      Steps to Build With Us

      In this meeting, we will discuss your ideas, arrange a draft plan and discuss your preferences for fittings and fixtures.

      At this stage, we provide you with an estimation of costs based on what we have discussed in the initial meeting.

      We then provide you with a Bill of Quantities which forms the framework for a fixed price contract.

      Here, we meet with you to go through the fixed price contract and the building specifications to make sure everything you want is included and fits your needs and budget.

      Once we have all of your specifications, the contract can then be signed and deposit arranged so that we can proceed with your new home.

      Once the contract has been signed, all you need to do is sit back and plan where your furniture will go while we look after everything for you. In this step, we will obtain the building permit and homeowner warranty for your protection.

      Once all the council requirements and insurances are organised, building proper commences and your new home or renovation can begin to take shape.

      This is where the home has been constructed to a point where it is watertight and safe from external influences. Once it reaches this stage, the finish line is in sight.

      The build is now complete! In this step we will arrange the certifier to inspect your completed home who will then issue a certificate of occupancy. Once this is done, you will then receive the keys to your beautiful new home and can call the moving van right away.

        What Our Clients Think

        Darren Ritchie & Alexandra Thompson

        When we decided to build a new home in Kiama. We didn't want a standard type of home and our site was arguably one of the most difficult in Kiama. It is a steep site with lots of rock, access issues and on a busy road. To top it off, we had very unhappy neighbours.

        We chose to build with Jason because he had a ``can do`` attitude and was budget-orientated. We found, during the building process that Jason lived these values, he was always approachable, ready to discuss issues, offered alternative outcomes and always job focused.

        Building a new home is a daunting task, and there are always unexpected issues that need to be dealt with almost daily. We found Jason able to explain and guide us through these issues and in the end, we ended up with a home that exceeds our expectations and came in on budget.

        Thank you very much for our beautiful home Jason.

        Cheryl Collinson-Smith

        Jason Kearns is such an excellent communicator when it was our time to build our two new homes in Minnamurra. From the first meeting he gave us a break down of what and when things would be done. He organised everything from the plugs in the bathroom to the completed final outdoor finishes.

        Jason came up with the fantastic new exterior finish that is made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s a material that will never need maintenance.

        He meets with us almost every morning at the building site to go through that day’s progress.

        Jason just makes the building process so easy. He knows where to get all products locally and his team are all so easy to talk to and nothing has been a problem.

        Tracy his office manager always keeps us updated with all invoices so nothing is a surprise. She even pops down to check on deliveries etc.

        Jason and Tracy introduced us to their system, which is an app and everyday he has his workers send us pictures of the day’s activities. We have been able to look at step by step the whole building progress. This will allow us to print off pictures from the start of the demolition to the end of the build as a lovely coffee table picture book.

        Jason is a builder who is extremely approachable at all times. We are so excited to be able to move in to our new home for Christmas and can not thank JF Kearns enough for his professional approach . Also a big thank you to his amazing team.

        Luke Musgrave

        Hard working and high quality, from day one Jason and his team at JF Kearns have been very professional and would definitely recommend them to others.

        Yes we do. We provide statutory warranties as according to HIA.

        Statutory warranties mean that:

        • The work will be done with due care and skill and in accordance with the plans and specifications set out in the contract
        • All materials supplied will be good and suitable for the purpose for which they are used and that, unless otherwise stated in the contract, those materials will be new

        • The work and materials used in doing the work will be reasonably fit for the specified purpose or result, if the owner tells the contractor why they require the work or what result they are after. This shows that the owner relied on the contractor’s skill and judgement.

        Changes and variations are inevitable and these can be discussed before commencing the construction phase. If, along the way, you want to add extras or change aspects of your project which are not in the original quote agreed upon, your Builder can discuss what’s involved and how much the changes will cost so you can budget for these accordingly.
