Create something amazing

Building from scratch is your chance to get the home you want, without compromise. We work with high-end architects who can draw up anything you can imagine. But if you already have plans for a new home, granny flat, sleepout or garage, great — we can get started sooner!

Our process

  • Planning on site with the homeowner

    Planning

    Planning

    Before the building begins, we'll meet with you on site to go over the project. That's everything from bathroom access to alternative accommodation if you need it.

  • On-site build meeting

    Communication

    Communication

    Once the slab is laid and the prenail is on site, we'll provide a projected build programme. You're welcome to join on-site meetings at key stages. Weather can sometimes cause delays — we'll keep you informed if anything affects the schedule.

  • Handover day

    Just before handover, we'll invite you to a walk-through to identify defects or omissions. Following this, we'll send you a preliminary settlement statement. Then on handover day, we'll pop the champers with you to toast a job well done!

They said it, not us

RB Thomas transformed our leaky house into a beautiful, watertight home. The process was smooth, and the team was professional and knowledgeable.
