When designing a new home for a client, NDIS Property Australia takes into account the participant's needs, functionality for carers, safety for all, and aesthetics. We’ve found that to deliver the best results, the following considerations are key:
Our homes from our builders are turn-key solutions. Once we fully understand the needs of all stakeholders—investors, providers, and participants—we manage all the behind-the-scenes work. This includes coordinating between the investor, builder, land developer, solicitors, lender, and provider to ensure a streamlined process. We facilitate clear communication and regular updates, ensuring everything is in place before construction begins.
As consultants, our role is to project-manage the transaction. During construction, NDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA, will provide the Service Provider with all relevant updates, ensuring smooth planning for the participant's transition.
We offer a complete end-to-end service for investors, builders, providers, support coordinators, and participants to achieve their desired outcome: a perfectly designed forever home.
We collaborate exclusively with leading industry partners to ensure the SDA journey results in a smooth transition into each participant’s dream home.
With our combined expertise across various fields, we ensure that the SDA homes we help participants find are built and designed to the highest quality and fit for purpose.
