Choose the Right Contract for Your Project

Transparent, Flexible, and Tailored to Your Needs

We understand that each project and client is unique, so we offer two main contract options to best suit your requirements. Our approach is designed to provide transparency and trust, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.

1. Cost-Plus Contract

(Ideal for Flexibility and Transparency)

With a Cost-Plus Contract, you pay for the actual cost of materials, labor, and other expenses, plus an agreed-upon fee or percentage for our management and expertise. This type of contract offers several benefits:

Full Transparency: You have access to detailed cost information, so you always know where your budget is going
Flexibility for Changes: Allows for adjustments in materials, finishes, or scope without needing a major renegotiation
Trust and Collaboration: You’re part of the decision-making process, building a collaborative partnership throughout the project

Common Misconceptions: Some clients worry that cost-plus contracts lead to runaway expenses. We address this by maintaining open communication, regular budget reviews, and detailed cost tracking to keep your project within the agreed-upon scope.

2. Lump Sum Contract

(Ideal for Budget Certainty)

A Lump Sum Contract provides a fixed price for the entire project, covering labor, materials, and all anticipated costs. This contract is beneficial for clients who prefer cost certainty upfront:

Fixed Budget: Offers peace of mind with a set price, making it easier to plan your finances
Clear Timeline and Program: With a defined scope and program, you know exactly when your project will be completed
Simplified Process: Reduces the need for detailed cost tracking during the project, allowing you to focus on the outcome

Building Trust: We work closely with you during the planning phase to ensure the Lump Sum price covers your project goals and expectations. We are transparent about what is included, ensuring there are no hidden costs.

Choose the Right Project Type for Your Project

Flexible Project Types to Suit Your Goals and Involvement

Every project is unique, and we offer a variety of project types to align with your needs, budget, and preferred level of involvement. Whether you’re looking for a full design and build solution or construction-only services, our approach is built on transparency, trust, and collaboration.

1. Design Only

(Ideal for Clients Seeking Expert Guidance on Vision and Planning)

Our Design Only service provides you with a comprehensive design plan tailored to your needs, ready to be handed over to a builder of your choice.

Personalized Design Plans: We work closely with you to capture your style, needs, and budget, creating detailed design plans and layouts
Thorough Documentation: Receive all the necessary drawings, specifications, and planning documents to ensure a smooth handoff to your chosen builder
Flexible Execution: This option gives you the freedom to choose your own builder for the construction phase

Trust and Collaboration: Even though our role is focused on design, we ensure that every detail is developed with clarity, making it easy for the next team to bring your vision to life.

2. Design and Construct

(Ideal for a Seamless, End-to-End Experience)

With our Design and Construct service, we manage both the design and construction phases from start to finish, ensuring a cohesive and efficient process.

One Point of Contact: Enjoy streamlined communication, with a single point of contact managing your project from initial design through to final construction
Time and Cost Efficiency: By overseeing both phases, we keep your project on schedule and within budget, avoiding costly delays or miscommunications
Complete Accountability: From concept to completion, we handle every aspect, so you can trust that your vision will be executed exactly as planned

Overcoming Misconceptions: Some clients worry about losing control in a design-and-build approach. We address this by involving you at every stage, giving you regular updates and options for input.

3. Construct Only

(Ideal for Clients with Completed Designs Ready to Build)

If you already have a completed and approved design and are looking for a builder to bring it to fruition, our Construct Only service is the solution.

Experienced Execution: We will turn your design into reality, staying true to the original plans
Clear Program and Timeline: We will establish a clear program and adhere to timelines, keeping you informed of progress throughout the construction
Transparent, Fixed Pricing: We will provide a transparent quotation based on your design, so you have clear expectations on costs

Building Trust and Confidence: Our approach ensures that your design is fully respected and executed to the highest standards, working closely with your designer if needed to address any project-specific challenges.

Secure Your Investment and Build with Peace of Mind

In today’s uncertain economy, building or renovating your home is a significant commitment. How can you ensure your investment is safe and responsibly managed? At JVE Construction, we prioritize transparency and security, offering the option of a project trust account—held and managed by a bank. This account ensures that your funds are protected and used exclusively for your project, giving you the confidence that every dollar is safeguarded.

Benefits of a Project Trust Account:

Bank-Managed Security: Your money is securely held by the bank and dedicated solely to your project, adding a layer of safety for financial peace of mind
Clear and Transparent Tracking: Easily monitor expenses and see exactly where your funds are going at each stage
Budget Control: Helps keep your project on budget, reducing the likelihood of unexpected costs

Six Stages of Your Home Build

Building a home is an exciting process with clear stages. Here’s what to expect at each step of your journey with us:

Stage 1: Base Stage – Laying the Foundations

This is where it all begins! The base stage involves preparing and stabilizing the site to create a solid foundation for the rest of the build, ensuring everything is safe and secure from the ground up.

Prepare the site with soil testing, land clearing, retaining walls and/or demolition
Establish the site with essentials such as temporary fencing, and services for our Tradesmen
Level the site, pour the concrete slab, and lay the foundation

Stage 2: Frame Stage – Building the Structure

Your home’s shape starts to emerge as we construct the framework, bringing your design to life and outlining each space with walls, floors, and roof supports.

Erect the framework for walls and roof trusses
Construct internal and external walls
Install floor joists if your home has multiple levels

Stage 3: Lock-Up Stage – Enclosing the Home

At this stage, we focus on enclosing the home, securing it from the elements, and making it weatherproof, so we can start working on the interior.

Install windows, external doors, and cladding
Complete the roof, adding gutters and downpipes
Fit garage doors and other external elements to create the shell

Stage 4: Fixing Stage – Adding Interior Details

Once the exterior is complete, we focus on the interior, adding cabinetry, finishes, and fixtures that bring functionality and style to every room.

Install cabinetry, skirting boards, architraves, and internal doors
Complete plastering, insulation, and essential carpentry
Add countertops, benchtops, and other interior finishes

Stage 5: Practical Completion Stage – The Final Touches

The finishing details are added, from painting and tiling to fixtures and lighting, creating a move in ready space.

Paint walls, install floor coverings, and complete tiling
Fit lighting, power outlets, door handles, and bathroom fixtures
Conduct a full site clean, ensuring the home is ready for your walk-through

Stage 6: Handover Stage – Moving In

It’s time to make it yours. We complete any final adjustments based on your feedback, and finally you’re ready to move into your completed home!

Address any final details based on your walk-through feedback
Hand over the keys for your new completed home
