Build Process

Step 1. Design

 

After our initial introduction meeting we will introduce you to one of our designers who will then work with you to create your dream home. An initial Concept Draft is important to get on paper as once this is complete you have a starting point. This is where you get to compile all your ideas, inspiration, likes and dislikes. We will also explore your land, lifestyle and budget & work with you to ensure your plans are designed to suit your requirements. Our designers will ensure your home stays within Budget. Throughout this process you will alter the design until you are happy to proceed to the next step.

Step 2. Specifications

 

This is where we will finalise any alterations you wish to make from the previous step & complete the Final Construction Plans. This is when we arrange a meeting to go through all specifications so we can begin quoting. You are invited to visit many of our suppliers firsthand to select items such as – Cabinetry, Tapware, Floor Coverings, Tiles, Fireplaces etc. This is important you select what suits your style. We will then complete a fixed build quote giving you confidence that your selections are reflected in the quoted price eliminating any variations through the build. We pride ourselves on being upfront with pricing & being able to pass on considerable discounts due to buying power & our working relationships with all our suppliers.

Step 3. Contract

 

We will present you with a final fixed Price Quote & Draft contract and explain these in detail. After a signed contract is received & deposit paid we will then submit the plans for Plumbing & Building approval. Prior to the build starting we will arrange a time to go through your final selections of colours and selections.

Step 4. Construction

 

Upon receipt of the Approved plans we will confirm the start date for your build & schedule everything to begin ASAP. You will be notified of the construction milestones throughout the project and invited to inspect as necessary. Progress claims will be made in conjunction with the Contract at the completion of each stage.

Step 5. Hand over

 

After we have recorded any minor defects picked up at the practical completion inspection, we will issue the final payment claim. On receiving the final payment claim we will arrange a handover appointment where you will receive your handover pack, keys and most importantly your brand new custom designed home!

What Our Clients Say

  • My partner Zac and I recently built our first home with Dan and his team and we could not be happier. We first met Dan about a year ago, and not even knowing where to start he stepped us through the process and made everything so easy and understandable. Anyone we came across from the DJ Sommer team where helpful and informative and answered all of our questions. To be able to have someone like Dan and his team supporting and guiding us through one of the most important times in our lives makes us incredibly grateful. We would not build with anyone else and will always recommend DJ Sommer homes to anyone wanting to build! Thank you team!!!

    D & C Barlow

  • We built with DJ Sommer Homes and couldn’t be happier with both the quality of the build and the service we received throughout the whole process. Whilst we have built many homes in the past this was our first custom build but given Dan's experience and organisational skills and Lin’s help with the pre build selection process this build was by far the least stressful we have ever experienced. We are extremely happy with everything about our new home and thank Dan and his team once again for their attention to detail and quality build. To top off the experience for us Dan entered our home into the 2019 Master Builders Awards competition and our home won our category and we believe it was a well deserved win for DJ Sommer Homes. We would definitely recommend Dan and his team at DJ Sommer Homes to build your dream home.

    Alex & Cecann

  • I first hired Dan because he offers the best pricing in the Maleny area, but working with him is absolutely fantastic. I’ve used his services to build two Queenslander style homes and both times the process was very simple – sign the contract and later pick up the key. Both homes were delivered before the due date and on budget. The customer service of Dan and his staff is exceptional. Dan quickly returns calls and is always well-mannered and courteous. He is a delight to work with.

    - Wilma Burton

  • My experience with Dan and his team of highly skilled, hardworking employees was nothing but enjoyable and hassle free. To deal with a Master Builder that is polite and patient was indeed a pleasure. In my opinion DJ Sommer Homes are affordable but in no way lack true craftsmanship and quality.

    - Joshua Dean

  • We would like to thank Dan Sommer and his awesome team for building our beautiful home. Throughout the entire build, Dan took the time to discuss our requirements or concerns that we had and would offer recommendations. We particularly liked Dan’s ability to keep the momentum going for the build. The premises was always kept clean and tidy, his selection and management of reliable and efficient staff and sub-contractors and his well-organised and timely control of the building process. We would also like to thank the Admin staff that responded in a prompt and timely manner to any queries, they were always friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. We found the whole experience a stress-free, exciting and an enjoyable one. We would have no hesitation in recommending DJ Sommer Homes to anyone needing an efficient, reliable and trustworthy builder who can get the job done on time and on budget. Very happy customer.
