Our Process

At Datum Projects, we believe building should be exciting, transparent, and collaborative. With over 20 years of industry experience, we guide you through every stage, from the first sketch to the final handover, ensuring your project runs smoothly and delivers the result you’ve envisioned.
Step 1
Concept & Design

Whether you come to us with a plan or a blank page, we’ll help you bring your vision to life. Working with our building designer, you’ll receive draft plans within 21 days and can make up to three revisions before final approval. We focus on aligning design, lifestyle, and budget from the very beginning.

Step 2
Preliminary Building Agreement

Next, we prepare a detailed scope of works — including engineering plans, permits, and cost optimisation. This stage ensures your project is accurately priced, timelines are defined, and there are no surprises later on. You’ll receive a fixed-price contract and construction drawings ready for approval.

Step 3
Selections

You’ll gain access to our online Selections Showroom, where you can explore finishes, colours, and fixtures curated for your project. This interactive platform allows you to choose items at your convenience and ensures materials are ordered on time — keeping your build on schedule and within budget.

Step 4
Contract Signing

Once your plans and selections are finalised, we’ll present your Fixed Price Contract for review. This includes a stage-by-stage payment schedule and detailed inclusions list. After acceptance, your 5% deposit confirms your build and locks in your construction date.

Step 5
Construction

Our team gets to work, combining expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and best-practice methods to deliver exceptional results. You’ll have access to real-time updates through our Buildern Construction Management Software, keeping you informed at every stage.

Step 6
Completion & Handover

Upon completion, we’ll walk through your new home or extension together to ensure everything meets our shared standards. You’ll receive all relevant warranties, documentation, and maintenance guides — backed by our Structural, Quality, and Satisfaction Guarantees.

From Concept to Completion

Datum Projects builds with precision, honesty, and care — creating spaces you’ll love for years to come.
