Building Tips

Upgrading your Home

Outgrown Your Current Home?

Upgrade By Building New 

Looking for more space or tired of your outdated property? Building a new home offers an exciting opportunity to customize every aspect to suit your family's needs. Whether it's your first time building or not, watch your dream home come to life before your eyes.

Benefits of Building New 

  • Personalisation: Choose your desired layout, facade, and add your personal touch through your selection of colours and interiors.
  • Everything is Brand New: Enjoy the luxury of brand-new appliances, fittings, and warranties, while incorporating the latest trends into your home.
  • Energy Efficiency: Building a new home means you will need to adhere to energy efficiency regulations, meaning you can include solar panels and other energy-saving features, which can lead to long-term cost savings on power bills.

Knockdown + Rebuild

  • Budget Considerations: Knockdown + Rebuild (KDRB) offers a clear understanding of costs upfront, eliminating unexpected expenses that often arise during renovations.
  • Layout Freedom: Unlike renovations on an established home, KDRB provides the opportunity to create your dream home layout, without being limited by existing structures.
  • Location Advantage: Stay in your beloved community while upgrading your home to better suit your family's needs.
