01A one-off residence, designed to your site and your life.
02Keep the street you love. Replace the house you have outgrown.
03More home, without moving.
04We find the block. We build the home.
“A home should be the one thing you own that was made only for you.”
Not sure where you fit? Start with our processOur Process
Building a home is not complicated. It is just long, and full of decisions. Here is every stage, what happens in it, what it costs and roughly how long it takes.
An unhurried hour with us. Your site, your brief, your budget and your timing. We tell you honestly whether we are the right builder, and if we are not, who might be.
Site inspection, title and overlay check, orientation study, slope and access assessment, preliminary budget.
We sign a Preliminary Design Agreement and put the first concept on paper: site plan, floor plans, elevations, and a 3D view.
The plan is resolved with you until it is right. Structural engineering, soil report and energy assessment are commissioned. Interior selections begin.
A complete specification is priced and a fixed sum agreed. We walk you through every allowance and provisional sum before you sign.
Development Application lodged through PlanSA. Planning Consent, then Building Consent, then Development Approval. Building indemnity insurance taken out.
Site set-out, footings, frame, roof, lock-up, fit-out, finishes. Weekly photographs, a live program and fortnightly calls. Site meetings at frame and at fit-out.
Practical completion inspection, walkthrough, keys, manuals and warranties. Then a 12-month defects period with inspections at three and eleven months.
Durations are typical for a Sakar home and confirmed for your project at stage 02. Approvals in a Historic or Character Area, or where a significant tree is involved, can run longer.
Your part
A list, a Pinterest board, or a sentence about how you want a Sunday morning to feel. All of them work.
Told to us early. A budget shared at the start is a design constraint; a budget revealed at the end is a disappointment.
We give you a schedule of when each selection is needed, with plenty of notice. The program depends on it.
If you do not like something we have drawn, the cheapest possible moment to say so is now.
Every Sakar home begins with an unhurried conversation about your site, your budget and how you actually want to live. No obligation, no sales pitch, just a clear view of what is possible.
