Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, your house is insured under your builder’s “All Risk Construction” policy. Please note that the insurance expires upon issue of the Certificate of Occupancy.

Generally, it is the owner’s responsibility to arrange these services and we can assist with completing and submitting these applications.

The completion of your new home is dependent upon Council requirements, weather, availability of materials, variations to the contract, etc. We can, however, give an approximate date of completion once we reach the fit-out stage.

Your builder will provide maintenance for up to 13 weeks from when you take occupancy of your dream home.

The inclusions within a house and land package vary from package to package. But rest assured, no matter the level of inclusions, we have quality fixtures and fittings included in every package, all backed by our warranty periods. Please speak with our friendly team on a particular package for detailed inclusions information.

Exactly what it sounds like! A block of land with a suitable design/build combined, to create your perfect house and land package. We can help you with a range of locations and budgets. Our relationships with land agents, developers, and housing estates in the area, means that we have been able to assemble a whole range of options to suit your preferred location, lifestyle, and budget.

It is essential to call your contact at Cunic Homes who will put your variations in writing for you to approve. This will ensure all changes are captured.

There are so many benefits to purchasing a house and land package, the main ones being ease and peace of mind. With a house and land package all the hard work is done for you. We have found the land (that in itself is a major feat in Tasmania at the moment!), selected a design that works within council and subdivision guidelines and figured out any costs associated with the site, meaning no cost surprises later.

Yes, your new home will fit on the concrete or timber floor. It may appear too small, but this is a popular misconception at this stage of construction.

Yes, we offer both split house and land packages, or off the plan house and land packages.

There are many dependents involved in pricing a build including slope over your block, soil quality, home size, level of inclusions, and materials you choose to build with. Contact our friendly team today to discuss our pricing structure further.

The deposit for a house and land package will vary from package to package. Please speak with our friendly team on a particular package for detailed deposit information.

There are many dependents involved in a build including council requirements, the size of your new home, and weather; however, on average Cunic Homes follows an 80 working day Council Application timeframe and a 220 working day construction timeframe following council approvals and permits.

We have both payment on completion and pay during the build options available. We understand finances differ for everyone, so we have made sure we have all options covered to make the purchasing process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Variations requested after the colour selection has been completed can delay the progress and will cost more than adjustments made before the plans and specifications are finalised. It is better to avoid post-contract changes wherever possible.

Sometimes you may be able to keep excess materials (eg. bricks) but you must not do so unless you have written permission from the builder.

Your builder will be more than happy to take you through your new home. To arrange a viewing, contact our friendly staff during business hours with your requirements. With your safety in mind, we are unable to allow access to a construction site unaccompanied.

It is better if you do not discuss the work with sub-contractors. Any instructions or changes given to sub-contractors must only come from your builder. Due to requirements of the builder’s insurance policy, you should not visit the site unless you have permission from the builder.
