Concept Plans to Developement Approval
Starting Your Building Journey
Concept Design: At Nuovo Homes we start with a conversation, and then submit a proposal for a concept design. Once we have a concept design we can begin to put numbers to the design to estimate the cost.
Building is a journey between designer and client, which takes conversations, meetings and pictures to convey the vision and get the design right. All of which have to align with the clients budget.
Nuovo homes has an extensive questionnaire to understand your building needs at the beginning which helps you convey your vision for your new home.
We have been building homes and extensions for families across South Australia for 10 years. We use this experience to estimate the project.

Planning & Building Approval
Once you approve the concept, we can move forward to preparing planning approval plans for your local council. We will prepare a site plan, elevations, floor plan and a list of materials/colours and lodge the documents on your behalf.
We then will work with the local council to meet all of your site requirements and get your approval to start your custom home.
The new state planning portal will keep you updated on all documentation and were we are up to in the process.
We engage engineers and complete energy reports on your behalf.
Quite often we find ways to help customers find the most cost effective solutions to their design. This may mean we request the engineers to consider alternative ways to achieve the same design, or changing the way room names to meet councils energy requirements.


From Concept Design to Developement Approval
Every building journey starts with a concept design. Once we have a concept design we can then estimate build costs. We then lodge your plans with local council, and follow that process through to completion.
You may have already had plans drawn, we can work with those too. Quite often we find ourselves fixing or making amendments to the design a customer may have already had completed. The great advantage of using Nuovo Homes to design your project, we can ensure the design aligns closer to your budget.
With all our custom home designs, we provide 3D views of your project, helping you understand how it looks and how it will all come together.
Once the concept design has been finalised, we can ballpark estimate the build costs. If you then choose to move forward, we can start the next phase and prepare planning and building drawings for Development approval with your local council.

Custom Home Selections
As we move forward to finalising your Custom Home Design documentation, we will book you in with our interior designer and recommended stores to select the materials and products that you like. Our designers will assist your design palette. We then document these selections and this forms part of the documentation for your new Custom Home design.
