Building a new home in Castle Hill NSW
New homes in Castle Hill rarely sit in a fresh estate. They replace an older house on an existing block, sometimes as a single larger home and sometimes as a dual occupancy. That brings demolition, existing trees and neighbours close by, and often a slope. The builder works to the plans approved by The Hills Shire Council or through a complying development certificate, and a principal certifier carries out the critical stage inspections. Independent stage inspections sit alongside that.
Rebuilds are approved by development application or complying development certificate.
A principal certifier attends the critical stage inspections.
Sloping blocks often need piers or stepped footings.
A dilapidation report on neighbouring homes protects you during demolition and excavation.
Book slab, frame and handover as the core stages.
