Our process

OUR APPROACH

At Papalia Builders, we take pride in meticulously planning and building a process to ensure absolute trust and peace of mind, from the first meeting to the final handover of your dream home.

With a passion and commitment to quality building and design, spanning over 27 years in the building industry, Leo Papalia and team provide a streamlined, quality experience throughout the entire building process.

EXPLORATION

Let’s start with a friendly chat with our design team. There’s no pressure or obligations involved. We’ll discuss your vision, lifestyle, land, and budget, showcasing our previous custom high end builds in Perth and its surrounds, and explain the unique Papalia approach.

Our goal is to understand every aspect of how you envision living in your new home. This helps us grasp your desired functionality and aesthetics for every room of your house. Since we have architects, builders and interior designers working together, we can provide smart solutions early on, streamlining the process. You’ll have a dedicated team of builders, architects and interior designers by your side throughout the entire building journey.

DESIGN

Firstly, we’ll create 3D design concepts for your review, along with a detailed cost estimate. Then we visit your land and carefully analyse its unique features, such as the layout, views, and surroundings, documenting everything with descriptions and photos to inform our design decisions and maximize your land’s potential.

Next, our architects will develop an initial architectural concept, including floor plans and elevations, which we will continue to refine until it perfectly aligns with your vision, even if it takes multiple iterations.

To provide you with a realistic understanding of your future home, we’ll present detailed 3D images that showcase every detail. Additionally, you’ll receive a comprehensive list of specifications tailored to your preferences and budget. Our fully detailed proposal will outline the costs involved.

DETAILS

This phase revolves around attention to detail, covering the final design and necessary paperwork for construction.

Our team will work closely with you to refine the design of every room, and finalise all interiors and exteriors. We help you in making choices for appliances, fixtures, flooring, and colours that align with your dream home vision.

Once we have all the necessary information, we’ll finalise the costs and drawings to prepare the construction documentation, ensuring that everything corresponds precisely to your choices and preferences.

Leo will also guide you through the preparation of the final contract documents and building permit application, involving detailed architectural drawings and engineering plans required for approval.

We understand the importance of cost certainty before commencing construction, which is why we offer a fixed-price contract. Our extensive experience has shown this to be the most efficient and cost-effective approach.

BUILD

Upon obtaining all the necessary approvals, we’ll secure the building permit and initiate the construction process.

Our in-house team will diligently manage the construction, adhering to the highest standards of workmanship. We collaborate with a network of skilled craftsmen and tradespeople in and around Perth to ensure your vision is realized with exceptional attention to detail. We take on a hands-on approach with every project, which is what sets us apart from other Perth builders.

Throughout the construction phase, we’ll provide regular updates, schedule site inspections, and maintain open lines of communication.

HOME

At Papalia Builders, our commitment to you extends beyond the completion of your luxury home. We take great pride in our work, and want you to take pride in your new home as well. Therefore, we equip you with all the necessary information to maintain and enjoy your home to the fullest.

We organise a follow up with you to gather your feedback and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the final outcome.
