A number of factors influence the cost of building and purchasing a home, including available land, knock-down and rebuild projects, or starting from scratch. Further to that, neighbourhood choice can heavily influence the final cost of your home. We recommend speaking with our team about great communities where you can build a new home without breaking the bank.
A number of factors that will influence your home buying decision will be the availability of land, your neighbourhood of choice, whether it requires additional land preparation or a knockdown prior to building, and renovations that could be required if you buy an existing house. Once you’ve determined where you want to live, your budget, and timeline, consult with real estate agents and builders to determine which path is best for your needs.
We recommend seeking firsthand recommendations from trusted friends, family, and colleagues before selecting a home building team; confirming your budget and timeline; and selecting one or more communities in which to build. The latter choice can significantly influence the building process and price, so knowing where you might like to live is key.
Among the top questions to ask a new building team before signing a contract are their expected project timeline, capacity for new projects, contract inclusions and exclusions, and insurance and other protective measures that will protect the builder, their workmanship, contractors, and your home.
Some of the factors that will influence your home building timeline are: the availability of a block or piece of land in your ideal neighbourhood; the contract and preparation period that involves planning, council approval, and material selection; the construction stage; and final installation, inspection, and handover times.
