What will my site costs be?
Every block is unique – the slope, soil type, accessibility of the site, and location (just to name a few) which can all impact the costs to build on your site. As a result, the costs involved in us preparing the site for the build, and actually conducting the build – called site costs – can vary significantly.
Fairhaven include up to a H1 slab which is more common in Victoria than an M class slab.
We can provide fixed site costs upfront (conditions apply) which can give you significant peace of mind. In some instances, we will need to conduct a soil sample and survey prior to providing fixed site costs; soil samples and surveys can only be done once an initial deposit has been paid.
What will the house design look like on my block?
Your New Home Consultant will clarify the most suitable designs for your block size. If you have your own block, simply provide the address and lot number and your New Home Consultant can provide a site plan showing how a particular design would look on your block.
Can I make changes to the home design?
All Fairhaven Homes floor plans have design options available, but we can’t accommodate wholesale changes. We invest significant time and energy into providing tested and proven designs so that you don’t have to.
When are construction payments due?
Payments are due at Base, Frame, Lockup, Fix and Completion stage of your construction journey.
How long does the Pre-Site & Construction process take?
Generally speaking, subject to land titles, planning, weather and any other unforeseen circumstances, you should be in your home between 9-12 months after paying the initial deposit. It usually takes three months after the initial intro call for the building team to get to site.
Can I get my own private building inspector?
Fairhaven employ a seperate company to complete Building Inspections of all our builds, a neutral third party.
You can choose to obtain a private Building Consultant in addition to the one provided.
