WHAT’S NEXT…?
Designing your dream van…
As soon as you have your build dates locked down – we can get straight to work designing & specifying your van in detail.
This process usual takes a little bit of back and forth between us to ensure everything is exactly as you want it to be.
As we work through every element of your build, we will refine the content as we work towards creating your Van Build Proposal.
This comprehensive document will include details on every aspect of your build, fully outlined & costed.
It will also contain layout drawings & sketches, a 3D render of how your finished van will look, a mood board of your chosen finishes and samples of your chosen materials – as well as the important legal paperwork including our Terms & Conditions and your final Van Build Contract…
Once you’re happy with the content of your Van Build Proposal & Contract, you can sign it off & start to get excited about your upcoming van build!
We aim to have this step of the process completed at least 30 days prior to your van build commencing…
The Van Build…
We’ll stay in touch in the lead up to your van build getting started, making sure your base vehicle is ready to go and making arrangements for you to drop the vehicle off at our workshop.
You’ll normally pay 50% of your van build cost 4 weeks before bringing us the van. This is so we can begin the process of ordering the first phase of materials for your build.
When the day arrives, you’ll bring your base vehicle to our workshop & leave it with us for the magic to happen!
Then the rest is down to us…
Throughout your project, we’ll be in touch regularly with plenty of updates and pictures of your build progressing.
Pretty soon you’ll be cruising along the Slow Road!!
