Melbourne's West · Fixed price
Five stages, in order, with the timing named and the things that can move it named too. No twelve months of wondering what is happening on your site.
How long it takes
Two stretches decide it, and only one of them is ours to promise. Here is which, plainly.
Varies
Council and titles run on their own clock. We map real dates for your block at the first meeting.
6 to 8 months
Each stage is finished and inspected before the next one is invoiced.
Weather, council and materials. Every build meets one of them. You hear it from us, not from the silence.
The price. Agreed before we start, and a delay is not a reason to reopen it.
The process
The same five stages on every Zaman build, whatever we are building. Each one is finished and inspected before the next is invoiced.
(01) — CONSULT
A free design & budget conversation — no obligation, no pressure.
We sit down with you, your block and your budget, and give you an honest read on what's actually possible. You leave knowing more, owing nothing.
(02) — DESIGN
Custom to your site, your orientation, your budget — never a catalogue box.
We design around how you actually live and the block you're building on — light, aspect, the way your family moves through a day — and refine it together until it's right.
(03) — FIXED PRICE
A fixed-price contract, every inclusion itemised in writing.
Before a single brick is laid, you get one transparent price with everything itemised. The number we agree is the number you pay — that's the whole point of Zaman.
(04) — BUILD
Regular updates and one point of contact, the whole way through.
Your own site supervisor and one person who knows your build, with regular updates as it rises. No twelve months of radio silence wondering what's happening.
(05) — HANDOVER
A full walk-through, your warranty, and the keys in your hand.
We walk every room together, hand over your warranty and structural guarantee, and you step into a home built exactly as agreed — typically in 6–8 months.
The part people complain about most
Ask anyone who had a bad build and they rarely lead with the delay. They lead with not being able to get an answer.
A salesperson signs you up, then hands you to a supervisor you have never met.
One person, first meeting to handover, who has stood on your block. [TK] Name and direct mobile to be confirmed.
You ring, you leave a message, and you find out weeks after it happened.
A checkpoint at every stage, because each one is inspected before it is invoiced.
A chat on site that nobody wrote down, remembered differently six months later.
Anything that changes the build or the price is confirmed in writing.
Energy & comfort
Most builders let you meet the energy rating for the first time as a line on a contract. Here is what it actually means for the home you are about to live in.
The standard has applied to every new home in Victoria since 2024. Any builder presenting it as an upgrade is charging you for the law.
Every new home in Victoria has to reach 7 stars. It should never appear on your quote as an optional extra.
Glazing, insulation, sealing and the way the house sits on your block. Designed in from the first sketch, not added at the end.
A home that holds its temperature is cheaper to run every year you live in it. The rating is the compliance number. The comfort is the point.
Everything needed to reach the standard is inside the price we agree, not a variation arriving halfway through.
