The process of engaging a builder like
Etosha Homes need not be a difficult of confusing process.
While we treat each client individually, a typical process
will be something like this;
1. Selecting Your Plans
The first step is to sit down with your Etosha Homes consultant and
discuss your needs - this includes your likely budget, family size
and other needs. If you already have a block of land this will be a
factor at this stage, if not you can discuss possible land or
packages available.
The consultant will show you various plans that will suit your
needs. You may at this stage decide that a plan is similar to your
needs, but requires some alterations. See more on our standard plans here.
2. The Completed Plan
The completed plan with your individual requirements are created.
You will determine that these are to your needs, including such
factors as orientation on your land and other needs.
3. Options and Fit Out
You can now look at the various options and fit out of your
property. Such matters to consider are how many power points you
would like per room, tile and carpet selection, air conditioning or
evaporative cooling, stove and cabinets. Some of these are included
in the price, while others will be upgrades or additional items.

options here.
4. Pricing and Contracts
Your Etosha Homes consultant will formulate a price for your plan
and fit out. Once you have agreed to this a standard building
contract will be drawn up. You may be required to demonstrate
finance approval at this stage.
Upon signing the contract you will be required to pay a small
deposit.
5. Permits and Contractors
Etosha Homes now obtain any required council permits and engage all
needed contractors to complete your home.
The contract may need to be adjusted if there is any variation in
council requirements or soil tests on your land require any
different construction.
6. Work Starts
We start work, starting with laying the slab taking care of all of
the details.
During this stage you are welcome to visit the work site and watch
your property being built. You will be given a construction key to
access inside the house during construction as well.
Etosha Homes will work directly with your financer to get funds
drawn down for the various stages of construction
7. Work Is Completed
Before moving in you will be invited to go thorough your property
and check the quality and inclusions. If anything is noted as being
incorrect it is rectified by Etosha before hand over.
8. Handover Of The Keys
Your now completed property is now handed over to you and you can
move in.
All our structural work is guaranteed for seven years, so any
defects can be noted and we will continue to correct these as
needed.
