Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about how we build — from process and timelines to budgets, design, and everything in between.
-
Q1: What types of homes do you build?
Custom modern new builds, design & build projects, modern renovations, and premium fit-outs — all defined by sharp architectural lines, open-plan layouts, and high-performance finishes.
-
Q2: Where do you build?
We're based in Norwood, in Adelaide's inner east, and build across the greater Adelaide area. Because we're a new and agile company, we deliberately take on a limited number of builds at a time — so yours gets our undivided attention.
-
Q3: Can we customize the design of our home?
Every home we build is bespoke from the first conversation. We design around how you live — layout, materials, light, and the connection between indoor and outdoor space — not from a catalog.
-
Q4: How do you keep me informed during the build?
Transparent communication is our standard. You'll get regular, clear updates on progress, costs, and decisions — plus scheduled site walkthroughs — so you always know exactly where your home stands.
-
Q5: How long does a build take?
Every build moves through four stages — consultation, design, construction, and handover. A custom new build typically runs 10–16 months from the first sketch; renovations vary with scope. You'll get a clear milestone plan before we break ground.
-
Q6: How do you handle budget and changes?
We agree a clear, itemized budget before construction starts, and you see where every dollar goes. If you want to change something mid-build, we give you the cost and the impact on the timeline up front — no surprises.
-
Q7: Can we bring our own architect?
Yes — our design & build service includes in-house architecture, but we're happy to build with your architect, designer, or engineer. One team, one accountable point of contact either way.
-
Q8: How do we get started?
Send us a message through the contact form, email us, or call. We'll set up a free consultation to talk through your vision, your site, and what's possible — then lay out the next steps.
-
Q9: Where is Archo based?
Archo Construction is based in Norwood, in Adelaide's inner east — 45 Kensington Road, Norwood SA 5067 — and we build across the greater Adelaide area. (placeholder address)
