Magazine directions date quickly; what survives on a NSW custom build is a documented brief. Below is how BOREC HOMES PTY LTD turns common design language into schedules, tolerances, and consultant interfaces before joinery and façades are procured.
Declared finishes and chain-of-custody
Reclaimed timber, low-VOC coatings, and stone with nominated slabs belong in a finishes schedule with slip ratings, reaction-to-fire notes, and maintenance clauses—not only on mood boards. We align selections to wet-area and external-wall NCC contexts early so substitutions do not land at practical completion.
Open plans versus acoustic separation
Large living pods are drawn with ceiling zones for services and targeted insulation to bedrooms and studies. Party-wall and boundary acoustic assumptions are checked against the furnished layout, not a placeholder plan.
Services allowance beyond gadget lists
Data home runs, WAP locations, CCTV backbone, and gate intercom appear on the electrical PDF with spare conduits to the comms cupboard—not as a late AV variation after the slab is poured. Lighting scenes are noted against switch types so faceplates stay consistent room to room.
Colour as specification
External palettes are nominated with coating systems, gloss levels, and UV stability for Sydney exposure. Internally we tie skirting, architraves, and joinery laminates to defined manufacturer ranges where possible to limit batch variance.
Mixed materials at junctions
Steel, stone, and weatherboard meet on details: movement joints, drip edges, and cavity ventilation are drawn where façades step in section. That matters more than mixing textures for photographs.
Shading, ventilation, and thermal bridges
Deep eaves, screens, and operable glazing are recorded against BASIX and NatHERS inputs. We mark thermal bridges at balcony slabs and steel posts so the energy model matches the built junction.
