GET WHAT YOU WANT
Design a home that suits your lifestyle rather than compromising for something that is ready built. You can get the home you want, built exactly the way you want.
STAY HOME
You get to remain in where you are, around family & friends as well as the surroundings you are already familiar with. You already know where to shop, the best way to get to work and where to get the best coffee.
Savings
Avoid stamp duty costs, real estate agent commission fees and all the other additional costs associated with buying a new property.
SAVE TIME
Avoid having to spend weekend after weekend trying to find the right property, uncertain of whether you will succeeding in finding what best suits.
Less ongoing repairs
A brand-new home means less maintenance with new electrical, plumbing and more, compared to an older existing home.
SCHOOLS
No need for children to change schools.
CERTAINTY
Know from the beginning what you are getting, rather than selling and being left uncertain of where your family will end up.
WEALTH
By replacing your existing home with a brand-new upgraded home, it can potentially increase the value of your land immediately, providing you with more opportunities with your finances.
REDUCED ENERGY BILLS
Along with a requirement to meet a 6-star energy rating there are certain prescriptive BCA requirements, such as sealing and services. With the latest in technology and appliances, brand-new homes are generally more efficient in electricity usage, insulation and water consumption and can therefore reduce your energy costs.
