Building a new home or renovating an existing one is a major investment—emotionally and financially. Before you break ground, here are five essential things to consider:
1. Define your goals clearly.
Know what you want and why. Are you creating a forever home, adding value, or preparing to sell?
2. Set a realistic budget.
Factor in not just construction, but design, approvals, finishes, and contingencies.
3. Choose the right builder.
Look for someone with proven residential experience, strong communication skills, and a focus on quality.
4. Understand the process.
From approvals to timelines, a good builder will guide you through every stage—and keep things transparent.
5. Prioritise quality.
A cheaper quote might cost you more in the long run. Invest in craftsmanship that will last.
