At MOJO, we can't wait to help you create a vibrant home that is unique to you. We're ready to make the steps to building a house exciting, enjoyable and easy, delivering your home in the shortest possible time frame.
Take a look at the key steps to building your dream home with MOJO.

STEP 1: FREE SITE INSPECTION & QUOTE - YOUR DREAM HOME JOURNEY BEGINS

Found a design you love? It is our value and honesty policy to give you all known costs, including optional costs before you pay a deposit and sign your Building Agreement so you know exactly what’s included in your home. Which for you, means NO hidden surprises. So the only surprise you get is how much you'll love your MOJO home.

STEP 2: COLOUR SELECTIONS COMPLETED

This is the stage of building a house where you can really get creative with your personal Interior Designer and select your choice of colours and finishes at our MyChoice Design Studio. You will attend appointments for the selection of the internal, external and electrical requirements of your new home. The state-of-the art MyChoice Design Studio is a one-stop shop filled with all the latest trends for fittings, fixtures and finishes to create a home that is truly unique to you.

STEP 3: CONTRACT SIGNING

At the conclusion of all your MyChoice selection appointments, you will attend an appointment with your Client Relations Consultant to sign your Building Agreement, when you’re happy and understand everything.

(Knock Down and Rebuild – If you are knocking down your existing home, now is the time to start planning and obtaining approvals for demolition)

STEP 4: COUNCIL APPROVAL

Once you have signed off on the Building Agreement, we will lodge your plans for approval with Council or a Private Certifier (also the Land Developer, Water Board and Mines Subsidence Board if applicable).

STEP 5: COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION

Well, building a house is no longer a grand dream. Your MOJO Home is coming to life right before your eyes and we're just as excited as you are! Your Site Supervisor will meet you at your new address at every milestone so you can watch your creation unfold, we also encourage you to refer to your MyHome Customer Portal for progress photos and updates.

STEP 6: SLAB COMPLETE

The first part of your new home, the slab, will be poured once all site excavation and under-slab drainage and piering has been complete. This is also when we’ll take your first progress payment.

STEP 7: FRAME COMPLETE

This is when your home visibly takes shape! Enjoy seeing your new home come to life with shiny blue steel frames, roof trusses and joists. At this step of building your house, not only will the wall frames and roof be built, your windows and doors will also be installed.

STEP 8: BRICKWORK/HEBEL COMPLETE

After you carry out a pre-lining inspection with your Site Supervisor you will get a good feel for how your new home will look as we install the brickwork/Hebel, roof covering, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, as well as eave linings.

STEP 9: INTERNAL FITOUT

Moving indoors, the plasterboard linings are installed, the timber skirtings and architraves are completed, the kitchen is installed and ceramic tiling is underway! You will be invited to talk about your ceramic tiling and look at your kitchen and bathroom cupboards.

STEP 10: PRACTICAL COMPLETION INSPECTION

It's starting to look like a real home now, with the finishing touches being finalised: painting, wall and floor tiling, electrical and plumbing installations and your shower screens, mirrors, splashback and shelving will also be installed. Visit your home and inspect it in all of it's glory before the official key handover is conducted.

STEP 11: OFFICIAL KEY HANDOVER

Your brand new MOJO home is now complete and waiting for you and your family to move in. We can’t wait to see the smile on your face!
