Most CoMMonly Asked Questions

Who are Harkaway Homes?
First established in 1986, Harkaway Homes is a fully owned Australian company and has become the industry leader and
benchmark in Australian Reproduction Housing.

Why build a Harkaway?
Put simply, Harkaway Homes reproduce the very best heritage profiled verandahed housing in the land.

Explain Designs.
Harkaway Homes have on offer eight ranges of the absolute best old worlde roofline designs of the day. Many are
complex but are easily tamed by today’s “State of the Art” Wallframe and Truss technology.

How do Harkaway Homes achieve the olde worlde look?
Sufficient Height in the critical factor when reproducing Olde Worlde homes. Our exclusive high wall system gives
greater outer wall height without the impracticalities of overly high ceilings. For example, common to our products would
be a 12’ external wall height with a 10’ ceiling ... producing the best of both worlds.

Do verandahs darken the home?
One of the many attributes of the Early Australian Home and probably the most important is the verandah. Harkaway
Homes exclusive high wall system allows verandahs to position comfortably to the home, creating correct falls and
profiles, giving instant character whilst not depriving the home of most important natural light.

Are floorplans flexible?
All floorplans are 100% flexible at no extra cost. We actively encourage our clients to personalise floorplans to suit their
individual requirements.

Explain Suppliers.
Accompanying our “tailored to your requirements” design, we offer quality construction packages to the lock-up stage.
These packages include many choices of products including types of windows, leadlights etc.

How does it all work?
FLOORS: Harkaway Homes products commence from the floor level up. Because the floor itself is an unknown quantity,
it is not included in the price. For example, the floor might be a concrete slab, a timber floor of a specially designed floor.
However, Harkaway Homes offer full assistance with the design and drafting of your floor and further assistance as to
estimated costs and location of reliable tradespeople for installation.
THE HOUSEFRAME: After the floor is completed your fully prefabricated houseframe arrives on site ready to commence
frame erection.
THE CLADDINGS: Harkaway Homes supplies the external claddings, roofing etc. on a coordinated delivery basis
continuing a complete overview of the project.

What is the Locked up stage?
The locked up stage entails as it suggests, a fully locked up house in a pre-plaster, pre-electric, pre-plumbing situation.
Inside the house are the internal stud walls.

What do you include in your Lock-Up construction packages?
Harkaway Homes supply as normal, all of the things a builder would generally tell you “you can’t do that, it will cost you
a fortune”. The nice things like high ceilings, leadlights, French doors, complex rooflines and much more.

Do Harkaway Homes packages include drafting?
Yes, all drawings including clear and understandable floorplans, elevations, sectional drawings, subfloor floor design,
block plans, computations and Energy Reports are included.
