Tender & Contract
Transparent Fixed-Price Agreement
Typical Duration: 2–3 Weeks
Tender & Contract
The tender stage is where every element of your home is priced with precision. Unlike builders who rely on provisional sums (placeholder allowances that routinely blow out), OZ Dream Homes provides fully specified, fixed-price contracts. Our estimating team works through every item — structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and external works — using current market rates from our trusted subcontractor network. You receive a comprehensive tender document that details every inclusion, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Once you are satisfied with the tender, we prepare the formal HIA (Housing Industry Association) contract, which protects both parties and clearly defines the project timeline, payment schedule, and variation process.
