If you've decided to build your home and want to go with a custom home to perfectly suit your block, your functional needs and create a great lifestyle right at home there are a number of things you need to consider. Below are just a few of the things that will need to take place to get construction of your custom built vision off the ground, out of the mind and into the realm of reality.
It all starts with your vision
Dream of what you want. This is your custom design and we want you to get what you are dreaming of. We can help guide that vision and will be there when you need to bounce some ideas of a construction expert, but the clearer you are on what you want from the beginning, the quicker that vision will manifest.
What are some of the next steps?
Below we will take a look at some of practical steps that are involved with getting your project underway.
Land
Firstly, you will need somewhere to build your new home. Look for your preferred location and short list some blocks in that locality. This will assist in determining what kind of dream home we can create for you. If you have already found your ideal piece of land — great you can move to the next step! If you are still looking then you might want to consider some things about the home you want built before you look around, as your build requirements might play a key role in helping you decide on a block.
Design
The design options for your home are almost endless. How many bedrooms do you want? What sizes should they be? How many bathrooms? Ensuites? Walk in wardrobes? What materials will you use for your kitchen floors, bench tops and splash back? What will your indoor/outdoor flow look like? Where will you situate children's bedrooms and the master bedroom?
Budget
We can help you to fit your design into your budget. The house style, house size, number of bathrooms and materials are just some of the several aspects of a build that can affect cost. You should consider what you are willing to spend to create the lifestyle at the home you wish for. Knowing your budget from the start is important so you have some idea of the type home you can build.
Construction
The exciting times begin! Now your vision is really starting to take shape. Rest assured, all who work at Essa share our passion and high expectations when it comes to build quality and craftsmanship.
