Give us a call

Building a new home is one of the biggest projects you’ll take on, and it requires clear planning, experienced coordination, and careful attention to detail from day one. At New Digs, we guide you through the entire process, from early planning and budgeting with your architect through to construction, council sign-off, and final handover.

We don’t have an in-house designer, but we can connect you with our trusted preferred architects to help bring your vision to life and ensure the design is practical, buildable, and aligned with your budget.

We focus on practical, buildable solutions that suit your site, your lifestyle, and your long-term plans. You can be as hands-on as you like throughout the process, or leave the day-to-day coordination to us while we keep you updated at every stage. With strong project management, trusted subcontractors, and a commitment to quality workmanship, we ensure your new home is built properly, compliant with current Building Code requirements, and finished to a high standard you can rely on for years to come.

Our New Builds Process

One

Initial consultation

We meet on site to discuss your goals, ideas and budget, and assess the existing home so we can provide practical guidance on what is achievable.

Two

Scope of work & estimates

We prepare a clear scope of work with preliminary estimates to help you understand likely costs and make informed decisions before progressing further.

Three

Planning, design & consents

If required, we connect you with trusted architects and consultants to develop plans and obtain council consent, ensuring everything is properly coordinated before construction begins.

Four

Contractor meeting & final pricing

Once plans are confirmed, we meet to review the full project details, provide final pricing and timelines, and agree on the contract so expectations are clear from the outset.

Five

Build phase

Construction begins with careful project management and regular weekly or monthly updates, depending on the size and complexity of the job, so you remain informed throughout the process.

Six

Consent sign off

Where applicable, we coordinate inspections and documentation to achieve council sign off and ensure work is completed in accordance with approved plans.

Seven

Final walkthrough

We complete a detailed walkthrough with you at the end of the project to confirm all work aligns with the agreed scope and to ensure you are fully satisfied before handover.
