Navigating the Construction Timeline: What to Expect When Building with EPIX Build

Building a new home or development is an exciting journey — but one that involves careful planning, clear communication and a structured timeline. At EPIX Build, we believe that understanding the construction process from start to finish empowers our clients and helps create a smoother, more predictable experience.

Whether you're a developer, investor or homeowner, knowing what to expect at each stage allows you to make confident decisions and track progress effectively.

The EPIX Build Construction Timeline – Step by Step

At EPIX Build, our process is designed to be transparent, efficient and collaborative. Here's a general overview of the key stages you can expect when building with us:

1. Pre-Construction Phase

Before construction begins, we manage all essential groundwork to set the project up for success. This includes:

• Finalising architectural plans and engineering documentation
  
  

• Obtaining permits and approvals
  
  

• Conducting site inspections and preparation
  
  

• Confirming budgets and timelines
  
  

EPIX Build works closely with all stakeholders to ensure the project is compliant, properly scoped and ready to progress.

2. Site Establishment and Earthworks

Once the green light is given, we begin with site setup and early works:

• Site fencing, safety signage and temporary services
  
  

• Earthworks and excavation
  
  

• Slab preparation or basement works (if applicable)
  
  

This stage forms the physical foundation for the project and is critical for structural integrity.

3. Structural Framing and Lock-Up

As the building starts to take shape, you'll begin to see progress move quickly:

• Framing (timber or steel) erected
  
  

• Roof trusses installed
  
  

• Windows and external doors fitted
  
  

At this point, the site is considered at the lock-up stage, meaning the structure is secure and weatherproof.

4. Services and Fit-Out

With the exterior enclosed, we move on to the internal services and finishes:

• Plumbing and electrical rough-ins
  
  

• Insulation and plastering
  
  

• Cabinetry, tiling, flooring and painting
  
  

• Final fixtures and appliances installed
  
  

Throughout this stage, EPIX Build ensures quality control and keeps all trades aligned to the project schedule.

5. Completion and Handover

Before the handover, we conduct a thorough quality assurance review, ensuring all work meets our high standards. This final stage includes:

• Final inspections and compliance checks
  
  

• Practical completion certificate
  
  

• Walkthrough with the client or developer
  
  

• Handover of keys and documentation
  
  

EPIX Build also remains available after handover for any support or post-construction queries.

Clear Communication from Start to Finish

We understand that construction can feel overwhelming, especially if you're new to the process. That’s why EPIX Build provides regular updates, progress reports and milestone notifications, so you're never left guessing. Our team is always available to answer questions and make adjustments as needed.

Delivering on Time and with Confidence

Timely delivery is just as important as quality. With structured project management, experienced site teams and strong supplier relationships, EPIX Build ensures that every stage of the timeline is executed with precision and care.
