Considerations for Home Design

banner-bp-considerationsThere are a number of factors to consider before creating the design of your dream home.

Designing a new home is a detailed process that requires extensive knowledge and understanding of current regulations. Given that a home is the biggest investment most people make in their lives, the decisions you make now may have an impact in the future. Your New Home Design Consultant will be able help you through this process, and give you information on what options are available to you.

When choosing a house design, it’s worth taking the time to consider the following:

  • Building design guidelines and covenants set by the land developer
  • Local government regulations
  • Bank / lender inclusions
  • Solar orientation of your home, to minimise the cost of auxiliary heating and cooling
  • Selling your home in the future
  • How you will use your home now and in the future - are you downsizing, or will you need room for a family? Will you live in your home for ten years, or are you planning on using it as an investment property down the track?

 

It’s important to remember that not all builders are the same. A home is a handmade product that involves over 150 people in the design, implementation and construction process. Every builder has a different process and use different tradespeople and materials. It's imperative the builder you choose can demonstrate in writing their process and the materials included in your home.
