Our Process

1. Free Initial Feasibility Report

The first step is to get in touch and send through your property address along with a few photos of the proposed build area. Using Auckland Council GeoMaps and other planning tools, we’ll carry out an initial feasibility assessment to determine whether a minor dwelling is likely to be suitable for your site.

This obligation-free assessment will identify potential planning constraints, services, access requirements and any obvious issues before you spend money on design.


2. Site Visit & Consultation

If your site appears suitable, we’ll arrange a site visit to discuss your goals, budget and vision for the project.

During this meeting we will:

  • Discuss your preferred layout and customisations
  • Assess site access and construction logistics
  • Review landscaping requirements
  • Identify any site-specific challenges
  • Provide more accurate allowances for foundations, service connections and development contributions

This ensures everyone is on the same page before design work begins.


3. Design & Site Reports

Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll engage our designer and any required consultants to prepare your project.

This stage typically includes:

  • Architectural drawings
  • Site-specific engineering (where required)
  • Geotechnical report
  • Stormwater report
  • Flood assessment (if applicable)
  • Building Consent Application (if applicable)

Estimated cost: Approximately $10,000 (assuming no building consent)

Estimated timeframe: 6 weeks


4. Final Pricing & Contract

Once all reports and drawings have been completed, we’ll prepare your final fixed-price quotation.

At this stage we will:

  • Finalise construction pricing
  • Confirm provisional site costs
  • Review the contract together
  • Answer any remaining questions before construction begins

Estimated timeframe: Approximately 2 weeks


5. Construction

Following acceptance of the quotation, we’ll collect the deposit, order materials, establish the site and begin construction.

Progress payments will be made at agreed milestones throughout the build, providing complete transparency throughout the project.

Estimated construction timeframe: Approximately 5 – 7 weeks
