Lavish Constructions

Master Builder and business owner, Tom Haydock, has had a lifelong relationship with building and construction, beginning as he did growing up on a farm, which set him on his path early, captivated with making things with his hands. He naturally progressed into construction and engineering-based subjects, excelling at these in high school and then moving on to an apprenticeship with a Toowoomba based custom builder.

“Being a small, boutique building company, my apprenticeship meant learning the trade through a vast scope of works, many more project types that I would have been exposed to otherwise. Innovation and progress were valued highly and I am proud to bring these values into all the work that I do.”

Professional, experienced, exacting, and always loving the process, Tom’s industry expertise and enquiring mind track the build and progress closely, deeply connected to it as he is to ensure these qualities come through in his work.

How can I know that your quote won’t contain hidden costs and blow out my budget?
We discuss all aspects of your project early on and prioritise honest and open discussions about the level of finish you want. This then translates to your specifications so we know if we need to allow a higher inclusions list to more suit your taste. All designs are formalised and engineering reports completed before you sign a contract to give you certainty. You will also have full access to our online project management software to see how much you have allocated to spend on each item, clearly showing you if you are going over your intended budget.

We have a block of land and want to start getting some designs started. Do we want to build a modern house where do we start?

1. The best place to start is with a thorough initial, in-person consultation to clearly discuss the three foundational factors:
   Your block - which will need to involve a site inspection. 
2. What rooms do you want to create in your home. 
3. What level of finish you are seeking. It’s a great idea to do some research on social media, particularly Pinterest. Gather images together that reflect the style and finish you want. This will give us a clear direction from the outset.

What is your square meterage rate for building a house?
Our focus is on custom made homes tailored to your style and budget. As a result, prices will vary between homes and we are unable to quote on a square meterage rate.

Getting Started
An initial consultation is a great way to get things started. Together we will talk through the details of your project. This important first step builds the foundations for our relationship and the journey ahead to bring your vision and dream to form. 

During the consultation we will:

• Discuss exactly what you need.
• Explore your budget and advise what you can expect from your money
• Get an idea of your timeline expectations and availability.
• Discuss any ideas you have and how they fit with your budget.
• Formulate a plan to move forward.
