Our Process: Why Every Great Build Starts with a Conversation

Written by Admin | Jul 9, 2025 11:32:07 PM

 

It all starts with a conversation.

At Muskens Building Co., we believe that every successful project starts with understanding you. That’s why our process always begins with a Discovery Call – a simple but powerful first step towards creating your dream home.
 

What is a Discovery Call?

This is what we often refer to as a Discovery Call—a free, no-obligation phone or video chat designed to help us get to know each other. It’s your opportunity to share:

  • What you’re hoping to build or renovate

  • Where you are in your planning journey

  • Your ideas, priorities, and concerns

  • Any questions you might have about council approvals, timelines, budgets, or design options

But just as importantly, it's our chance to put a voice to the name, understand your needs, and give you a feel for who we are and how we work.

 

Why the First Conversation Matters

Building a custom home is a huge investment—financially and emotionally. Many people come to us feeling unsure or even skeptical:
"Am I going to be ripped off?"
"Will I be understood?"
"Are these builders the right people to trust with my home?"

This first conversation is where we start breaking those fears down.

Clarity – We begin with a clear understanding of your vision
Trust – You get to know us and our approach, helping you decide if we're the right fit
Efficiency – We guide you on what to do next, without wasting time
Connection – You’re not just a project—we want to know the people behind the home

Our goal is to make the process feel less daunting and more human—because you're not just choosing a builder, you're choosing a team you’ll be working closely with for months.

Quick Tips for Our First Call

To make the most of our initial chat, here are a few helpful things you can ask:

  • Do you build in my area?

  • Have you done projects like mine before?

  • How does your process work from here?

  • What should I start preparing?

No pressure—this isn’t an interview or a sales pitch. It’s simply the first step in finding out if we’re the right fit for each other.

 

What Comes Next After We Chat?

If we both feel there’s a good connection and potential for the project, we’ll usually organise a Site Visit depending on your location and scope.

We’ll also send you a Client Information Pack, which includes more about us—our process, timelines, values, and how we work so you can make an informed decision moving forward.
