Where AP Designer Homes builds

We only show a market where coverage is confirmed - not every builder operates in both Adelaide and Melbourne. Service radius and workload change quarter to quarter, so always confirm AP Designer Homes is quoting on projects in your specific suburb.
What to check before you request a quote
- •Site suitability: Have you built on a block like mine (slope, soil, access, frontage), and will you complete a site inspection before quoting?
- •Standard inclusions: What is in the standard inclusions versus what is shown in the display home?
- •Provisional allowances: Which line items are provisional sums or allowances, and are they capped?
- •Design changes: Can I modify the design, and how are variations approved and priced?
- •External works: Are driveway, fencing, landscaping and site costs included, or extra?
- •Quote validity & exclusions: How long is the quote valid, and what is explicitly excluded?
