The Apollo process

Six stages. No surprises.

Every Apollo home, whether it is one of three on an infill lot or a custom house, moves through the same six stages, with the same documents at each one. This is the process in full.

The conversation

We meet, on site if there is one. We talk about what you want to build or own, what it should cost, and whether Apollo is the right fit. If it is not, we say so.

  • Site visit
  • Budget range
  • Fit, both ways

Design and a fixed price

Plans are drawn or chosen, and we price the home in full. The price is fixed, with a short list of allowances for the things you will choose late: appliances and light fixtures.

  • Written specification
  • Fixed-price agreement
  • Allowance schedule

Selections

You choose finishes from curated palettes, one material at a time, with the reason behind each. Every selection is signed off in writing, and any change after that is a written change order with its cost shown.

  • Selections sign-off
  • Change orders in writing
  • Allowance tracker

Construction

Trades we have worked with for years build to the drawings. Milestones are fixed at the start, inspections are booked ahead, and you get a photo update from site every week.

  • Fixed milestones
  • Weekly photo update
  • City and third-party inspections

Pre-delivery inspection

Before possession we walk the home together, room by room, against the specification. Anything that is not right goes on a deficiency list with a date beside it.

  • PDI checklist
  • Deficiency list with dates
  • Homeowner manual

Possession and Apollo Care

Keys, the warranty certificate, and one place to send anything that comes up. We come back at 30 days and at one year.

  • Warranty enrolment
  • 30-day and one-year visits
  • Apollo Care

Why it is written down

A process you can hold us to

Most of what goes wrong between a builder and a buyer goes wrong because something was never written down. Our specification, price, selections and inspection are all documents you keep. If something is not on paper, it is not a promise, and we would rather put it on paper.
