Party!
You made it. Throw the housewarming you earned.
The most important stage. Invite the people who believed in your project when the site was a hole in the ground. Quietly don't invite the ones who said it would never happen.
You made it.
The hammer's down. The dust has settled. The skip bins have left for good. All that's left is the bit you've been picturing since you first opened a Pinterest tab.
Send invites
Pick the people who turned up to the working bees, not the ones who turned up with opinions.
Feed them properly
Pizza is fine. A backyard BBQ is better. Catering is showing off (and entirely fair).
Make a toast
Thank the tradies by name. They will not be there. They will hear about it from the one who was.
Photograph the rooms before they get lived-in
The 'finished' look has a half-life. This is your last chance for clean shots.
Tour, don't lecture
Walk people through. Don't list every decision. Save the variations spreadsheet for the conveyancer.
Loud enough to enjoy, quiet enough to keep neighbours friendly
You may need their fence repaired one day. Be kind to the speakers.
From a hole in the ground to here
Every house has its story. We hope yours has fewer regrets than most. If we helped — even a little — drop us a line. We collect happy endings.
