Focus on your floor plan so that you have all the essentials for your dream home living space.

What is important to one family’s living space is not so important to another family so we encourage you to spend plenty of time considering what aspects of a new home are important for your family. The floor plan and layout is a great place to start. We have a thorough questionnaire that can assist at this planning stage to ensure we have a good understanding of what works well for you now and what you may want to avoid from your previous homes.

Choose a builder you know you can rely on.

Having a builder who can give you a guarantee on their workmanship is quite important. You will want to know that their quality and satisfaction is guaranteed or at least proven to be of a high standard so that the risk is far lower for you.
You may also want to know how long they have been in the industry for – if they’re reputable and what types of homes they’ve built in the past. (Photos of examples are always good!) Ask your builder for testimonials from previous clients, this is a great way to find out how well others have found the building process and can also tell you about the quality and standard of the builders work.

Ensure clear communication with your builder.

A building contract should be thorough with all details of your new home so you can see what the kitchen layout will look like and what the aluminium windows are in each room.

Set up an on-site inspection of your land before the building begins.

In order to avoid future problems, or to see what’s a problem now, get a land inspection before you start the building. It’s much easier to change a problem at the start than halfway through the job.
