Q.

1. How long will my build take?

A.

In a perfect world, build schedules would run according to plan, without delays or push-backs. The sun would shine every day, and the rain would only come once the building is watertight.

Unfortunately, though, this is only an ideal world.

There is a multitude of factors that can delay any build, waiting on suppliers and bad weather first spring to mind.

It pays to have realistic expectations on the time frame of your build.

Q.

2. What is the 6-star energy rating and what does it mean?

A.

All standard OJ Building homes comply with 6-star energy efficiency. However, due to structural changes that our clients make, sometimes they no longer comply, and other items need to be included. Items that may need to be added may include double-glazing on windows, additional insulation and special doors to ensure your home complies with a 6-star rating.

Q.

3. What’s the 16-18 week build time?

A.

This 16-18 week build timeframe is based on a standard single storey homer from your official Site Start to Practical Completion. This timeframe may vary depending on any delays that may be claimed as part of any inclement weather.
