SHOULD WE HAVE THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS INDEPENDENTLY CHECKED?2021-07-01T03:46:50+00:00

At Madison Park Homes we use the Master Build Organisation contract so our terms and conditions align with their guarantee requirements. We recommend that clients have the document checked by their lawyer before signing for clarification of the wording contained within.

 

WILL WE BE ALLOWED TO VISIT THE SITE DURING CONSTRUCTION?2021-07-01T03:46:25+00:00

Our Project Managers take your health and safety very seriously. You are however welcome to view your home under construction, we just ask that you make an appointment with your Project Manager and that you read our health and safety briefing and wear your Madison Park Homes hi Vis vest when doing so. We hope you enjoy seeing your home come to life.

 

WHO INSURES THE PROPERTY WHILE IT’S UNDER CONSTRUCTION?2021-07-01T03:45:50+00:00

Madison Park Homes will insure the property during construction. Insist upon viewing the policy and if necessary have your interest noted upon it. Don’t forget to arrange your insurance before the handover and to insure any products or materials you leave on site during the construction period as these will not be covered by our policy.

 

SHOULD I BUILD IN SUMMER OR WINTER?2021-07-01T03:44:40+00:00

The fact of the matter is that with the kiln dried framing products that we use nowadays, it makes very little difference. You may need to allow a few weeks of downtime for weather-dependent items, like texture coating, during winter months. At Madison Park Homes, we reduce downtime during wet months by using modified framing fittings, plywood cladding and drying equipment.

 

HOW MUCH PER M² DOES IT COST TO BUILD?2023-07-20T05:21:05+00:00

This question is difficult to answer without being misleading. The cost per m² is based on the size of the home and the specification and does not represent apples with apples. The makeup of products and quality can differ markedly, which will affect the final cost.
HOW LONG IS THE BUILDING PROCESS?2021-07-01T03:43:24+00:00

This will depend upon the size, materials used and complexity of your home. For a standard single level home of around 200 sqm home allow approximately 6-7 months once the contract has been signed. When you include design process, this will extend the time frame to between 10 – 12 months.

 

DO I NEED TO EMPLOY A LICENSED BUILDER?2021-07-01T03:42:43+00:00

As of 2012 all builders who wish to complete new homes must be licensed to work on the critical elements of the house; that is the structure and the building envelope. This is to ensure that your home is constructed by a trained building professional. The results will be a structurally sound home that is weather tight.
