What goes wrong most

Headline price excludes site costs
Inclusions are advertised, upgrades are quoted
Estate covenants restrict design

How it actually unfolds

The steps that move the needle. We sit beside you on each one.

1
Understand turnkey vs standard
Turnkey is more inclusions, fewer surprises but higher headline. Standard is the opposite. Get clear on which model is being quoted.
2
Site cost discovery
Hero price often excludes site costs that show up after sign-up. We have seen $20K - $80K swings on the same block.
3
Estate covenants
Driveway material, fence height, façade choices. Covenants add cost and constrain design. Read them before signing.
4
Finance and settlement
Land + build finance is sequenced. Stamp duty, FHOG and progress payments all line up differently to a single contract.
5
Build and handover
Once site costs and covenants are in scope, the build is essentially a project home. Walk it like one.
