Why build with Alphaline Homes custom home builders?

7 reasons to build your dream home with Alphaline

Step 1 – Initial Site Inspection

During this inspection, we evaluate your site of land (or the land you are thinking about buying) in detail to get an understanding of its unique design challenges. Following a detailed checklist, we look at various factors such as how to best orient your house to take advantage of natural light, ventilation and views and also consider the surrounding area to create privacy from any neighbours. This inspection will ensure we can create the best possible design aspects for your new home. 

Step 2 – DNA (Design Needs Analysis) Consult 

The next step involves holding a DNA (Designs Needs Analysis) consultation with you. During your DNA consult, we’ll run through a comprehensive list of 180 questions to uncover your hidden design and planning needs to future proof your home for 20 years to come.

Step 3 –  Soil Test, Contours & Property Report

Once we have an understanding of your individual design needs and wants, we will arrange for soil testing to be conducted on your purchased block of land as well as contour surveying.

At this stage, we will also review other reports such as fire overlays, acoustic reports or site topography to ensure the design makes the most of every opportunity on your chosen block of land. Even the placement of retaining walls is considered at this stage.

Naturally, this level of thoroughness prior to concept plans being drawn up ensures that there are no hidden costs down the line and the build can move ahead smoothly.

Step 4 – Concept Plans 

Our design team will begin to create the initial concepts for your house design. As they work, they will ensure they integrate the unique properties of your block of land and also align the design with your individual lifestyle needs which we will have uncovered during your DNA consultation. 

Step 5 – Real Life Size Plan WalkThroughs

Before the plans for your new home are finalised, we give you a unique and exciting opportunity to ‘walk-through’ a digital projection of your concept plans in a life size 1:1 scale. 

As you walk through the rooms of your ‘virtual’ home, you can evaluate the plans to really get a feel for the layout and evaluate every single detail. Read more about our Real Life Size Plan Walkthroughs on the next page.

If you’re not completely comfortable with something, or want to see certain aspects of the layout moved around, changes to the plans can be made on the spot and displayed instantly on the projection. This helps you to really understand the impact of making any alterations such as increasing or decreasing the size of a room.

Step 6 – Final Plans

Following your life size walkthrough, any necessary changes will be made to your concept plans and final plans for construction will be prepared. 

Step 7 – Selections with Interior Designer

You’ll have full access to our Colour and Design studio which features a wide range of samples from leading brands for carpets, tiles, trims, paint colours and everything in between. We’ll set up a consultation with one of our interior designers who will help you make all your selections.
