Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about building with Quality Custom Homes.
General
Yes. Quality Custom Homes is QBCC licensed (#15544319) and fully insured for all building work across Queensland. All trades on our team are appropriately qualified and carry their own insurance where required.
Yes. We manage all council approvals, building permits, engineering certifications, and compliance documentation end-to-end. You do not need to coordinate with council directly — we handle it as part of our service.
We provide fixed-price quotes after an initial consultation and site assessment. Your quote locks in the scope, inclusions, and timeline so there are no surprise cost increases during the build.
Timelines vary by scope — sheds are typically 2-6 weeks from slab to handover, bathroom renovations 3-6 weeks, and custom homes 8-12 months from design approval. We provide a detailed schedule with every quote.
Yes. All our work is backed by QBCC statutory warranty periods plus manufacturer warranties on materials, fixtures, and structural components. Warranty terms are included in every contract.
We use standard progress-payment schedules tied to build milestones — deposit, slab, lock-up, fix, and completion. All payment terms are documented in your contract before work begins.
