Building a new home:
5 practical tips you need to know
Building a new home can be an exciting yet stressful experience. It’s one of the biggest investments you’ll make, and naturally, you want to get it right.
To assist you in navigating through some key aspects of the home building process, we’ve provided five top tips and things to consider when beginning your home building journey.
I want to build a house – where do I start?
The first step in your home building journey ideally starts with acquiring land.
Knowing the land dimensions helps builders like Stroud Homes understand the possible width and siting of your new home to comply with local building regulations.
Once this is settled, we can tailor the design and layout to your desires.
How do I choose a section of land?
Selecting the right section of land is deeply personal and varies depending on your future plans, whether it’s your forever home or your first step onto the property ladder.
Stroud Homes offer various house & land packages tailored to different needs and preferences.
Always ensure you ask the land agent the right questions, including about connections, the terrain, and necessary permits.
What is included in the contract price?
Your contract price should transparently cover all agreed-upon aspects of your new home, from standard builder inclusions to any client-specific additions.
This clarity prevents unexpected costs and variations later on, giving you peace of mind about what you’re paying for.
How do I choose the best home design?
Our homes are award winning for a reason. With more than 20 years of experience, our designs have been refined over time to maximise function and style.
Our builders work hard to design and build Australian home buyers’ dream homes.
Clients love our flexibility and ability to modify plans to suit their lifestyle, family needs, section dimensions, budget, or style preferences, if need be.
What other factors should I consider before building a home?
You should consider future changes, such as expansion of the family, as it’s likely you’ll be living in your home for a few more years to come.
Also, think about external elements such as landscaping and outbuildings, which might affect your budget, and proposed developments within your neighbourhood and wider community.
