Our process
Our house building process makes building your dream home simple
Three simple stages
To keep things simple, we’ve broken the process of building a house down into three stages. To help you understand what these stages mean, they can be broadly defined as planning, design, and build. Each stage of the new home construction process has its own steps detailed below. If you are looking to build a house in Canterbury and you’d like your building process to be stress-free, get in touch with independent construction specialists at My Build Sorted and let us do the hard work for you.
