We design and build homes through a process shaped by care.

A clear, collaborative process built to make your journey feel calm, considered and rewarding from the very first conversation.

At Trentwood, we take the time to get things right. Our process brings together design, costing and construction in one steady, thoughtful flow. You’ll know what to expect at every stage, with a team that stays close and keeps things clear.

(Our Approach)

OVERVIEW OF OUR 6-STAGE PROCESS

Initial Consult

This is where we get to know each other. We’ll ask a few simple questions to understand your vision, your site and whether we’re the right fit for each other.

Design Brief & Concept Planning

We’ll guide you in creating a detailed brief detailing what you want, what you need, and how you want to live. Then we develop an initial concept plan shaped around your site, budget and goals.

Refinement & Cost Planning

Designs are refined, ideas are explored and costings are carefully prepared. We’ll make as many changes as needed to get everything perfect, including the layout, the inclusions and the budget.

Final Design & Quoting

Once the design is right, we’ll prepare your detailed quote. This includes all requested refinements and adjustments, ensuring transparency and confidence before any financial commitment is made.

Approvals & Pre-Construction

After a small deposit, we begin formal documentation, including working drawings, engineering, contracts and approvals. We’ll also help guide you through interior, exterior and product selections in preparation for council permit lodgement.

Construction & Handover

You’ll meet the site team and stay involved throughout the build. Regular walkthroughs and clear updates keep things on track. When it’s ready, we’ll hand you the keys to a home built to last.

Built on trust.
