Gumpy Inclusions

There are three main stages in the construction of a GUMPY – lock up, lined out and completed to occupancy. Lock up as a phrase relates to the building literally being locked up and includes the floor, panels, internal wall framing and doors, first floor ceiling lining and insulation, roof, windows, external doors and stair if two storey. Lots of things happen after lock up stage but it is a good place to start. Linings, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical and plumbing can vary dramatically in cost depending on the site and your requirements. The following indicates what is included at each stage as standard.

Design Consultation

The design consultation includes two (2) consultation sessions for advice in relation to plan layout and siting. Any changes to the standard GUMPY designs may incur additional charges.

Site Inspections

After initial design consultation, an official site inspection is required and will incur a fee of $300. This fee will be deducted off the total amount after a sales agreement has been signed. A site inspection is required before finalisation can be made to any sales agreement.
