09 GUARANTEE

Koru came with a very strong

recommendation from a work

colleague. We were always kept well

informed of what was happening

throughout the build…work was done

to a high standard, the team were

friendly and the site was always

cleaned up at the end of the day.

Thank you for making our extension

feel and look like part of our home.

TONY & KORINA HOARE,

HOME OWNERS

W H A T D O O U R C L I E N T S S A Y A B O U T T H E I R J O U R N E Y W I T H U S

All the Koru team including

subcontractors were professional,

clean and a pleasure to do business

with. Updates and communication

were excellent through the build.

Building with Koru exceed our

expectations and we are really

thankful we chose Koru.

BELINDA & PAUL HUTCHINSON,

HOME OWNERS

Tony listened to my questions and

concerns and he always responded

immediately.  Koru not only honoured

the style of the old cottage but they

built a new space which is

contemporary and enjoyable to live in.

The renovation has transformed my

home and I really don’t think I would

have achieved the outcome without

the input and expertise of Koru.

LEN MORRISEY, HOME OWNER

Our build was challenging –

transforming a Queenslander with no

straight walls and lots of surprises into

a comfortable modern home with the

charm and ambience of a classic home.

 Koru were willing to work with and

reuse second hand materials at times

and offer advice at key points.  Tony

has a good eye for the little things that

really improve the functionality and

look of the final build.

HOME OWNERS

BUILD

KORU IS WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY DURING YOUR BUILD WITH OUR 10 STEPS TO DESIGN & BUILD PROCESS. WE’LL GUIDE YOU, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS OF YOUR PROJECT.

Get in touch with usPhone us, email or pop into our

office for an informal discussion about your bathroom project.

1 Design

Our Design. Your Design. Custom Design.

We will work with you to establish your design criteria and identify a

project budget.

2

Preliminary AgreementWe may ask you to sign a Preliminary

Agreement before the Building Contract is signed setting out any preliminary

costs.

3

Preliminary Design & Estimate

We will provide you with an estimate for your project based

on the preliminary design.

4Selections

Once you are happy with your design, we will meet with you to

finalise the detailed specifications, selections and inclusions list.

5

Ongoing SupportIt is quite normal for minor items

to require attention as a new home or building project "settles"

and this is why we provide a 12 month defects period.

10

Contract & DepositOnce you have accepted our

quote, we will ask you to sign an HIA Building Contract and

pay the deposit.

6Building Approval

If required, we will submit the design for Council approval which will generally take 2

weeks.

you access to our online project management system where we will keep

you up to date.

HandoverOnce the building process has been completed, we will meet

with you onsite for a handover meeting.
