From the beginning, our motto was build every home as if

From the beginning, our motto was build every home as if it were our own and it still is. While our values haven t changed, a lot has changed here in WA. Our lifestyles have changed, the way we work and play has changed, and so our homes are different too. Thirty five years ago you would have got some strange looks talking about a theatre room, an outdoor kitchen or smart wiring! What s also changed in 35 years is how busy people are. To respond, we ve launched a new End to End service. In a nutshell, End to End is designed to save time and stress by taking care of the extras on your behalf. It takes time to find contractors and get quotes for demolition, air conditioning, fire places, floor coverings, landscaping and all of the details that really finish your home. The benefit of End to End is that we have a bank of reliable contractors with strong, long-term relationships. We can use our experience and those relationships to take care of any or all of those details for you, and you ll have just one point of contact for the whole process. We hope you enjoy the stories of our clients who have experienced the End to End journey with us. We look forward to helping you on your journey soon. 2

We decided to look into Resolve after complaining to Rita about the lack of service we were getting from our bank, considering we ve been with them for 12 years. Rita suggested we contact Resolve, so we met Phil and instantly felt at ease. We re still dealing with the same bank and got the same deal, but Phil has handled everything much like a private bank manager. He also works with Webb & Brown- Neaves regularly and understands what s involved with the building process, said Justin. While the construction is under way, the Martins have begun working on their pool and backyard design. We are using all Webb & Brown-Neaves recommended contractors and the team has definitely assisted in this process. Our building supervisor met with our pool contractor to work out the best design for our block, as it s going to be an area the whole family use for many years to come. We can t wait to move in. This will be our family home for a long time, even after our daughter has grown up and moved out. TOP TIPS FROM THE MARTINS. Choose your builder wisely. The cheapest option is not always the best option. Look at a builder s existing homes and see how they present five or ten years later. If you want a pool, plan ahead before you build as it could get costly to do once the house is finished. PHIL JOHNSON - RESOLVE FINANCE. START WITH THE END IN mind When you re thinking about your dream home, you might imagine the number of bedrooms you need. Or the position of your pool. Whatever your dream house looks like, take the next step towards it by speaking with experts in construction finance. According to Phil Johnson at Resolve Finance, it s worth consulting a mortgage broker who knows what the building process involves. We specialise in construction finance, which is very different from regular home loans, said Phil. With our in-depth understanding of the building process, we know precisely what your builder and lender requirements are, what s needed and when. We co-ordinate your progress payments so it all happens smoothly with no unnecessary delays to your home. The team at Resolve Finance access a wide range of home loan products to find the best fit for each client. Even if you end up using a product from your existing bank, we ll organise the whole process for you saving you time and effort. And you ll have the peace of mind of knowing you have the right loan. Phil recommends organising pre-approval so you know exactly what you can spend on your home. Your broker will need details of your financial situation including what you earn and your debts. They will also need to know how much of a deposit you have towards your new home. The bigger your deposit, the less mortgage insurance you ll need to pay.

When Neil and Joyce decided they needed more room for their family, they knew they wanted a streamlined solution. They decided to build a home for the second time with Webb & Brown-Neaves. With the two boys growing up and lots of big boys toys around, we needed more space, said Neil. We had a deteriorating investment property that needed expensive repairs so that provided the perfect opportunity for us to bowl it over and build our dream home. The busy Hutchisons soon found a Webb & Brown-Neaves display home they liked. We loved the Sundowner display but wanted to make a few changes to the floor plan. So our Building + Design Consultant, Kim Gartrell, incorporated these ideas to create a home that suited our requirements and our lifestyle. Neil and Joyce noticed some changes building with Webb & Brown-Neaves a second time. It was a good experience when we built back in 2004 but it was even better this time. The design and prestart processes were really streamlined and the house fit-out and finishes are better than ever. There were also a lot of extras we didn t expect would be included. Webb & Brown-Neaves are certainly thinking ahead and future-proofing their clients needs. The Hutchisons enjoyed the building process again this time. We worked with a great team from sales and design through to prestart. Our building supervisor, Ray Barclay, took it through to completion and our home was built on time and on budget. There was attention to detail all the way through. We now have a great home for living and entertaining. We have enough space for all our family and friends to be together or we can each do our own thing in separate areas and not be in each other s way. Why go on holidays when we have it all at home? TOP TIPS FROM THE HUTCHISONS. Know your block. Take its location, the sun and wind direction, trees and vegetation and the outlook over neighbouring properties into account. Choose the right design to make the most of any views and enjoy Perth s great outdoor lifestyle. Don t be afraid to alter floor plans and talk through your options with the sales and design team. 12

T o celebrate the completion of each new home, our clients are treated to a personal chef experience prepared in their own brand new kitchen by chef Ryan John and his team. For clients such as Jaco Klopper, it s a fantastic opportunity to entertain guests and enjoy culinary delights without lifting a finger. Jaco enjoyed the process of building his home and especially loves his new kitchen customised with three ovens. Webb & Brown-Neaves was ahead of their scheduled building timelines and always open to new ideas and modern thinking, he said. The professional approach, especially during the planning phase with my Building + Design Consultant Kim Gartrell, was more than could be expected. Kim was instrumental in implementing all of my special requirements, such as polished concrete floors and modern ceilings. Among Jaco s guests at his private chef experience were his business partner and special visitors from South Africa. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They commented that they enjoyed great food, great company and an excellent house! Chef Ryan John enjoys the role he and his team of chefs play in the experience. The kitchen table is right at the heart of Webb & Brown-Neaves homes, and in most cases the clients are seated within a couple of metres of the chef, said Ryan. People love being able to watch the chef and talk about their own culinary adventures or disasters. For the home owners, I really enjoy the surprise element when they realise that a world-class meal just came out of their very own kitchen!. GREAT FOOD, GREAT COMPANY. AND AN. EXCELLENT. HOUSE!.
