Our Process

• Free site inspection and consultation. We carefully assess your site, discuss your preferences and needs to ensure we understand how you would like to live in your home, now and in the future.   We explain the whole process so that you know what to expect, which we agree in writing.

• Quotation.  Once we have conducted a site inspection, our team will provide you with a quote based on your site specific requirements and choice of Kairos Enviro Home.

• Contract.  It’s time to begin the design and approval phase! This includes signing the pre-construction agreement and requires you to pay the design deposit.

• Design Process. This is the fun part! We will work on the final design of your project which includes the concept plan, detailed plans and final specifications to ensure your Kairos Enviro Home is built to the highest standard and adheres to all necessary regulations. Once complete, we sign off on a final design and the Kairos Enviro Home nominated builder is appointed.

• Soil Test. It is mandatory to have a soil test for every home site.  Every site is different and this test assesses the soil composition which determines the footings required.  Soil test results will determine final site costs.

• Building Engineered Drawings. Engineered drawings will be completed in accordance with the soil test and site condition.  Prior to lodgement at Council/submission to Building Certifiers, a further consultation takes place with you for any final adjustment of the plans and engineered drawings if required.

• Council Approval. We will prepare and submit your application to your local council/Building Certifier for approval. We look after all the paperwork including council approval, building permits and certification and liaise with Council Town Planners and other professionals and authorities on your behalf.

• Building Contract.  Upon Council approval, the balance of the design fee is due and the building contract is signed.  This is an industry standard contract and protects both parties throughout the construction of your new Kairos Enviro Home.  Prior to commencement of work a 5% construction deposit is required to be paid to the builder.

• Construction.  Once your contract has been signed, construction of your Kairos Enviro Home commences and is usually completed within approximately 13 weeks.

• Installation & Completion.  On completion of your Kairos Enviro Home we undertake final quality control checks and invite you to an onsite meeting to ensure you are completely happy with the finished project.
