Price Guide for 2009

Beach houses, Special designs and Country homes

Over the last couple of years our client base has shifted to more of an independent premium design and customised building service. More often than not the advertised starting price bears little resemblance to final prices and once again this is because of a shift towards customising, premium products and design throughout, along with Govt & Council intervention.

As this change is client driven, we are responding to this with what we hope is a helpful realistic guide, rather than a low starting point that seems to keep going up. Whilst clients still often build our standard homes (particularly Beechwoods and Woodcutters Elbows), in all cases these designs are heavily modified, upgraded, increased in size, developed for a special site and so on. For this reason a more generalised pricing guide seems to be appropriate.

At any time you can call or email us and ask us to fine tune a budget for you by supplying us relevant information, such as home style, land slope and makeup, location of building, special design requirements, etc. Our homes generally fit into the following categories :

All prices are to completion and include premium upgrades such as hardwood flooring, timber flyscreens, full insulation, upgraded pc and kitchen items to a standard befitting the quality timber work throughout.

Remember you can always check with us, because depending on your circumstances, you may get a better level home at a lower level price and vice versa. This is simply a rule of thumb guide to help you to decide if you wish to consider our company's services to build you a new home. Ultimately you will be given a preliminary tender on rough concepts followed by a complete tender with proper drawings and elevations.

These price ranges realistically depict the pictures you see in the magazines, so you don't need to spend the next few months with us getting "little shocks"? Semi-completion is very popular as well and will save you builders' margins and improve your customisation as well.

As previously stated, these prices are affected of course by land slope, access, council conditions, location etc, but the general rule of thumb would be if you have $320,000 - 400,000 plus to spend on a top quality custom home, it is likely that we can help you. If you have more then we can really dazzle you with size, special inclusions, premium products, individual items or combinations of such items.
