Faqs
- Will the site need to be re-pegged?
This will depend on the site itself and the design of the home, but in many cases the answer is yes. Most builders will charge you for a site re-peg, but Ventura Homes will include it as part of the service, for no extra charge.
- Will my house fit on the block I choose?
Most good builders will provide you with a fully prepared quote with an itemised breakdown of all inclusions in your proposed home. Ventura Homes will provide this along with a scale drawing of the home sited on your block, free of charge. This will also allow you to plan how future developments such as swimming pool, garden shed etc can be accommodated.
- Can you assist me with finance?
Absolutely. At Ventura, we'll provide you with information from over 30 different institutions, giving you the right advice for the right finance package. Just ask one of our consultants.
- Why do I need a site inspection?
A site inspection will be required to assess the level of site works you will need, and determine the aspect of the home. It will also be used to fix the positions of the sewer network, water mains, and electricity and telecommunications connections. When you build a Ventura Home, a comprehensive site inspection is part of the service. We will also provide an obligation free quotation for site costs, tailored specifically to your block of land.
- How long should my quotation and site inspection take?
When making general changes to a builder's design, costings can be given immediately. In cases where changes are more detailed and need to be drafted, a one week turnaround is acceptable. If you are frustrated by the service offered by a builder at quotation stage, it may mean you are in for a long journey.
- What if we can't find a design we like?
That's where Ventura Homes excel! We have an in-house design service, to assist you in transferring your own ideas onto paper, and then into bricks and mortar. Our service is hassle free, and won't cost you the earth!
- What is the warranty period?
Every builder offers different warranty periods. At Ventura, we provide a full maintenance and repair service for the first six months after you take possession, and a structural guarantee of a full ten years.
- Should I insist on double clay brick?
Ventura Homes build in double clay brick because it offers excellent strength and insulation properties. Choosing double clay brick will also give you a wide selection of colours and styles to choose from.
- What does the HIA have to do with the industry?
The Housing Industry Authority (HIA) is a self-regulatory body that ensures that standards of quality and service are maintained. All of Ventura Homes' Sales Representatives and Supervisory staff are registered with the HIA, to ensure that they meet the required standards. In addition, the HIA conduct the Homes of the Year Awards annually, with awards judged on design innovation and aesthetics, construction and interior fitting quality, and overall value for money. Ventura Homes has been prominent in several categories in the HIA Awards since the company was founded, with many Winner and Finalist nominations.
