Our Process

Our Process:
From First Conversation to Final Handover

Every Morris Homes project follows a structured 12-step process designed to protect your budget, your timeline, and your experience. No guesswork. No surprises. Just a clear path from enquiry through to the keys in your hand.

Step 1:

Initial Enquiry

Contact Morris Homes directly via website, social media, or referral. Every project starts with a conversation.

Step 2:

Project Discovery

Book a one-on-one discovery session with Brad to align on project goals, budget, site conditions, timeline, and design direction.

Step 3:

Feasibility and Budgeting

We complete a detailed desktop feasibility assessment at no cost, identifying site constraints, council considerations, and project viability upfront.

Step 4:

Design

An obligation-free pathway to convert your ideas into compliant preliminary drawings, enabling realistic building estimates without pricing guesswork.

Step 5:

Estimate and Tender

Detailed trade take-offs, bills of quantities, allowance schedules, and project budgeting. Our tender aligns directly with our trade reporting systems. A small fee applies because accurate estimating deserves proper attention.

Step 6:

Client Selections

Clients receive the Morris Homes Client Selections Handbook. Maree works closely with you to finalise all fittings and fixtures before contract signing, minimising variation risks during construction.

Step 7:

Approvals

Nick and the project management team oversee DA approvals, CDC approvals, engineering coordination, and authority approvals, all tracked through BuilderTrend.

Step 8:

Fixed Price Contract

We enter a HIA Fixed Price Contract only after plans are finalised, selections are completed, approvals are in place, and budget clarity exists. This protects everyone.

Step 9:

Construction

Every project is individually scheduled in BuilderTrend. Clients receive scheduling visibility, progress photos, variation tracking, communication updates, and site inspection opportunities.

Step 10:

Handover

Once practical completion is reached, we organise final inspections, occupation certificates, client walkthroughs, and a final defect list. All outstanding items are addressed before completion.

Step 11:

Maintenance Period

A 3-month maintenance check after handover. Clients note any concerns during the first 3 months and our team addresses each item to ensure the home continues performing exactly as intended.

Step 12:

Referral Program

We are developing a referral program to reward clients who continue supporting and promoting Morris Homes. Relationships matter to us long after projects are completed.

I highly recommend Morris Homes. They not only built my dream home but went above and beyond to make sure that the journey of building was not a stressful one. The workmanship and professionalism is very high. Brad did a great job from beginning to handover and post-handover.
