Build cost is usually discussed as a single number, but a new home price is really the sum of three things: the house itself, the site works needed to put it on your block, and the inclusions you choose.
The house component covers the design, its size and its structural requirements. A wider single-storey plan and a narrow double-storey plan with the same floor area rarely cost the same to build.
Site works are the part most people underestimate. Slope, soil classification, wind rating, retaining, drainage, service connections and estate design guidelines all influence cost, and none of them are known until the site is properly assessed.
Inclusions are where budgets move fastest. Kitchen and bathroom selections, flooring, tiling heights, glazing, ceiling heights and external finishes each move the number.
Rather than quoting a figure that may not apply to your block, we prefer to look at your site and your requirements, then prepare pricing you can actually rely on.
