Our Building Process

At Complete Additions, we believe that a successful project starts with great communication and clear expectations. Whether you're renovating your forever home or building from scratch, our process is designed to make the journey smooth and enjoyable.

Tip #1

Discover 2 acronyms that could be added into your building contract that make the price appear a lot lower. Be cautious with these though as throughout the construction process your contract price can start increasing quickly!

Discover why it could be a big mistake if you start negotiating on price too early in the design process. It’s counter-intuitive but being open and honest at this stage in the process can really save you a lot of money.

Tip #2

Discover a certain type of clause you’ll see in most contracts. You can’t avoid it, but you can certainly prepare for it.

We reveal why planning your renovation team is critical. Without the right team in place first, you could blow thousands of dollars in potential redesign fees and experience months of wasted time.

Tip #3

Discover one of the first major steps in design & construction and all the different names this stage has. Without this stage, you risk dealing with an unprofessional and disorganised builder that has not done any real planning for your project.

If all builders look the same to you at this stage then turn to page 8 where you’ll discover an easy to follow process for identifying dodgy builders with poor communication.
