Home Builders Tip Series Part 1 – Townsville Builders

May.28,2011A fixed price contract to build your home is the place to start.
This means there are no surprises when it comes to the final payments. The only thing that should change the total amount paid are “variations”. This happens when you change something after agreed to the initial design and selections. This is fine – but discuss and confirm with your builder exactly what the additional cost for the variation will be.
To make certain that your home ends up as you imagined – as well as being on budget – I recommend you get a colour consultant to go over and confirm ALL the details for everything that will be in your home. This also means that your builder is able to confidently give you that fixed price contract – because everything is decided and costed in advance.
Once all of your selections are made, all price variations, if there are any, can be priced and signed off on so both owners and builder know exactly where they stand at all times. One of the things I value most is knowing that everyone [including our builder team] knows where we are at all times. This can save a lot of stress and heartache – and it also allows us to get on with the job of building your Townsville home both on time, and with the highest quality we can insert.
Use of a colour consultant gives everyone certainty because everything can be ordered well in advance, there are no delays because a feature colour or benchtop material has not been chosen. It is the reason we can give our Eighty Working Day Construction Guarantee for your home – and we often complete it is less time than predicted. Planning everything well before construction begins means we are not delayed – and can consistently build wonderful new homes exactly on budget.
It does not mean that it has to take stacks of hours to get the planning done – it just means being organized – and that is what we are great at. Because we are organized, we can ensure that your new home fits exactly with what you dreamed of.
Fixed pricing and using a colour consultant are the keys to getting your house built beautifully and on time, even in Townsville.
