our approach

sustainability

Conscious choices, outstanding results

At Pura Build, we actively seek out opportunities to enhance the sustainability of the homes we build. Our experience in passive design principles enables you to achieve the design you want, with careful modifications that improve the efficiency and overall sustainability of your home. Biophilic design philosophies, including the extensive use of timber and natural materials, results in homes that become a calm and inviting place of peace for your family.

preliminary process

Every story
has a beginning

01Submit your enquiry
Complete our online enquiry to kick
things off.
02Review
We’ll take a look at your project, and respond within 2 business days.
03An initial chat
We’ll be in touch to discuss your project scope, share more about how we work, and make sure we’re the right fit.
04Onsite meeting
Show us what you’ve got. We’ll meet in person, walk through our processes, answer your questions, and review your project and plans (if you’ve got them) to make sure everyone's expectations align.
05Follow up
Anything we’ve had to follow up on will be back with you within 2 business days, to keep things moving.
06Moving forward
If we’re a great match for your project, we’ll move forward. But if it’s not the right time, or we’re not the right team for you, we’ll leave it here.
07Design preparation
The excitement is building. If you don’t have plans, we’ll confirm your preference for an architect or designer (and we’ve got some great contacts, if you don’t have someone in mind). This is the time for you to meet with them, to make sure they’re right for your project.
08Preliminary agreement
If everyone’s feeling good at this point, we’ll organise a meeting to sign the preliminary agreement documents and make it official. This is also your first payment point. After a briefing, we’ll sit down with you and the designer to align on values, budget and your design scope.
09Budget expectations
This is where we get some ballpark figures. We’ll review the meeting outcomes against your budget expectations. If we have concerns, we’ll flag them. If everything looks good, the designer will proceed to concept development.
10Design review meeting
Collaboration is a key part of our process. We’ll meet with you and the designer to review the design concept and provide feedback on budget considerations and buildability.
11First cost estimate
With the initial design confirmed, we’ll provide an initial costing based on our experience on similar projects, specification allowances and soil test results.
12Second cost estimate
If all looks good, we’ll proceed with preliminary engineering and refine the costing with continued allowance.
13Selections
This is where things start to feel very real – you’ll select all fixtures, fittings and materials. You might choose to do this yourself, or through your designer.
14Final costing
Based on your final selections and subcontractor quotes, we’ll prepare a third round of detailed costings.
15Final proposal
The moment of truth – we’ll present the complete proposal, including detailed specifications, your schedule of works and proposed start date.
16Contract signing
If you’re ready to go, we’ll put pen to paper and sign the contract and organise payment of your deposit. We’re in this together, so we’ll set a weekly meeting schedule to keep communication flowing.
17Construction begins
Hard hats on, it’s time to get started.
