Question 2

What types of projects do we specialise in?

Accepted Answer

At Monteleone Home Builders, we specialise in crafting custom-designed new homes and extensions. From knocking down and rebuilding your existing home to enhancing your current space, we manage every aspect of your project to ensure a seamless experience.

Question 3

How does a Monteleone Custom Home differ from a volume-built Home?

Accepted Answer

Unlike volume builders, Monteleone Home Builders takes a personalised approach. We collaborate with you every step of the way to design a unique, functional home tailored to your needs. While volume builders offer standard designs with limited flexibility, we create custom plans that reflect your specific requirements and site conditions.

Question 4

Who oversees the construction and timeframes?

Accepted Answer

Your project will be overseen by a dedicated Project Supervisor, ensuring daily operations run smoothly. Additionally, a Contracts Administrator  will be part of your Construction Team, assisting with selections and serving as your main point of contact in the office. You’ll also have access to a customer portal to stay updated on your project’s progress at all times.

Question 5

Can we build from your existing plans?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Monteleone Home Builders can work from your existing plans or offer full design services. While some builders restrict you to their designs, we provide flexibility. Our in-house design and drafting team can help you explore ideas that fit your budget, and we manage the entire project from start to finish, whether you’re using our designs or your own.

Question 6

Do we handle design, drafting, and town planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Monteleone Home Builders offers a comprehensive design and architectural drafting service. Our skilled Design Team guides you from concept to completion, handling all aspects of town planning (if required) and coordinating full documentation for building approval, including detailed structural drawings and engineering details.

Question 7

What warranties and guarantees do we offer?

Accepted Answer

Monteleone Home Builders stands behind our work with comprehensive warranties and guarantees. In addition to the legally required 3-month post-completion maintenance inspection, we offer extended services, including complimentary 6-week and 12-month warranty inspections. Our dedicated maintenance team ensures ongoing support long after your project is completed.

Question 8

Can I access my home during construction?

Accepted Answer

For safety and compliance, access to your home during construction is regulated. Monteleone Home Builders arranges regular site meetings, but any additional visits must be scheduled in advance and accompanied by your Project Manager. This ensures everyone’s safety while keeping you informed.

Question 9

Does construction begin immediately after signing the contract?

Accepted Answer

Construction usually begins 4-6 weeks after signing the contract, depending on site access and necessary permits. Monteleone Home Builders ensures that all preliminary steps are completed efficiently so your project can commence as soon as possible.

Question 10

Can I live in my home during construction?

Accepted Answer

Typically, living in your home during construction is not feasible, especially in major renovation projects where utilities may be disconnected. However, in some cases, we can create a separate, safe living area. We’ll discuss the best options based on your specific project.

Question 11

How is my property insured during the build?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need to verify with your insurance provider that your policy covers the existing structure during construction. While Monteleone Home Builders’ insurance covers new construction, it’s important to ensure that your home and belongings are protected. We can also assist in securing additional coverage if needed.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

Yes! Visit our Inspiration  page to explore our portfolio of our custom homes, extensions and knockdown rebuilds. Stay connected with our latest work on Facebook and Instagram, and watch our video walkthroughs on YouTube.

Can I make changes or upgrades during construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, variations are a normal part of our building process at Monteleone Home Builders. Whether it’s upgrading materials or making design changes, our team will assist with every detail. We ensure transparency with no hidden fees, and any additional costs will be clearly explained in your contract.

Question 14

How long will my project take?

Accepted Answer

The duration of your project depends on its size and scope. Generally, custom built new home or extension can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. We provide an estimated timeline with your Concept Budget and a guaranteed timeframe at the contract stage, tailored to your specific project.
