, approvals, and material sourcing to create a clear roadmap for a seamless construction phase.
03. Build
Construction is executed with unparalleled craftsmanship, focusing on structural integrity and the highest level of finishing.
Our PAC Process
What Is the PAC Process?
PAC, short for Paid as Consultant, involves engaging a builder early in the project—typically during the design or pre-construction stage—to provide professional advice before the plans are finalised.
Early builder involvement can help identify construction challenges, assess feasibility, provide preliminary cost guidance and highlight decisions that may affect the budget. For many clients, it is also an opportunity to build a relationship with us as the preferred builder before construction begins and reduce the risk of unexpected costs later.
The PAC model is the way to minimise design mistakes, improve buildability and keep the project aligned with the available desired job spend or budget. The main difference is that PAC moves away from the traditional design–tender–build process. Under the traditional model, the design and documentation are completed before being issued to several builders for competitive pricing often without the same scope of works, specifications, inclusions or quality With PAC, we help before the design is complete and become involved in the project’s early planning and decision-making.
We often meet clients who have already fallen in love with their home design, only to be disappointed when the construction pricing comes back significantly higher than they expected. This is some we want to avoid and keep peoples dream on track
The PAC Process Benefits
For Clients
On budget – From the outset, we provide clear cost guidance to help shape a design that not only suits your vision, but also remains realistic and achievable within your budget.
Targets are met - With fewer road bumps and much more oversight on the entire process, our team can not only iron out issues as they arise, but foresee them before they start. Building is complex, but a PAC Process allows us to make for a much smoother build for you and everyone involved
At this stage, you’re not locked into a building contract, giving you the opportunity to work with us, understand how we operate and make sure we’re the right fit before making a major financial commitment. With greater clarity around costs, design and construction from the outset, you can make informed decisions and adjustments along the way without unnecessarily compromising your vision or budget.
For the Architect / Designer
Our process provides real-time cost feedback throughout design development, helping ensure concepts remain aligned with the project budget from the outset.
We work collaboratively with the design team to test ideas against construction costs, buildability and site conditions, while also providing support with site investigations, existing home inspections and consultant coordination where required.
Clear communication and streamlined documentation throughout the process help reduce unnecessary redesign, delays and budget surprises.
The result: stronger, more considered design outcomes that are practical to build, financially achievable and aligned with the client’s vision.
For the Us/ The Builder
Early involvement allows us to develop a clear understanding of the design, project objectives and client expectations well before construction begins. This leads to more accurate pricing, better buildability input and greater confidence around scope, selections and programme.
Working closely with the client and their designer from the outset also helps us build stronger, more collaborative relationships. By establishing clear communication and trust early, we can protect the design intent throughout construction, resolve issues more efficiently and create a more cohesive project team.
Early involvement also supports improved pipeline planning and start-date coordination, while reducing the risk of variations through clearer scoping and earlier selection finalisation.
The result: a builder who is informed, prepared and fully aligned — with Clients, Designers, Trades giving clearer communication and a smoother transition from design to handover
