Pre-construction - Part 2 Electrical & Selections Consults
You have reached your Electrical & Selections Consults! These are such exciting stages of your building journey, as they’re the first time you will really be able to visualise what your new home will look like with all the colours, finishes and fixtures you have chosen.
Electrical Consult
Here you’ll meet with product specialists to assist you with your electrical, smart-technology, air-con & solar selections. This is roughly a 2-hour consult and will take place at our brand-new showroom, Home Collective. On the day of your Electrical Consult, you’re the VIP. You’ll be allocated a car bay, a locker if you require one, and a café to relax in (where the food and drinks are free!)
It’s important to note that this appointment (as well as in your Selections Consult) will be where you finalise all these touches, so it’s important that you’re well prepared.
Selections Consult
Your Selections Consult is when you will meet your Selections Consultant, who will guide you through your plans and finalise your colour and product selections. Your consult will take approximately 5 hours (but we recommend keeping the whole day free) and will also take place at Home Collective. You’ll receive the same perks as you did in your Electrical Consult and during this meeting we will complete the following:
- Explanation of plans
Your Selections Consultant will discuss each page of your plans with you in detail and note any minor changes (e.g. adding pot drawers) that you wish to finalise.
- Finalise product and colour selections
This is where you select your final colours, fittings and fixtures inside your new home.
Selections Drafting
Following your Selections Consult all amendments are itemised on a variation document for you to sign. Once the variation document has been signed, our drafting team will complete the final drawings for your home, which will include the internal specifications such as the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, as well as any electrical provisions chosen at your consult.
FAQs
A design brief is an optional 1.5 hour session at Home Collective where an expert consultant will guide you through the showroom and help bring the vision of your new home style to life. This includes internal & external colours, as well as an introduction to our Online Selections Portal.
