Building a brand-new house is an incredible opportunity to create a dream home custom to your lifestyle. It’s your chance to design a space to your exact needs and equip it with the latest in modern design and technology.
We know constructing your own home feels like a huge undertaking. It involves a lot of big decisions, like where to build and which builder to trust. But don't stress!
Thankfully, with Mojo Homes, our in-depth guide simplifies the entire process. We’re ready to make building your house exciting, enjoyable, and easy, delivering your home effectively to the highest standard. We will make it our duty to ensure you find more joy every day in your own Mojo home, so don't put your dream goals on hold.
Ready to get started? Let’s take a look at the key steps to building your new home with Mojo.
Found a design you absolutely love? We pride ourselves on value and honesty, so our policy is to give you all known costs upfront (including optional expenses) before you pay a deposit and sign your building agreement. This means you know exactly what you’re getting and, most importantly, there are NO hidden surprises! The only surprise you'll get is how much you'll adore your finished Mojo home.
This is the stage where you get to put your own spin on things! You’ll work with your personal Mojo interior designer and visit our state-of-the-art MyChoice Design Studio. Here, you’ll select all your colours, fittings, fixtures, and finishes for the internal, external, and electrical requirements, ensuring your new home is unique to your style.
Once you’re completely thrilled with all your MyChoice selections and you understand every detail, you’ll meet with your Project CoordinatorCoordiantor client relations consultant. This is the exciting appointment where you sign your building agreement. If you’re doing a knockdown and rebuild, now is the perfect time to start planning and getting your demolition approvals sorted.
With your signed building agreement ready, we take over the paperwork and approvals! We lodge your plans with the council or a private certifier, and handle approvals with the land developer, water board, and mines subsidence board if necessary. For our Kknockdown and Rrebuild customers, once your new home plans have been approved, you can officially arrange to have your existing home demolished.
Well, the waiting is over, your dream build is happening! Your Mojo Home is coming to life right before your eyes, and we are just as excited as you are! Your dedicated site supervisor will meet you on-site at every major milestone so you can watch your creation unfold. Remember to check your MyHome Customer Portal for regular progress photos and updates on your build.
This is the very first physical part of your new home! After all the site excavation, under-slab drainage, and piering are complete, we pour the slab. Once this 'base stage' is signed off, we’ll take your first progress payment.
This is when your home truly takes shape and becomes visible! You'll enjoy seeing your new home framed up with our modern, strong TRUECORE® steel frames, roof trusses, and joists. During this important step, the wall frames and roof are built, and your windows and external doors are installed.
After your pre-lining inspection with your site supervisor, we work towards 'lock up,' which weatherproofs your new home. We install the brickwork or external cladding, the roof covering, eave linings, and complete the plumbing and electrical rough-ins. You’ll now have a clear idea of how your new home will look!
Moving indoors! Now that your home is secure, our team starts the internal fit-out. We install the plasterboard linings, skirting boards, and architraves, complete the kitchen installation, and start the ceramic tiling. You'll be invited to inspect your tiling and check out your beautiful kitchen and bathroom cupboards at this stage.
Your new home is nearing completion! This is the exciting stage where we add all the finishing touches. A wave of trades will complete the painting, wall and floor tiling, plumbing and electrical installations, as well as installing shower screens, mirrors, and splashbacks. Before the official key handover, you'll visit your home to inspect it in all its glory.
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! An independent building inspector completes a final quality check before your inspection with your site supervisor. Your brand-new home is now complete and ready for our team to hand you the keys. It’s time to move in, celebrate, and see the big smile on your face!
With the right preparation and this guide, you should feel confident making smart decisions when building your new home. As promised, we've built your house and genuinely enjoyed the process with you by our side!
We still have your back, even after handover. Thanks to our 90-day defect liability period, we're there for you once you've settled in, should you need us. This gives you added peace of mind and reassurance that building a new home is exciting and achievable.
The keys are in your hands, and it's time to start that new chapter! If you’re thinking of building, head to a Mojo display home or our inspiration centre at Box Hill, Sydney, to discuss your own home with one of our experienced new home consultants.
