Our Building Process
How We Work
1. Meet and Greet
Before we start designing, and before starting the building process, Owner/Director, Pasquale Papalia begins the process by us getting to know each another. From an initial discussion, you will gain a good understanding of our abilities and we aim to get a good understanding of your expectations. Once we have established some guidelines around style, size, budget and time we go away and match you with the designer we think best suits your requirements.
2. Design Brief & Concept Drawing
Your allocated designer together with Owner/Director, Pasquale Papalia will take a detailed design brief. Every home at Papalia Building & Design starts with a blank canvas. The Designer will produce a detailed concept plan based on your individual brief and will work closely with Pasquale to ensure the design is within budget. Design guidelines are considered to ensure a smooth process through the Development Application stage. We will continue to refine the design until you are satisfied to move forward to our costing proposal stage.
3. Fixed Price Proposal
A detailed fixed price proposal will be presented. Including a specification booklet, base house price, site works costings and a full breakdown of optional extras. We will continue to refine the proposal until we have fulfilled your requirements.
