Choosing Land
If you're not building on your current block, think about your house design before you choose your land. Make sure your new land suits the house design you want. An important part of choosing land is ensuring you get a soil test complete prior to signing the Contract.
Designing your home
You can gain a lot from doing a little bit of research into the anatomy of a house. Then you'll be better placed to choose your ideal floor plan and style of home.
When you're constructing your floor plan, keep your budget in mind. Also think about how your family will live now and in the future.
Prepare to make a lot of selections and decorating choices. You'll need to know how you want things to look from the foundations to the roof.
Creating a team
Your architect, builder, and other tradespeople are your project team. Choose people that you trust, work well with and can build a positive working relationship with.
