Construct Central Coast

AWARD-WINNING LUXURY HOME SPECIALIST

Established by the second-generation builder, Daniel Syddall in 2004, Construct Central Coast creates high-end architectural homes for the residents of Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast.

Over the last 14 years, Daniel has built a reputation for offering a personal and hands-on approach, establishing high expectations while overseeing a transparent and innovative construction process.

Proactive, forward-thinking and with incredible attention to detail, Daniel and his team will deliver an enjoyable building experience and a home that exceeds expectations.

Construct isn’t just a one-man show. Daniel has carefully selected his team (many who have been with him for more than a decade) who share the same quality-driven values, delivering master craftsmanship and outstanding customer service on every project.

Whilst based on the NSW Central Coast, Construct builds throughout Sydney’s North Shore and Northern Beaches, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Working in conjunction with a range of architects and designers or directly with the owner.

As second-generation builders of high-end, architectural homes, our knowledge and experience is unrivalled. We are passionate about bringing your design to life, delivering quality workmanship and clear lines of communication from that first phone call to when we hand over the keys.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE US

1. Our people are the best in the business
Every member of our team delivers outstanding levels of craftsmanship and customer service on every project, ensuring the creation of bespoke, luxury homes. We also never shy away from a difficult site, with experience building in bushfire prone areas up to and including BAL-FZ, sloping sites and rock-based blocks.

2. Exclusivity
We set a limit on the number of projects we accept each year to facilitate a more individualised and hands-on process between client, architect and builder.

3. Communication
Once construction commences, you will have consistent access to Daniel and your nominated site supervisor. You will receive clear and transparent communication every step of the way, removing the stress from what can traditionally be a stressful process. These open lines of communication allow for the development of relationships that often last well after the build is complete.

4. Innovation
We think creatively and laterally to turn any obstacle into an opportunity and find innovative ways to save you money where we can without sacrificing quality. Daniel is dedicated to ensuring the end product is the best it can be and so is constantly researching the latest materials, technologies and finishes, passing on what he learns onto you.

5. Procedure
A well-defined process from initial concept to handover, with ongoing support. We use a revolutionary cloud-based platform that keeps you fully informed and up to date every step of the build. This allows for transparency and input from all parties involved and provides up-to-date information on cost, variations, selections and daily photographs of what is happening on site.

6. Perfection
Our commitment to perfection ensures nothing is left to chance and everything is completed to a superior standard, using only the highest quality products and finishes.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
Following your initial contact with us, you will be asked to complete our comprehensive Needs Analysis Questionnaire. This allows us to determine the stage you are up to in your building process and how we can best help you move forward.

INITIAL CONSULTATION
You will meet with Daniel (our Director) to discuss all the relevant options and potential restrictions relating to your new build. This discussion includes but is not limited to, your site (access, slope, sewer, size, position, aspect etc.), your plans, relevant approvals, and the level of fixtures and fittings desired.

PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT
The preliminary agreement is put in place to outline the costing involved to formulate a detailed quote for your project. This agreement also outlines the documentation required to conduct the preliminary pricing.

PRICING
An enormous amount of effort and care goes into our quotation process to ensure your quote provides all the information you need to make an informed decision. As luxury home builders, we source the best trades and the highest quality products and will deliver a quote that presents the best value for money for your custom home build.

CONSTRUCTION
Throughout the construction process, you will have access to Daniel and your nominated site supervisor who will keep you in the loop every step of the build. You will also have access to our revolutionary customised software system, which gives you live updates on the progress of your project, including costings, timeline and variations as well as photos from the site showing work in progress.

HANDOVER
A pre-handover walk-through is conducted to ensure you are completely satisfied with the finished result. All warranties are provided in a folder for safekeeping at this time. You will have ongoing access to our team for any maintenance requirements that may arise after the handover. It always gives us great pleasure at the handover stage knowing your next chapter in your amazing new home is about to begin.

• To deliver a home that each client will enjoy and be able to share with family and friends for years to come.
• To raise standards within the industry and change the negative perception people often have about builders and the building industry.
• To produce a level of detail and perfection that is second to none.
• To maintain a reputation for being a company of integrity that will not compromise on quality.
• To ensure each client has an experience that they can be a part of at all times, ensuring that it is as stress-free as possible.

How much will it cost to build?
The answer to this question relies heavily on the design, size and scope of your project. Many factors affect the cost of building. You can read in more detail in our ‘cost to build’ article.

Can you give me a square meterage rate?
It is extremely difficult to give a square meter rate as no two builds are ever the same. We can give a rough estimate; however, a proper quote requires an extensive understanding of the plans, scope of work, site conditions and level of fixtures and fittings in order to give an accurate and clear build price that outlines exactly what is included and what is not.

Will I know exactly what is included in the price?
Construct Central Coast will provide you with an easy to read, detailed and transparent quote that outlines exactly what is included. We will provide a full scope of works, BOQ’s (Bill of Quantities) and a detailed Gantt Chart so that you have a complete understanding of what it will cost to build your new home. In order to provide this level of detail, Construct Central Coast requires a full set of Architectural plans with a detailed finishing schedule prior to pricing.

What are Prime Costs and Provisional Sums?
Sometimes at the time of quoting, clients have not decided yet on specific details such as what light bulb you are going to use. There are two common terms used to allow for such variables.

– Prime Cost Item (PC) This is an allowance made in a tender or contract for the supply and delivery only of an item or items of material (eg. Taps, light fittings, baths etc) that have not been selected at time of tender or before the contract is signed or for which the contractor was not able to provide a fixed price on entering the contract.

– Provisional Sum (PS) This is an allowance made in a tender or contract for particular work which could not be finalised before tendering or signing a contract and which includes the total cost of the supply and installation (eg. Joinery, air-conditioning, landscaping or rock removal).

Example:

• Tile allowance PC $45/m2 (Inclusive of GST)
• Landscaping Provisional Sum $15,000 (Inclusive of GST)

I have a sloping block, is this a problem?
Absolutely not. Our team are experienced in building on steep and sloping blocks including those with a large amount of rock. We have completed numerous projects in bushfire prone areas and are up to date on the latest legislation and regulations imposed to help protect your home in the event of a bushfire. You can find more information on these regulations under the blog section.

Can you help me with my design?
Of course. We work with a range of talented designers and architects who can help you bring your ideas and dreams to life. By speaking to Daniel about your style and budget we can most certainly help you design the perfect home for your budget and lifestyle.

Can I see houses that you have completed?
Our clients are proud of the houses that we have completed for them and are extremely accommodating when prospective clients request a walkthrough to inspect the level of detail and finish that they can expect from the team.

Will I be expected to pay for ‘variations’?
During the quotation process, Construct Central Coast will request as much information from you as possible to reduce the need for variations throughout the build, however, if the need arises for a variation to the scope, this will be outlined and priced accordingly allowing you to see any additional cost before proceeding.

Who will be managing the project throughout the build?
You will work closely with both Daniel as well as your nominated project manager. You can contact either one of them at any stage throughout the build and they will be more than happy to talk you through the progress on site.

Will I have access to the site throughout the build?
We are always happy to meet you onsite. You will also have live updates as to what is happening onsite via our software program which you will have 24/7 access to. The team will post photos of what is happening along with notes. This is great if it is a holiday house or you are not close to the site.

What sets you apart from other builders?
Our team prides itself on living up to our motto of ‘Excellence in Building’. We build lasting relationships with our clients through our open and transparent approach which grows trust and respect. Every one of our employees is invested in the level of work that they produce and share the same values and drive that the company is renowned for. At Construct Central Coast we will never trade quality for the price and will deliver the highest standards and quality for money. Your enjoyment on this journey is important to us. Our reputation is built on trust, integrity and quality and this is something we will always stand by!
