Answer:
The typical lead time from signed contract and deposit to handover is 18 to 24 weeks, depending on your build type and approval pathway.
Timeframe overview:
- Prelim stage & approvals: 3–6 weeks
- Selections and contract finalisation: 1–2 weeks
- Batch manufacturing: 8–10 weeks
- Shipping & delivery: 5–6 weeks
- Installation & handover: 1–3 weeks
Timeframes can vary based on:
- Council processing speed (CDC vs DA)
- Access or transport complexity
- Custom upgrades or material delays
- Regional delivery or extended site works
- Where you are based in the batch for installation on site. After delivery to site there can be a waiting period for the building team to arrive and install. You will be updated on the estimated date for both delivery and then install.
Your assigned sales and project manager will provide timeline updates at every stage to ensure clarity and confidence.
