Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.

We will only send marketing communications where you have provided consent or would reasonably expect to receive such communications.
You may request at any time that we do not use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes, and we will comply with your request.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by selecting “unsubscribe” in our emails or by contacting us directly. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect service-related communications regarding your project.
- Client Portal

By using the Client Portal, you acknowledge that:
- your personal information and project documents may be stored or processed within that platform

We may take photographs and videos during construction for documentation, compliance and project management purposes.
At handover, we may request written consent to use photographs or videos of you and your completed home for marketing, website, social media, publications,
brochures or promotional purposes.
Where individuals are identifiable, written consent will be obtained prior to publication.
Images that do not identify individuals may be used for marketing purposes.
Consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us.
