Discover the SANDEMAN Build Client Journey

If you’ve ever wondered how to transform your dream home vision into reality—while enjoying peace of mind at every step—this guide is for you.

At SANDEMAN Build, we believe the journey should be as rewarding as the result. That’s why we’ve created a refined, step-by-step experience that puts clarity, craftsmanship, and care at the heart of everything we do.


Step 1: Discovery – It All Begins With You

Every beautiful custom home starts with a conversation. We begin with a relaxed Discovery Call, where we listen to your goals, inspirations, and what “home” means to you. This is followed by a personal In-House Meeting, where we build a connection and establish a shared vision—focusing on how your home can reflect your lifestyle.


Step 2: Concept – Turning Ideas Into Blueprints

With your vision clearly understood, we move into concept development. A Design Brief Meeting helps us shape priorities and family needs, followed by a site visit to evaluate conditions, orientation, and environmental factors.

We then prepare a Concept Agreement covering initial costs and expectations, before delivering concept drawings that capture the character, function, and soul of your future home.


Step 3: Agreements – Mapping Out the Build

Once your concept is approved, we make it official. A Planning Inclusion Agreement includes engineering assessments, site testing, and detailed construction plans—ensuring compliance and sustainability, including a minimum 7-star energy rating.

We also guide you through an Interior Design Consultation and Selection Appointment to define the aesthetic of your home with high-end finishes and premium materials. A Preliminary Building Agreement confirms a job-specific, fixed-price proposal—free of hidden surprises.

Step 4: Contract – Bringing Your Vision to Paper

You’ll receive a draft of the Master Builders contract, outlining scope, timelines, and budget in precise detail. Once everything aligns, we finalise the agreement via secure digital signing—easy, convenient, and transparent.


Step 5: Approval – Full Compliance, Zero Hassle

We handle all permits, council approvals, and planning logistics so you don’t have to. You’ll also gain access to your online client portal, where you can track build milestones, see progress photos, and communicate directly with our team.


Step 6: Build – Watch Your Home Take Shape

Now the magic happens. Your build is managed in clear stages:

Base & Foundation – Structural groundwork and utilities

Framing – Roof, walls, and internal structure

Lock-Up – Weatherproofing with windows, cladding, and roof

Fit-Out – Internal systems and finishes

Practical Completion – Final detailing and rigorous quality checks

Throughout construction, our on-site team and project manager ensure that every detail is executed with precision.


Step 7: Handover – Keys to Your New Beginning

We guide you through a full walkthrough of your new home, checking every finish and feature together. You’ll receive homeowner manuals, warranties, and practical advice—ensuring you feel confident from day one.


Step 8: Support – We’re Still With You

Our commitment doesn’t end at handover. We return for a 3-month maintenance check, addressing any post-settlement tweaks. Plus, you’re backed by our six-month defect liability period and a six-year structural guarantee.

Your Journey, Your Dream, Our Promise

At SANDEMAN Build, your home is more than a structure—it’s your sanctuary. And your experience with us should reflect that. From the very first call to long after you move in, we’re with you every step of the way.
