Building with confidence has never been more topical than in the current building climate.
With all the uncertainty currently in the home builder market, it’s never been more important to choose the right company to make your dream house become a reality. At North Homes, you can build with confidence, considering the quality of partnerships we have established, such as working with Landen as our preferred developer for our land and home packages.
We want you to have a home that suits your lifestyle and budget, which is why North Homes have created a number of home and land packages to suit each of our estates. With so many options available, you will be able to find the perfect fit for your family and enjoy the facilities both within and in the surrounding areas of your selected estate.
Experience is a key factor when selecting a builder to work with. We strongly recommend partnering with a builder who has established a respected reputation in the industry. At North Homes, we have over 100 years of combined expertise within our team, which provides our customers with the confidence to let us guide them across all aspects of their build journey, including design, construction and finance.
Good communication and good working relationships makes for a great experience
Great customer service is essential to ensuring you have a positive experience from the time you start reviewing floorplans and house types to building and moving into your home. Builders have a responsibility to keep an open dialog to guarantee your concerns are heard and managed.
Asking the right questions (there’s never too many) and being satisfied with the answers will help you to understand the journey to from picking your home to moving in day. Some common questions that you might ask a potential builder include:
• Are you a registered builder and what types of insurance do you have?
• What contracts do you use?
• Who will I be working with during the selection process and then during the build?
• Are your home designs fixed or can you make slight variations?
• When is the cut-off to make any changes?
• Will I receive construction updates during the build?
• How will you ensure that quality is maintained during the build?
• What guarantees or warranties do you offer during construction and after completion?
Cost transparency – what are some of the key (and potentially hidden) costs that owners need to be aware of?
The purchase, design and build of your new home is a multilayered process and can be confusing. Those beautiful features that you thought were included but turns out are optional extras to be added to a design can add up and cause some surprise.
At North Homes we aim to ensure all costs are presented upfront to new clients – whether they are costs that first time owners may not be aware of, such as site costs, driveways, landscaping, BASIX approval and flooring, or even other costs that owners might things are standard, like internal painting, external renders or even a letter box.
By creating architecturally designed homes with transparent and inclusive pricing, our homes are thoughtfully considered, with a range of floorplans and facades to include in your design. When you visit the Design Studio, you can select your own colour schemes, fittings and fixtures, and upgrade options for your home. North Homes’ specialised software program allows you to customise your design and can create a 3D model of what your home will look.
North Homes prides itself in having luxurious, architecturally designed features that buyers expect in their home as standard, that other builders often don’t include. We offer a “Full Turnkey” product – which means that when we hand the house over to you, there are no additional costs and all you need to do is move in.
From signing the contract to getting the key to your new home takes time
Each home is a bespoke product and so timeframes are project dependent. However, working with a builder like North Homes, means we have control of the land and can keep you informed of all aspects of your build journey. We help you achieve excellent build times by focusing on multiple lots in our own developments, allowing for efficiency and an edge over other traditional builders.
One of the advantages of working with Landen, is that they look at the land registration and settlement dates before the construction program is developed, in conjunction with our North Homes team, to set out a program that will help achieve the earliest posts start on site date.
