Our Build process
01.
Initial Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation. During the initial consultation, we take the time to understand your vision, lifestyle requirements, budget and goals for the project. Whether you are planning a custom new home or a knockdown rebuild, this stage is an opportunity for us to learn more about your ideas and how you want your home to feel and function.
We understand building a home can feel overwhelming at times, so we aim to make the process approachable, transparent and collaborative from the very beginning. We’ll discuss your site, preferred design style, timeframe, and any consultants already involved, and provide guidance based on our experience delivering custom homes across Brisbane and the Redlands.
Our goal is to ensure clients feel informed, comfortable and confident before moving into the next stage of the journey.
02.
Design & Planning
A successful project starts with thoughtful planning and strong collaboration. During the design and planning stage, we work closely with clients, architects, building designers and other consultants to help ensure the project is well considered prior to construction commencing.
This stage may include reviewing plans from a construction and buildability perspective, discussing selections and finishes, and working through budget considerations to support informed decision-making throughout the process. Our interior designer also works closely with clients during this stage, providing expert guidance through the selections process to help create a home that feels cohesive, reflects their lifestyle and gives them confidence in every decision. Many of our clients tell us this collaborative experience is one of the highlights of their building journey.
Where required, we can assist in coordinating with appropriately engaged consultants, including engineers, certifiers and other industry professionals, to help streamline the pre-construction phase.
We work closely with trusted architects, building designers, engineers, certifiers and consultants throughout the building process to support a collaborative and well-managed construction process.
By investing time up front in planning and coordination, we aim to help minimise surprises during construction and create a clearer pathway to bringing your home to life.
Every project is approached with attention to detail, functionality and a strong focus on quality construction outcomes.
03.
Pre-Construction
The pre-construction phase is when the project begins to take shape behind the scenes. During this stage, we help coordinate the many moving parts required before construction can commence, including consultant documentation, approvals, site preparation, selections, trade coordination and construction scheduling.
We understand that clear communication during this stage is important, particularly because there is often a lot of information and decision-making involved. Our team works closely with clients to keep the process organised and manageable, while ensuring that all required documentation and planning are in place before breaking ground.
By taking a thorough and considered approach to pre-construction, we aim to create a smoother building experience and reduce potential delays once work begins on-site. Attention to detail during this phase plays an important role in the overall success and efficiency of the build.
04.
Construction
Construction is where planning, craftsmanship and collaboration come together. Throughout the build, we maintain consistent project oversight and work closely with our trusted trades and suppliers to help ensure a high standard of workmanship at every stage.
As a boutique builder, we intentionally limit the number of projects we undertake to remain hands-on and closely involved throughout construction. We believe this allows for better communication, stronger quality control and a more personalised experience for our clients.
Regular site inspections, ongoing coordination and proactive communication help keep projects progressing smoothly while ensuring clients remain informed along the way. We establish clear expectations from the outset and actively manage the construction schedule throughout the build, keeping clients informed of progress and any changes as they arise.
We understand that building a custom home is a significant investment, and we approach each project with the same level of care and attention to detail we would expect ourselves.
Our focus is always on delivering homes that are thoughtfully built, functional and made to stand the test of time. From the first day on site through to handover, our goal is to deliver not only an exceptional home, but a building experience that is transparent, collaborative and enjoyable.
05.
Completion and Handover
Reaching handover is an exciting milestone and the culmination of months of planning, collaboration and construction. Prior to handover, we undertake detailed quality checks and final inspections to help ensure the home is completed to the standard our clients expect.
We understand the importance of the finishing touches, and we work closely with our trades and suppliers to address final details and ensure the home is ready for move-in. During handover, clients are provided with relevant documentation, warranties, certificates, and information regarding the ongoing care and maintenance of their home.
Our relationship with clients does not simply end at handover. We remain available to assist with any questions or follow-up items as clients settle into their new home. We take great pride in delivering homes that families will enjoy for many years to come, and we value the long-term relationships built throughout the process.
Don’t just take our word for it. See what our clients say.
Trusted by Homeowners Across the Redlands & Brisbane
We are proud of the long-standing relationships built with our clients. Many of our projects are referrals – a true reflection of our craftsmanship, communication and commitment to delivering homes of enduring quality.
This is the fifth home we have built with Luke, Dedrick and the team at Haimes Homes, and once again, they have delivered outstanding results. With every project, we have valued their clear communication, transparent pricing and meticulous attention to detail. The care applied to every stage of each build is evident in the outstanding quality of our homes. We recommend Haimes Homes without hesitation.
Clint and Clare.
Friends of ours had already built with Haimes Homes and spoke so highly of the experience that the decision of who to build with was never really in question.
The whole process was smooth from start to finish. We felt genuinely supported at every stage: from the initial design conversations, selections process, through to handover. Luke, Tegan and Dedrick were always responsive and very easy to deal with.
Communication was consistently good throughout. We never had to chase anyone for updates, which made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable and stress free. We were also pleasantly surprised by the timeline: a two-storey home built to a really high standard of detail and craftsmanship, completed faster than we thought possible.
We’d have no hesitation recommending Haimes Homes to anyone considering building. It’s a process that’s in very good hands.
Rod and Juliana.
We have now built two homes with Haimes Homes, which reflects the level of trust and confidence we have in their team and the quality they consistently deliver.
From the design phase through to completion, what stood out was their strong understanding of our vision and their ability to guide us through being able to achieve it. Communication was clear, proactive and consistent throughout. With regular updates and site walks with Luke that kept us engaged at every stage.
The finished home speaks for itself. We love the seamless flow in the layout, the beautiful natural stone selections and the high level of finish across every detail.
We would not hesitate to recommend Haimes Homes to anyone looking for a well-executed, high-quality custom build.
Brock and Carly.
Haimes Homes completed construction of our double story modern style home a few years ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We’d researched the building process and potential builders extensively, however as soon as we’d met with Luke and inspected his spec. home, we knew we wanted Haimes Homes to build our home.
Haimes Homes craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. The whole process from start to finish was smooth, it was easy to communicate with Haimes Homes, nothing was ever a problem and Haimes Homes made us feel like we were an integral part of the process. Haimes Homes post completion support is fantastic too.
We are absolutely thrilled with our home and cannot thank Luke, Bob and the team enough. If we decide to build again we would choose Haimes Homes every time.
Kylie and Craig.
Having worked alongside Haimes Homes on their projects for the past few years, I’ve seen firsthand the quality of their work and the care they put into every build. So when it came time to build my own home, there was no doubt in my mind about who I wanted to do the job.
The whole process was straightforward from start to finish, and I always knew the build was in good hands. I couldn’t be happier with the finished home.
Brenton.
We were introduced to Haimes Homes through a recommendation from Kim Healy at First National Real Estate, and we’re very happy we chose them to build our home.
Throughout the build, we were impressed with the quality of construction and the way any issues that arose were quickly resolved. Communication was always good, both during the build and after we moved in.
Most importantly, the home we designed on paper is the home that has been brought to life. We’re very happy with the finished result and genuinely enjoy living in our home.
We would happily recommend Haimes Homes to others.
Robbie and Natalie.
