Your home design is finalised and the specifications are chosen, we move into the engineering phase where the plans are priced. Once your paperwork is submitted to your lawyer and finance approval is confirmed, we’ll invoice you for your first 10% payment, minus any preliminary fees. Your admin contact will then schedule consultations for colours, products, and your kitchen design, as well as an electrical review, which usually takes around three hours. After you’ve signed off on pricing, your account admin manager will guide you through the final paperwork, including the spec, building contract, and essential services. Once the engineered plans are ready, Hive Homes will submit everything to the council for building consent, a process that typically takes up to three months. Each step is designed to keep you informed and on track toward your new home.
