Architectural Budget Management

For people who already have an architect, or want to choose their own, and have seen a design come in well over budget before. Custom Homes works alongside the architect through the design process, pricing as it goes, so the design stays inside what the build can actually cost. The architect designs, Custom Homes prices, and the client decides with real numbers in hand, before the plans are finished, not after.

How it works

  1. 1

    A conversation.

    It starts with a call or a conversation about your project and your architect.

  2. 2

    A proposal to manage the budget.

    We set out how we’ll manage the budget while your architect draws.

  3. 3

    Priced as it’s drawn.

    Your architect designs and we price as the design develops, so you decide with real numbers in hand before the plans are finished.

  4. 4

    A fixed price contract.

    With the plans priced, and if the numbers work, you receive a Master Build fixed price contract to review and sign.

  5. 5

    Building consent.

    The building consent is lodged with council.

  6. 6

    Ongoing support.

    You get ongoing support throughout the build, with transparent access into the process.

“Greg and his team were great. The whole process went as well as any build could, any challenges that popped up along the way were dealt with swiftly and cost effectively which is the true sign of a good company. Couldn’t thank the guys enough for the stunning family home they have just finished for us.”
