TIPS ON HOW TO SELECT YOUR BUILDER

We are fortunate to work with a range of well respected and established local builders, but how do you choose which one to build your new home in Bushland Grove?

HERES OUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE

  • RESEARCH
    • Create a list – Look online for local builders, check their reviews & customer feedback.
    • Find out where their Display homes are and what are their opening hours.
    • Speak to friends, family, colleagues who have recently built a new home about their experiences.
  • GO FOR A WALK
    • Visit the Display homes – Walk through the homes & get a feel for them. Will the layout work for you, or what changes would you make?
    • Check on build quality
    • Have a chat – Speak to the on-site Consultants & ask questions.
    • Gather information – Display homes are packed with information, plans & details. Take a copy to help with your decision.
  • HAVE A COFFEE
    • Once you’ve gathered the information sit down & discuss with your partner/ parents/ friends. Discuss what you need from your new home & what aspects of the home are important to you.
    • Draw up a shortlist – once you’ve compared the plans, pick your top 3 and go back to the builders and speak to them again.
  • ASK QUESTIONS
    • Timeframe – If you are currently renting & need your new home to be completed by a set date, let the builder know. They will be able to tell you if they can meet that deadline.
    • Specifications – ask which items are included in their standard Specifications & what is an upgraded item.
  • GET A QUOTE
    • Once you are comfortable with the Consultant & their product ask for a quote
    • We recommend you don’t ask for more than 3 quotes as it may become overwhelming & confusing.
    • Make sure the quotes are comparable, i.e. your comparing apples with apples.

If you are torn between two builders go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

Now sit back & watch your new home being built!
