How paying for it works

How the money works on one of our jobs, and where we don't have an answer for you yet.

The payment terms, in full

This is the part we can set out in full today.

  • A fixed price, in writing, first

    We measure the space and quote it. That figure is what you pay. It does not move once work starts, and there are no allowances that get revised later.

  • A Master Builders contract

    Drawn up before anything begins, on the standard industry terms.

  • A [5–10%] deposit

    Paid on signing. We do the check-measure once it comes in, so the drawings match the ground before materials are ordered.

  • Progressive payments after that

    Payments fall due as the work goes up. You never pay for something that has not been built, and you never fund the whole job up front.

What the figure covers

Design, engineering, the council application, construction and certification are all in the price. Nothing gets quoted separately once the job is under way.

On any quote you get, ours included, check whether council approval is inside the number. On ours it is.

Third-party finance

This section is not finished yet.Sunstate is still choosing which finance provider to offer. Until we can tell you the lender, the rate, the term and what the repayments come to on a real job, we will not put anything here.

[Lender — to be confirmed]
[Rate and term — to be confirmed]
[Worked repayment example on a [5–10%] deposit — to be confirmed]

If it is the timing of payments that worries you more than the total, call us. The progress payments above already spread the cost across the build, and you may not need third-party finance at all.
