What does the building process with Vantage look like?

At Vantage Building Group, we’ve streamlined the home building process to make it as stress free and efficient as possible. Whether you're a first home buyer, upsizer or investor, our step-by-step approach ensures transparency and confidence throughout your building journey.
1. Expression of Interest – A Vantage consultant will work with you to find the perfect home design to suit your land, lifestyle, and budget. You'll review our high quality standard inclusions and pay a deposit to proceed to the new home estimate.
2. New Home Estimate – We'll help you personalise your home, adjusting floor plans to meet your needs. Our drafting team will update your chosen design, and we’ll provide you with a detailed sales estimate.
3. Contract – Once you're happy with your design and inclusions, we’ll prepare your contract, including final floor plans, specifications, and pricing. After signing, a 5% deposit is required. A Vantage Contract Administrator will then guide you through the next steps.
4. Building Approval – We handle all necessary approvals and provide a construction start date. You’ll meet your dedicated site supervisor before the build begins.
5. Colour Selection & Site Preparation – After your contract is executed, we conduct a contour survey, soil test, and engineering reports. Once approvals are in place, we move forward with construction.
6. Construction – Your new home takes shape! You'll have scheduled site visits at key milestones to review progress with your site supervisor.
7. Handover – The moment you’ve been waiting for! We’ll present you with the keys to your brand new home along with a comprehensive handover pack. Now it’s time to move in and enjoy your dream home!
