Faqs
- Will the site need to be re-pegged?
This will depend on the site itself and the design of the home, but in many cases the answer is yes. Most builders will charge you for a site re-peg, but Ventura Homes will include it as part of the service, at no extra charge.
- Will my house fit on the block I choose?
Most good builders will provide you with a fully prepared quote with an itemised breakdown of all inclusions for your proposed home. Ventura Homes will provide this along with a scale drawing of the home sited on your block, free of charge. This will also allow you to plan how future developments, such as a swimming pool or garden shed, can be accommodated.
- Can you assist me with finance?
Absolutely. At Ventura Homes, we'll provide you with information from over 30 different financial institutions. This gives you access to the best advice and the right finance package for your situation. Just ask one of our consultants about this.
- Why do I need a site inspection?
A site inspection is required to assess the level of site works you will need, and to determine the aspect of the home. It will also be used to fix the positions of the sewer network, water mains, and electricity and telecommunications connections. When you build a Ventura Home, a comprehensive site inspection is part of the service. We will also provide an obligation-free quotation for site costs, tailored specifically to your block of land.
- How long should my quotation and site inspection take?
When making general changes to a builder's design, costings can be given immediately. In cases where changes are more detailed and need to be drafted, a one week turnaround is acceptable. If the service offered by a builder at quotation stage is slow enough to frustrate you, it indicates you may be in for a long journey.
- What if we can't find a design we like?
That's where Ventura Homes excel! We have an in-house design service, to assist you in transferring your own ideas onto paper, and then into bricks and mortar. Our service is hassle free, and won't cost you the earth!
- What warranties do you provide?
Every builder offers different warranty periods. At Ventura Homes, we provide a full maintenance period for the first six months after you take possession of your new home. On top of that, we offer a full 25 year structural warranty.
- Should I insist on double clay brick?
Ventura Homes build in double clay brick because it offers excellent strength and insulation properties. Choosing double clay brick will also give you a wide selection of colours and styles to choose from.
- What does the HIA have to do with the industry?
