Ready to build a new home? Maybe you’ve made the decision that it’s time to take the leap into homeownership and that building a new home is the best way forward for you. It’s an exciting moment in life, but it can also be overwhelming and stressful. As with any major purchase in life, there is a lot to consider when you’re about to embark on building a home. It’s normal to want to gather all the information you can, ask questions and get yourself prepared. As a starting point, we’ve put together some things you need to know before building a new home. 

Start with your budget

There are so many decisions to make when it comes to building a new home and details you need to consider. But before you even think about starting the construction process, choosing tile colours or anything else, you need to consider your budget.  

Building a new home can be expensive, so it’s important to have a realistic budget in mind before you begin. You should factor in the cost of the land, the construction materials, the labour, and any unexpected expenses that may arise. It’s also a good idea to add a cushion to your budget for any upgrades or changes you may want to make during the construction process.

Location, location, location

You’ve already chosen the best place in the world to build your new home, because you’ve decided to build in the Pilbara. But the location within individual towns is also very important. You should consider factors like proximity to schools, shopping, and work, as well as the safety and quality of the suburb or town. 

Find the perfect builder to build your new home

Choosing the right builder is critical to the success of your project. You need to find someone who is able to deliver what is expected, communicates well, and who is on the same page as you for your vision. We highly recommend that you research potential builders, read reviews, and ask for references. It’s important to find a builder who has experience with the type of home you want to build and who has a good reputation in the industry.

Design the home of your dreams

Whether you’ve scoped out display homes, been scrolling Pinterest for years or flying by the seam of your pants, the design process is often personal and lengthy. The design of your new home should be carefully planned out. You should consider your family’s needs and lifestyle when deciding on the layout and features of your home.

Our homes are designed to incorporate outstanding living spaces with a natural sustainability and environmental bias.

Stay realistic on timelines

Building a new home is a time-consuming process, and it’s important to have a realistic timeline in mind. You should consider factors like the weather, the availability of materials, and any delays that may arise during construction. It’s also a good idea to have a contingency plan in place in case there are any unforeseen setbacks. Working with a builder you trust, like Build Pilbara, means you will be updated on realistic timelines for the construction process.
