We've developed a streamlined, transparent approach to ensure your custom home building journey is smooth and rewarding from start to finish.
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle needs, design preferences, and budget parameters. This is where we capture your vision and start translating it into a practical building plan. We'll discuss timeframes, potential challenges, and preliminary budget considerations to ensure we're aligned from the very beginning.
Based on our initial consultation, we develop comprehensive design concepts for your custom home. This includes architectural plans, interior layouts, material selections, and detailed specifications. We work collaboratively with you through multiple iterations, refining the design until it perfectly captures your vision while remaining within budget parameters.
Once the design is finalised, we handle all necessary council approvals, building permits, and regulatory requirements. Our extensive experience with Gold Coast building regulations ensures a smooth approval process. We also finalise all contracts, construction schedules, and material selections during this phase to prepare for a seamless build.
With all approvals and preparations in place, construction begins under the supervision of our experienced project managers. We maintain strict quality control standards throughout the build, with regular inspections and progress updates. You'll receive consistent communication throughout this phase, including scheduled site visits to see your home taking shape.
Once construction is complete, we conduct thorough quality inspections to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards. We then walk you through your new custom home, explaining all features and systems. After addressing any final adjustments, we provide all warranties, certificates, and documentation, completing the handover of your dream home.

The timeline for a custom home build varies based on size, complexity, site conditions, and weather. Typically, our custom homes take between 8-14 months from design approval to completion. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a more detailed timeline specific to your project, and we'll keep you updated throughout the process with regular progress reports.
Custom home costs vary significantly based on size, design complexity, site requirements, materials, and finishes. On the Gold Coast, custom homes typically start from approximately $3,500-$4,000 per square metre for standard quality, while premium and luxury builds can range from $5,000-$10,000+ per square metre. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after our design phase, ensuring you understand exactly what you're investing in.
No, we offer complete design services as part of our custom home building process. Our team works with trusted architects and designers to create your home from concept to completion. However, if you already have plans or are working with an architect, we're happy to collaborate with them to bring your design to life. We're flexible in our approach and can adapt to wherever you are in your journey.
Absolutely. JL Coastal Projects is fully licensed (QBCC Licence #15371883) and carries comprehensive insurance coverage, including public liability insurance and home warranty insurance. All our contractors and tradespeople are also properly licensed and insured, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements and quality standards for residential construction in Queensland.
We encourage as much involvement as you desire. Some clients prefer to be hands-on throughout the entire process, while others prefer to step back and let us handle the details. At minimum, we schedule regular progress meetings and key decision points where your input is essential. Our online client portal also allows you to track progress, view photos, and communicate with our team at your convenience.
Yes, we provide the statutory 6-year structural warranty on all our builds as required by Queensland Building and Construction Commission regulations. Additionally, we offer a 12-month builder's maintenance period covering all aspects of our workmanship. Most fixtures, appliances, and materials also come with manufacturers' warranties, which we pass on to you at project completion with all relevant documentation.
We understand that sometimes changes are necessary during construction. We have a formal variation process that ensures all changes are documented, priced, and approved before implementation. This transparency helps manage expectations and prevents unexpected cost increases. We recommend finalising as many decisions as possible during the design phase to minimise changes during construction.
We follow the Queensland Building and Construction Commission's recommended progress payment schedule for residential construction. This typically includes an initial deposit followed by staged payments at key milestones (e.g., slab completion, frame stage, lock-up, fixing stage, practical completion). This ensures you only pay for work that has been completed and verified, maintaining transparency throughout the project.
