Design and Build

Tessellar Sdn Bhd will design and build a home specific to your needs and budget.

Building your own home is probably the biggest single investment you will make, outside of your business. And it’s not just any house – it’s your dream home. We aim to provide a one-stop solution that takes out the problems and uncertainties from the endeavour, at the end of which is the house that you deserve, delivered on schedule at the cost that you budgeted for.

Too often, the burden of overseeing the architect, consultant's and contractor, the hassle of chasing after approvals from the Authorities and the disappointment with the quality of the product, together with cost overruns and delays, turn the dream into a nightmare.

Our business concept is based on making it easy for the client.

Our Design and Build Services comes in three stages:

The first Stage is the architectural design stage. The potential client is interviewed about his family's needs and requirements, his budget and how he imagines his house should be. We will also visit the site to study its features and constraints.

With the information gathered, we will draw up the first design with plans and elevations for the client to review. Taking into account further comments by the client, we will refine it so that he is satisfied with the architectural layout.

The result from the first stage will be a unique plan that meets your specific needs and budget.

The Second Stage starts out with a Letter of Offer to propose a detailed design and costing of the proposed bungalow.

The scope of services at this stage includes:

i) a survey of the site to locate the position of the proposed building.

ii) to undertake mackintosh probe soil test to determine the building foundation design.

iii) prepare detailed architectural drawings ready for submission to the Local Authority.

iv) designing the structure.

v) design the electrical and plumbing.

vi) prepare 3D computer model and perspectives.

All these are necessary to describe accurately the design of your house. As a result this, Tessellar Sdn Bhd is able to prepare a detailed cost estimate which is competitive and which can be evaluated independently by the client.

This stage requires some expenses to be incurred. We will ask for a deposit to cover these costs.

At the end of this stage, which will take 4 to 6 weeks Tessellar Sdn Bhd will present you a Letter of Offer to Build your bungalow together (with all of the work described above) at a cost not exceeding your budget.

On acceptance of the Offer to Design and Build, the Third Stage commences with the immediate submission of the building plans to the Authorities, the preparation of a Contract Document.

The Contract Document prepared can be used to get a bank or government loan.

Groundbreaking will start immediately upon receiving the building approvals. The works will carry on according to a detailed schedule and in accordance to the Drawings and Specifications.

Normally, Building Approval takes 3 to 4 months and Building Works another 8 months.

Our objective is to hand over to you a completed house, defect-free, with high quality finishing, connected to water and electricity, ready for immediate occupation.
