Eight stages, one point of contact, one accountable party.
Design, then build: three to six months to design, twelve to twenty-two to build, and twelve months of aftercare after the keys.
Stage by stage, what we do.
Indicative durations based on typical KAPA projects. Actual timelines depend on authority approvals and site conditions.
Design phase
3–6 months- 1
Discovery
Initial consultation: the site, the brief, the budget and whether the plot supports what you want.
- 2
Concept Design
Layout, mood images and a preliminary budget. The first point at which the numbers and the drawings are tested against each other.
- 3
Schematic Design
Visualisations, elevations and 3D renderings. You see the house before it is committed.
- 4
Authority Submission
Approvals lodged and a detailed cost breakdown issued.
Initial consultation: the site, the brief, the budget and whether the plot supports what you want.

Final Handover
Keys, and the start of the defects liability period.
One point of contact, and what it covers.
Less to manage. More to come home to.
One team from the plot to the keys, answering for all of it.
A landed home is usually three companies and three contracts — a designer, a builder and a project manager, each answering for its own part. KAPA is one team from the plot to the keys, and answers for all of it.
Tell us about your plot.
A first conversation is a feasibility view on what your site can take — not a sales call.
