The new-build process end to end: land, design, contract, construction stages and handover.
A new build is a two-year commitment governed by a contract most people sign without fully reading. The progress payment schedule, the allowances, the site cost provisions and the variation clauses all decide how much you ultimately pay — often long before the slab goes down.
This topic covers the process from land through to handover, with particular attention to the stages where homeowners have leverage and the stages where they have none.
