How to choose the right builder for your extension

Choosing the right builder for your extension is important for the success of your project. Trust us, not all builders are equal. You need to be sure that you’re choosing wisely so it’s completely natural to have some concerns, such as:

Experience and compliance

Is my builder experienced in the type of project I want? Can I see some of their work? Are they skilled, highly qualified, experienced and fully insured?

Costing and budgeting

Will the pricing be honest and fair? Are there any hidden fees or charges that could increase the cost of the job? Can they design to my budget?

Quality of work and materials

Will my builder do things properly? Do they have reputable suppliers of high-quality materials? Do they have a Quality Management System?

An designer who listens

Will the building designer take the time to understand my vision? Will the design suit my land and blend seamlessly with my existing home?

Are you unsure how to choose the right builder for your extension?

Do you need advice to address these and other concerns or questions you might have?

Most people planning an extension are in a similar situation. That’s why we provide a free consultation with our Design and Build Specialist together with our building designer to answer your questions, share tips to avoid costly mistakes and wasted time and to start the journey to getting the custom home that you’ve always wanted.

How we design and build the perfect extension!

Since 2009 builders Henri Grawe and Matt Whiting, alongside the Pepper Constructions team, have helped more than 50 families build their dream extension. We pride ourselves on providing custom designs, high quality work and a fantastic building experience.

At Pepper Constructions ‘we make building easy?’

That’s a big claim. So how do we do it?

Property assessment

Any plan to extend or renovate a home must take the existing conditions into account. Not only because the cost of repairs to structural works can be expensive (think re-stumping, point old brick walls, replacing deteriorating roof tiles), but also to consider whether the dwelling can be brought to compliance with the new National Construction Code.

Before we begin any design works we undertake a comprehensive building assessment and provide you with an honest appraisal. 

The first step is a free consultation with Sally Gray, our design and build specialist, and our building designer.

Your exact vision

You’ve been patiently planning, collecting ideas and dreaming of the home you’ve always wanted. Your exact vision.

A perfectly flowing floorplan, shared spaces for the family and rooms that are private, features that add comfort and convenience, finishes that show style and luxury to reflect your personality and everything built properly, to last a lifetime.

In collaboration with our building designers, we will integrate your ideas, provide expert advice and create a custom extension, just the way you want it.

More house for your money

By taking the time to understand your vision and asking thoughtful questions to clarify and refine what you want, we can adjust both the design and the structure so that you get more house for your money.

No “cookie cutter” plans with a few walls moved (that’s what the volume builders do!) no wasted, unusable space and no over engineering. Just a cost-effective design that 100% suits your needs.

If you already have your own plans we can provide a professional, contract ready construction estimate for a $1,650 fee.

Your building experience

Our Design and Build Specialist, Sally Gray, will provide information and advice, our building designer are one of Melbourne’s most renowned.

Our Project Management system and process, run effortlessly by Construction Co-ordinator Amber Sambrooks,will not only guide you every step of the way but give you real time, 24/7 access to your own online portal where you can see your project come to life.

And if you ever have any concerns, you can reach the owners of the company, Henri or Matt, directly.

Everything done properly

Everything done properly

Properly – adverb: correctly or in a satisfactory way

We do things properly. We build:

  • Thoughtfully and carefully with quality materials and expert tradespeople, for durability,
  • With an eye on energy efficiency not because it’s fashionable but because it’s good policy,
  • With good financial management, the right insurances and operational health & safety policies that actually mean something,
  • With long time employees who know what they’re doing
  • With core values that align everyone to the same standards of behaviour, with good environmental and community policies.

We value relationships, reputation, honesty and integrity and doing things properly.

Completed on time and on budget

Sure, there are builders offering unrealistically fast turnarounds and below market pricing to lure you in. But we’re not one of them because we 100% intend to deliver what we promise.

Before anyone picks up a tool we pre-plan the entire project, we “build it" on paper. This pre-planning phase – construction schedule, quotes, purchase orders, ordering materials, problem solving, site analysis, EPA & OHS assessment – ensures that when we commence on site, your build runs like clockwork.

We have a process for everything. That’s how we deliver on time and on budget.

The builders own the company

At Pepper Constructions the builders own the company.

“As both the owners and builders, Matt and I are directly accountable for the work we deliver, so we have a clear interest in making sure that everything is done properly.

We share and invest our expertise and experience, we take our compliance obligations seriously, we ensure that our team is aligned to our values, we maintain meaningful relationships with our tradespeople, we can reduce bureaucracy and improve all around communication.”

Honest and fair pricing

Comparing building prices and quotes is difficult. 

It’s easy to be misled by “cookie cutter” catalogue prices of homes that don’t suit you or to be seduced by low m2 prices that ignore site conditions and don't include basics like heating or even flooring.

Or you can engage an architect to design your home only to find out – too late – that it will cost 30% to 50% more to build than the budget you gave. We’ve heard this again and again.

The solution to getting an honest and fair price is to choose a custom builder at the very beginning. That way you can have the design you want, created with your budget in mind and a enjoy fantastic building experience and be sure that it includes everything for one fixed price.
