Building Process
While every Paul Gray build will differ slightly from one to the next, the construction process and the progression from selections through to settlement follows roughly the same timeline.

Phase 1
Pre - Site
Admininstration phase of your new build
Here is where you’ll begin personalizing the inside and outside of your new home. Choose from a large selection of fixtures and colors in your 1-on-1 appointment with our highly experienced colour consultant. We highly recommend having a pre-colour appointment with your Sales Consultant before your allocated colour consultation, this will allow you to be much more prepared and less overwhelmed.
After your appointment, you will receive a copy of your colour selection out lining your choices, upgrades, and changes. Please note that any changes made after this appointment are subject to and may result in additional costs and processing delays during administration stage.
Once your plans, quote and colour selection have been finalised it's time to lock it all in! You will be given a copy of your final plans, specifications, contract, quote, and terms of engagement to look over in your own time. After you have looked over your documents, our administration team will organise a time for you to come into our office and officially sign them off. You will receive both a digital and hard-copy version of your signed documents for yourself and your finance company.
Upon completion of contract signing, you will be given an invoice for 5 % of your contract price. This goes towards the preparation of permit and consent documents listed in the next step. If your finance company needs an approved building permit and stamped plans before releasing these funds, let our team know and we will happily continue to apply for your approvals. If not, your job will be placed on a hold until proof of payment has been received.
Once we receive your approved building permit, full 5 % deposit AND unconditional finance approval, we’re officially granted approval to start the construction of your new home! You’ll receive notification of your approved building permit from our administration team, as well as an official start date letter. Get excited, this is where the magic really happens...
As per your contract, we have 14 days to get on-site after we’ve received both your permit and finance. This gives us time to start coordinating trades and allows your supervisor time to study your plans and specifications
Phase 2
Construction
The official start of your new build
You are now at the very final stage of construction – time sure does fly! This stage will see all the finishing touches come together. Painting and tiling will be completed, carpet laid, and any further plumbing and electrical connections finalised. The remaining elements of your kitchen will be installed, and shower screens, mirrors, and towel rails will be installed in your bathroom/s . On completion of this stage your fifth and final progress payment will be invoiced, this being the remaining 10% of your contract price (including any variation costs regarding this stage).
Once this stage is complete your site supervisor will perform various quality - control checks and work closely with our administration team to apply for your Occupancy Permit. They will also be in contact with you to organise a time for your official walk-through.
