Who Are We
We are an innovative "Design and Construction" company, committed to delivering bespoke, high-quality projects that showcase our expertise in both design and building. Our focus on precision and attention to detail is evident throughout every project, as we are deeply passionate about both our craft and the relationships we build with our clients. Founded and led by two local brothers, Luke and Toby Reading, both of whom are master builders, our family-run business has quickly established a strong reputation in the construction industry for delivering exceptional results and unmatched customer satisfaction.
What We Can Do For You
Beachill offers a comprehensive design and construction service that brings each client’s vision to life. We begin with careful land surveying to determine factors such as the best sun orientation, land slope, and access points, ensuring every aspect is considered. From initial concept designs to detailed final drawings, and securing all necessary council permits and approvals, we create a realistic budget by incorporating design innovations. Our all inclusive project approach simplifies the building process, reducing the stress typically associated with construction, so you can enjoy more quality time with your family.
Our Process
1. Initial Enquiry
If you’d like to discuss your project with Beachill Construction Solutions, please reach out to our office at (02) 9971 0071, submit an enquiry through our website's "Enquiry Form," or visit us at Unit 57, 176 South Creek Road, Cromer. We’ll gladly arrange a convenient time for an on-site meeting to review your project requirements.
2. Consultation
We prefer to hold the initial consultation at your home, as it allows us to better understand the location and its unique features. During this meeting, you’ll meet with Luke Reading (Beachill Joint Director) and Marcus Betts (Beachill Designer). Our goal is to listen carefully to your ideas and needs, and to gain a clear understanding of the design vision you want to bring to life. We’ll also discuss key elements such as your design brief, finishes, layouts, colours, specifications, and budget. After this discussion, we’ll provide you with our "Design & Construction Fee Proposal," which outlines the process from creating Initial Concept Drawings to completing Final Drawings and Documentation.
3. Detailed Concept & Planning
Once you approve our "Design & Construction Fee Proposal," we will begin developing detailed Concept Drawings based on your Project Brief. These will include Floor Plans, Elevations, Site Plans, and 3D Renders. We will then arrange a meeting on site to present these drawings along with a “Project Budget Estimate”. This meeting provides an opportunity for us to address any questions or concerns and ensures we are aligned with your vision.
Following this discussion, we will proceed with creating the final drawings and necessary documentation, engaging the required consultants to support the submission process. Depending on the specifics of your project, it may require either a Complying Development Consent (CDC) or a Development Application (DA). Processing times for these approvals can range from 3-6 weeks for a CDC, and 3-6 months for a DA. Beachill Construction Solutions works closely with Town Planners and Private Certifiers to expedite this process and reduce delays.
Once the necessary approvals and Consultant Reports are in place, we will provide you with a “Fixed Price Building Quotation.” Upon your acceptance, we will prepare the “HIA NSW Residential Building Contract” for you to review and sign, ensuring complete clarity and confidence throughout the process.
4. Construction
At Beachill, we prioritize comprehensive project planning. Before any work begins on-site, we ensure that all key project elements—such as PC items, tiles, joinery, stone, cladding, finishes, colours, and more—are carefully confirmed. These details are then documented in our "Project Finishes Schedule" to ensure everything is aligned from the start.
Each Beachill project is guided by a detailed "Project Timeline Schedule," tailored to meet your preferred completion dates. This schedule helps you track progress and ensures that everything stays on course throughout the build. Construction work will begin within 2-3 weeks of receiving the Construction Certificate for your project.
During the construction phase, Toby Reading (Beachill Joint Director) will serve as your dedicated on-site Project Manager and primary point of contact. He will oversee the entire process to ensure everything runs smoothly and according to plan.
5. Project Completion
Once your project is complete, Toby Reading (Beachill Joint Director) will conduct a final walk-through with you to review the work and hand over all keys, warranties, and related documentation for your home. Additionally, Beachill will coordinate the submission of all necessary certificates to our Private Certifier, ensuring that the Final Occupation Certificate is issued.
Beachill works closely with you to provide a fixed-price quote that aligns with your project budget. We use the Housing Industry Association's “NSW Residential Building – Fixed Price Contract,” which clearly defines the scope of work and pricing for each project, eliminating any unexpected costs. Our commitment to transparency is reflected in our detailed documentation and contracts, ensuring no hidden surprises.
