Aloha, New Friend!

Aloha, new friend. I hope you're having an absolutely amazing day. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm on taking that next step of your property journey with us and whatever support that it is that you might like on that. I'm gonna offer you the availability to be able to book below on my calendar so we can work out a time that works best for both of us on going through and supporting you on whatever it is that you need support with.
I would just rather be able to do that than us trying to play phone tag and not be able to obviously coordinate that. So if you want to book in a time for support from whatever it is that you would love support on or if you want to text me really quickly something that I'd be able to apply on. I'm genuinely really quick to be able to reply on text messages or send me an email. However, if you'd like to delegate some time for us to be able to more thoroughly support you on that journey. Feel free to book in a time that works best for both of us on my calendar below.

Can You Share About The Vision Of Luxe Living

Yes, I would love to because it's a passion project that has come to life of mine is essentially my life's work coming together. Because both my life's work and also generations of knowledge because they come from generations of builders, architects and manufacturers on both my mom and my dad side, and Luxe living was the creation from customer demand. We also run Better House Brokers and First Home Buyers Group. And we had a couple of clients actually but one major client that wanted to build a granny flat solution. And they came to us just like we provide a number of other build solutions, and they said we want to build a granny flat as well. And so we said yes, we would love to help with that. And so we compared the market of all the available solutions that were available, and they weren't really happy with any of those available built solutions, both in terms of quality, the speed and the value of those products and the liveability the look of some of those competing products. And also, a lot of the current products that were out there weren't actually compliant to board regulation. So that meant that they were putting them under stored regulation. So they said to us, well, you know, what else can we do? And so we decided to develop something custom to the market based on frameworks that are already out there. The idea of prefabricated homes is nothing new. We've just customized products to meet that demand for both granny flat solutions instead of anything else out there with higher quality products that obviously meet build regulation. So on top of that, a large opportunity that I saw in that scene was because they don't need to actually have skilled trades that put together these options. A big passion of mine has been helping young men and both helping young men and ignite families. So we have also several not for profits that are called Young kings. Which is in the process of launching which is a young men's empowerment program. And this is a program which allows them to become the best version of themselves while contributing to society, growing communities and joining up to a brotherhood. We then incorporate things in there to help them on that growth journey. They start with going under a government supported program. So they go through like a TAFE program, which includes a combination of doing a martial art and also a trade skill for a year before they come on board with us and we partner, we have a number of partnerships to bring them on. This enables us to essentially grow a unskilled market into a skilled market and while growing communities and support all of that together. So that's a little bit about the vision and my life's work coming together.

Can You Tell Us About The Different Products That You Sell

Oh yes, I would love to. So, Lux Living has also developed a framework where essentially we can build really anything under the sun. And it's something that took us a lot more time to be able to create the infrastructure. But long term, it meant that we could build anything other than just granny flat solutions. So we have, by default, a one and two bedroom and we're working on an very shortly it may even be by the time this video is released, have a three bedroom we're also able to because of the customizable steel frames and we customize all of our products by default as well because Council by Council, the regulations change so we need to actually do that for each client to comply to build regulation. So yeah, we have currently a one bedroom, two bedroom and we're working on having our three bedroom but if they want something custom to that we're able to put that together for them. And yet that enables us to also use that framework to build anything under the sun that they want and deliver on our customers needs.

Whats The Luxe Living Process?

Yeah, awesome. Glad you asked that question. So we've developed a process that enables us to
work with our clients really effectively. And we've designed that as well from the customers need to
have security about what they're actually going to get on this, particularly on the early stages of us
providing a lot of these products so particularly on taking advantage of government grant options,
our process is that we do a quick discovery call with them to find out exactly what it is they want.
We then offer them either and they're at really tight timeframes if they wanted to do something
custom, but we can re navigate that on a customer by customer basis. We then either take a $550
deposit or a 990 if it's something that we already have, it's a $550 deposit. If it's something that we
needed to customize, it's a 990. And they if they wanted something customized, they give us the
plans of what it is they want and we draw that the that fee goes towards the drawing of the of the
CAD plans. It goes towards the renovations and the actual mapping of where they want to put the
granny flat on their block. That then we then help them to give that information to be able to submit
to council and that's essentially as far as they need to go. If they're attending to apply for the
government grant. Otherwise, the next step of that is to for us to be able to draw the actual renders
of exactly what it is they're gonna get. They then confirm the materials inside of that so they get sent
out or they see actual physical materials so they know exactly what it is that they're going to get. All
of this then goes into the contracts. So unlike a lot of other providers that are out there, we have set
contracts that hold both us and the client to the standard of quality that's going to be delivered. So
all those components didn't go into that if the client wants us to project manage this project. That's
when we start to find the exact trades that are going to be able to put that together in the local area.
And it's at this point where we're able to give a more accurate estimate of how much that's actually
going to put together in terms of the foundation's the assembly of that product connection to power
and water and sewage. It's at this next step once they've actually signed those contracts, that the
deposit 30% deposit is payable. And they've got two options here. One, they can open up a one part
contract, and under this one part contract, they're paying that amount to an escrow account. So it's
held in an escrow account, they pay an extra 7% for that because we actually obviously have to hold
all those costs while we're manufacturing the goods. So they either pay an additional 7% for that to
be held in escrow and they pay that to the escrow or they pay it to a licensed real estate agency. And
they say the 7% by doing that. The next step is for those goods to actually get manufactured. There's
then once they're actually verified that those goods are manufactured, and the client has done a
video to be able to see all those goods that have been manufactured and line them up with the
contracts. There's been another 30% And then depending on if the client is building it themselves, or
if they're having a project managed that there's a they doing it themselves then when the when the
products are shipped and sent to their site, and they verified it there themselves. There's a 40% or if
we are project managing it then is 20% payable when it arrives at site and 20% on project
completion. So I hope that answers that question.

Can You Tell Us About What Materials You Use?

Yes. So the materials that we use are we use steel frames. And we have the options as well on the
engineering that we have for those to be upgraded to hurricane grade three. So really strong
engineering of those of base materials and obviously the steel frames, the exteriors, they've got a
range of options and it's very customizable as well, but by default they have a metal outer which has
polyurethane inside of that. So it also helps on the insulation. There's also a double layer of metal
and polyurethane, which acts as cooling panels. So it's hot in the winter and cool in the summer. And
then we've got a number of different options on both the decking which is a composite wood
material. And in terms of internally, yeah, they've got a number of different options for both the
flooring, the bathroom, and those come from wood. flooring to tiles to high quality linin. And then
they also have a number of options to choose from in terms of if they want additional appliances by
default. Our options come as you would expect to walk into a rental so they don't have the furniture
in there but we can help with and have access to a number of different furniture options. But by
default, they come as you'd expect to be able to walk into a rental. So with the appliances as you'd
expect to walk into a rental

This Sounds To Good To Be True, What’s The Catch?

Well, thank you so much for asking that question, Chris. And I'm sure probably a lot of other people
are thinking, that same question there. We have developed a variety of different things that really
make it possible for us to be able to put these together. And one of the main things when our clients
had reached out to us and wanted us to be able to put together a solution that we were considering
is making sure that we don't sacrifice on quality, both in terms of the materials and how it's actually
put together. So all of both our materials and the end structure product is completely compliant and
above board regulation. We actually also have the option for them to upgrade their frame structures
up to hurricane grade three level, one of the only providers out there in Australia, that is even able
to offer that and both cost effectively as well. How we put together our stuff. So cost effectively is by
using prefabricated steel frames and these steel frames are designed and engineered here in
Australia to Australian standards and above that that regulation. And then we manufacture them in
Korea and China where they have been doing the style of manufacturing for a very long time. Not
sure of the exact years but sort of, I think as far back as 50 years now. So, you know, this is not new
technology that it's putting together. We however have because of our care, and how much that we
love to be able to help our clients on that journey. We customize things where a lot of other
providers don't. So both in terms of those materials and the materials that we use, again, are all
compliant, to both build regulation and council permits and we customize everything to make sure
and then we also give our clients the choices on those things to their long lasting products. In terms
of our exterior of those options. It's a metal clouded polyurethane product which is both fireproof
and enables it to last a long time while still looking really good. So it has finishes on there that have
the appearance of woods, brick and a number of different options that they can put on there. So it
still looks really nice and it's really weather resistant. And then in terms of our internal stuff you've
got a number of different options, including like wood and tile is the most expensive option for them
to be able to go with internally, mostly in terms of the time that it takes skilled trades to be able to
put that down. So it's a less recommended option and more so in terms of how long that's actually
going to take to set up an assemble that, but we offer that as an option. That's obviously up to them
that's more so in terms of the cost to set that up is going to be more costly for them, how we
manage to also keep down the cost of assembly because the product price of our options are the
designing, engineering and manufacturing and then their options sent to their site if they'd like help
on project managing that. We do that for 3300 For our two bedroom option. We then have the
option ongoingly to be able to assemble this with Young Kings but which is a young men's
employment and empowerment opportunity. They're still overseen by licensed builders and trades.
However, a vast majority of this is able to be put together by unskilled labor. So that also means that
our cost savings are very significant in that area as well and we're able to put that together in a lot
shorter of a timeframe than most other providers that I've seen out there on the market.
