Building with FL Developments

Follow your build through our eight stages of construction with our upfront and transparent process. Understand what to expect from FL Developments and the payments required at every stage.

Our Building Process

1. Design

The first step towards building your home is formalised with the signing of the contract. A 6.5% deposit is also required, less any previous deposits already paid.

2. Base Stage

Construction begins with FL Developments setting up temporary site amenities, positioning your home on the block, excavating the land, installing underground services, and pouring the concrete slab.

3. Roof Cover

The structural framework is constructed, including walls, beams, floor joists (for double-storey homes), and roof trusses.
20% progress payment

4. Lock-Up Stage

Your home reaches lock-up once the roof, external windows, doors, and the majority of external wall cladding (excluding aluminium cladding) are installed—or when all internal services are completed and internal wall lining has commenced (excluding garage internal wall cladding).

5. Internal Fit Off

All internal plaster lining, mouldings, architraves, and skirting boards are installed. For double-storey homes, the staircase is built. All built-in shelves, cabinets, cupboards, undermount sinks, basins, and troughs are fitted and fixed in position.
