Who it suits

Summit Signature is for homeowners who want one trusted point of continuity from early planning through to handover.

You remain informed and involved in the important decisions, while Summit helps coordinate the wider project and represent your interests on the ground.

It works best when Summit is engaged before the renovation begins, so we can help shape the brief, support the selection of your project team and set a clear plan from the outset.

What's included, across all five stages

Every engagement starts with a Project Diagnostic. Signature then carries the same representation through each stage that follows, so your priorities stay central as the project moves between professionals.

  1. Project Diagnostic

    Gain clarity on your budget framework, timing and key risks, with a recommended pathway before making larger commitments.

    The starting point for every Summit engagement. A fixed-fee review, with its fee agreed before any work begins.

  2. Planning

    A clear brief, a realistic budget framework and the right professional team in place.

    Summit helps you identify, evaluate and appoint the architects, designers, builders and specialist consultants suited to your project. You appoint each professional directly.

    You receive your planning documents, updated at each milestone.

  3. Pre-construction

    Approach construction with key design decisions resolved, approvals tracked and a clear view of what's ahead.

  4. Construction

    Stay informed about progress, emerging issues and important decisions, with someone representing your interests in Sydney.

    Site visits, written Owner Reports, photo and video walk-throughs, and calls. Summit tracks expenditure against the agreed budget and coordinates the review of invoices and variations.

  5. Handover

    Navigate the final stages, documentation and defects follow-up with support through to completion.

    Handover is included in Summit Signature.

What's not included

Summit does not design, certify, run tenders or administer building contracts, and is not appointed as superintendent or contract administrator.

Those roles stay with the appropriately appointed professionals. You appoint and contract with each party directly, and material decisions remain yours unless authority is delegated in writing.

You also pay your builder, consultants and suppliers directly. Summit's fees are agreed separately and paid by you alone.

How the fixed fee works

A fixed planning fee, then a monthly construction fee. Handover is included.

Summit charges fixed fees for a defined scope of representation, not hourly rates or a percentage of construction cost.

Your fees are set out in a Proposal & Engagement Scope for your project, after the Project Diagnostic. Summit receives no referral fees or commissions from builders, consultants or suppliers.

Questions about Summit Signature

When should I engage Summit?

Ideally before the renovation begins, so Summit can help shape the brief, support the selection of your project team and set a clear plan from the outset (Summit Signature or Summit Blueprint). If your design, approvals and builder are already in place, Summit Keystone provides representation through construction and handover.

Who makes the decisions?

You do. Summit helps you stay in control without having to manage every detail yourself.

Important decisions come to you with clear options, their implications and our perspective, so you can make informed choices from wherever you are.

Summit doesn't commit you to anything without your approval or outside the authority you've agreed with us.

How is Summit Signature priced?

A fixed planning fee, then a monthly construction fee, with handover included. Both are set out in a Proposal & Engagement Scope for your project before you commit.
