Question 1

How do I know if my block is subdividable?

Accepted Answer

Subdivision potential is determined by the WAPC and your local council, based on lot size, frontage and zoning (R-Codes/RMD Codes). At Modern Projects, we can assess your block and provide clear guidance so you can make informed decisions and maximise your land’s potential.

Question 2

How long does subdivision take?

Accepted Answer

Timeframes vary, but in the current market it can take up to 12 months to receive titles. There are two key stages:

WAPC conditional approval
Meeting all conditions before titles are issued

We’ll guide you through each step, so you always know what to expect.

Question 3

How long will it take to build?

Accepted Answer

Build times depend on the construction method and builder. As a guide:

Steel frame: 6–12 months (single storey), 12–15 months (double storey)
Double brick: approx. 12 months (single storey), 18 months (double storey)

Question 4

Why choose steel frame over double brick?

Accepted Answer

Both options have benefits but steel frame is becoming increasingly popular in Perth thanks to:

Faster construction times
Cost efficiencies
Strong thermal and acoustic performance
Zero termite risk

We can talk you through each option to ensure your choice aligns with your budget, and design.

Question 5

Can I view a display home?

Accepted Answer

Most of our homes are custom designed, so display homes aren’t available for every project. However, we work closely with our building partners and can arrange viewings of homes with similar layouts, finishes and specifications.

Question 6

When will the property be built?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on when titles are issued and the construction method chosen. We’ll walk you through the expected timeframe for each individual project.

Question 7

What is the process for selecting the builder?

Accepted Answer

We partner with builders who best match the location, design requirements and expected outcomes for each project. Key considerations include:

Strong reputation
Reliable supply chains
Proven ability to deliver on projects in current market conditions

Question 8

How do I schedule a property viewing?

Accepted Answer

Booking an information session with Modern Projects is the best way to access full project details. We’ll guide you through designs, pricing, timelines and next steps.

Question 9

What’s the process for buying a soon-to-be-built home?

Accepted Answer

It's important to understand the full cost of the land, siteworks and construction so you can secure appropriate finance. The process typically includes:

Confirm pre-approval with your broker
Review full project details, including inclusions and specifications
Sign the land contract (Offer & Acceptance) and HIA building contract
Settle on the land
Complete prestart selections (finishes, colours, electrical plan)
Construction typically begins 1–3 months after titles

We guide you through each phase to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Question 10

Do you assist with finance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with a team of experienced brokers who can assist with finance pre-approval and project funding.
