How We Build
The Concept Group Process
Building with The Concept Group is about clarity, confidence, and craftsmanship. From your first conversation to move-in day, we keep every step transparent and efficient — so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.
Your Building Journey
Seven clear steps from concept to completion
1
Meet & Discover
Your journey starts with a simple chat. We’ll talk about what matters most to you — your site, your timeline, your budget, and the look you want to achieve. Our team completes an initial desktop review to confirm site suitability and flag anything that needs attention early.
💰 Complimentary
⏱️ 30–60 minutes
2
Consultation & Planning
This is where ideas become a plan. Our team refines your layout, confirms site conditions, and prepares a fixed-price proposal based on real data — not guesswork. Once we’ve agreed on layout and inclusions, we lock it in — no more design drift, just clear progress.
💰 From $997.00
⏱️ 2-4 weeks
3
Preliminary Contract
At this stage, we will enter into a Preliminary Contract, allowing us to manage your project all the way through to Building Approval. It’s a simple way to take the pressure off — we handle the reports, engineering, and coordination while you enjoy peace of mind.
- Engineering and structural design
- Energy efficiency assessments
- Complete colours and selections
- Single all-inclusive fixed price — no surprises
💰 From $10,000.00 (less your consultation fee)
⏱️ Around 6-12 weeks
4
Development Approval (if required)
Some projects require Development Approval. If so, we handle it for you — coordinating with our planning partners and managing any supporting documentation (flood, bushfire, or environmental reports). You’re kept informed at every step, and we’ll advise costs upfront if your Council requests extra items.
💰 Typically $4,000–$10,000 (Council dependent)
⏱️ 12–24 weeks from lodgement
5
Contract Signing
Once you’re ready to build, we prepare your contract and walk you through every clause so there are no surprises later. We use plain language and transparency so you understand exactly what’s included and when things happen.
💰 Covered under preliminary contract
⏱️ 1 week
6
Manufacturing & Assembly - Stage 1: Factory Build
Your home is built in our controlled factory environment to millimetre accuracy. We welcome you to visit during production and see your home taking shape.
💰 Included in build contract
⏱️ 8–12 weeks
7
Manufacturing & Assembly - Stage 2: Delivery & Onsite Assembly
Once the modules are complete, they’re transported to site, assembled, and connected. Our team completes finishing touches, quality checks, and prepares your new home for handover.
💰 Included in build contract
⏱️ 4–6 weeks
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Council approval for a modular home?
Yes, all homes require building approval. Some sites may also need Development Approval depending on your location and Council requirements. We handle all standard building and plumbing approvals as part of your package.
Do you handle the applications?
Yes. We lodge standard building and plumbing approvals as part of your package. If a Development Approval is required, we’ll guide you through that separately.
How much does transport cost?
Transport will be quoted to your site. The cost varies depending on your location and the size of your build.
How will I be kept informed?
You’ll receive regular updates and photos from us throughout the building process, and you are free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.
What should I allow for onsite connections?
Typical connection costs range from $10,000–$50,000, depending on your site and services. We’ll confirm your requirements early so there are no surprises at installation.
Why do you do a preliminary contract?
The preliminary contract allows us to manage all the technical work upfront – engineering, reports, approvals – so you have certainty before committing to the full build. It takes the pressure off and ensures everything is ready to proceed smoothly.
