Our process
A clear path. No theatre.
Every project is different. The sequence is not. You should always know what just happened and what happens next.
01
Let’s Talk
We start with your intent — new home, renovation, extension, rebuild or development — and the practical facts: location, stage, and what you already have in hand. The project planner is the cleanest way to begin. A call is fine too.
02
Site & Feasibility
A site visit tells us more than photos. We look at how the land or the existing house will treat the project: access for trades, outdoor space, structure, and the things drawings often miss.
03
Feasibility
Before anyone falls in love with a plan, we test whether the idea is kind to the budget and the site. This is also where renovation versus rebuild should be settled, if it is still open.
04
Design
Design may be yours, your architect’s, or a design-and-build collaboration. Our job is to keep the design buildable and faithful to the brief.
05
Cost planning
Cost becomes real as the design becomes real. We would rather discuss specification early than discover a gap after consent. No prices are published on this site because they would be guesswork.
06
Consent
Building consent — and resource consent where it applies — sits with the relevant council. We help assemble a complete package and plan the start around a realistic programme, not a promised date we cannot control.
07
Construction
Once we are on site, you should always know what is happening this week and what is next. The site should be tidy, the neighbours considered, and the work sequenced so trades are not inventing the job as they go.
08
Quality assurance
Inspections, our own reviews, and a snag list that gets closed — not carried into week one of living in the house.
09
Handover
A walk-through, the keys, and the information you need to live in the place. Warranty and aftercare wording will be added when SPL Homes supplies the factual documents.
10
Aftercare
Placeholder for SPL Homes aftercare: who to contact, what is covered, and how defects are handled. This section will not invent a guarantee.
