Custom Design Homes

Are you looking for a custom home builder in the Sydney Central Coast area, to custom design and build your dream home?

To start the building process, we will require a Detailed contour survey of your proposed Home site. A complete survey will include; Datum & all levels recorded to AHD (Australian Height Datum)” + Location of all existing structures, Driveway, Paths, Outstructures etc + Location of services, kerb & gutter levels, + adjoining neighbours dwelling positions - floor levels & window positions etc + location of any existing trees on site, All included on the survey to create a satisfactory site analysis plan. should you wish to engage this service directly through our company, our minimum fee is $920 dependent on site characteristics. Once a survey becomes available, we can arrange an on-site meeting with either Mark or David Tullipan to start gathering design concepts and ideas.

Once you have met with one of our consultants and discussed your budget and design ideas, a design fee of $ 3.50/m2 will apply. For that fee you will receive custom designed floor plans, front elevation & site plan.

Once you are happy with the concept plans, we will prepare and present to you a detailed tender document. There are advantages to Tullipan Homes tendering on your home. Our tendering process involves a thorough quantity take off, breaking down your design into a detailed bill of quantities to which we apply our competitive scale of trade and material rates. All costing is calculated in-house, enabling us to keep a harness on all rates, keeping our costing consistent. This method of costing is quite separate to that applied to custom homes by the majority of small builders who generally rely on their sub contractors and suppliers to cost the bulk of your new home design.

Once you have agreed on the design, tender, inclusions and pricing of your new home, you then need to sign a HIA preliminary agreement form. At this stage you will be required to pay an acceptance fee which will be detailed on the last page of our Tender document.

Tullipan homes will then Draft a detailed set of Plans for submission to Council, prepare a Statement of environmental effects, complete a BASIX & nathers energy assessment, arrange structural engineer details etc all in preparation for the DA submission to council, we liaise with outside consultants to gather any additional reports. The likes of ; Hydraulic drainage design, Bushfire reports, Tree reports, Landscaping design etc as required by council. Once a complete submission is achieved, we then lodge all necessary documentation to council for approval.

Once we have met all of councils requirements and your new home has been approved, we will arrange a pre-contract meeting to discuss any of your requirements to bolt down the final details of the contract. A contract is then prepared and presented for your final approval and signature. Construction of your new home will then commence.

Our standard home designs come with built-in flexibility. Our designs can be reconfigured in line with your needs and tastes – such as adding rooms, flipping the orientation of the design to suit the block, or applying a totally different façade to front of the home.

Each environment has an individual character, some that are easy to harness where the creative mind quickly captures the essence of nature present, and helps the concept flow easily onto the sketchpad, others can take more time and perseverance.

Whether easily achieved or only through persistence, our designs will reflect the passion with which we approach the outer appearance and sustainability in design.

We aim to provide an environmentally friendly design that will achieve a level of natural air-conditioning, and producing a house that will save on heating and cooling costs, and be in great demand due to our smart internal layout and street appeal.
