The essential guide to building the home of your dreams

Building a new home is an exciting experience. But it can be mega-stressful when things don’t go to plan!

This free e-guide is the distillation of our decades of experience building thousands of houses for Australian families. It’s comprehensive. It’s easy-to-read and jargon-free. You can read it on your computer, laptop or iPad. You can even print it out.

And it leads you through each key stage of the building process — from choosing the right block of land right up to the day you move in — empowering you to take control of the building process from the outset.

Here’s just a few of the things you’ll learn about:

• Land selection. Will you love that block for years to come? Or is it full of hidden problems that will add thousands to the cost of your home?
• Builders. The key clues to avoiding the “cowboys” that will give you nothing but grief.
• Contracts. Badly written contracts can have terrible legal consequences. Learn the tricks to understand your rights and responsibilities under the building contract.
• Design. The important home design decisions that will maximise your enjoyment — and long-term resale value!
• Inclusions and add-ons. Understanding exactly what is included in the building price upfront can save you thousands later.
• Kitchens. It’s the hub of your home, but if you don’t plan it right, life will be a nightmare! 
• Energy efficiency.  An energy efficient home is not only more enjoyable to live in  — it can save hundreds off your annual energy bill!
