Build your dream

There are many aspects to bringing a dream home to life, which makes the building process an exciting, yet daunting time. In this article we talk about common questions and considerations when looking to build your dream home at Botanica.

The package process

When it comes to house and land packages, people often wonder how they start the process of purchasing a house and land package and who to talk to. Understandably, people also want to know what the projected timeframes are around building a home.

How to pick a package?

There are a few questions to consider when looking at package options that suit your family’s needs.

1. Budgets – What do you want to spend?

2. Timings – When do you want to be in your house?

3. Location – What do you want to live near, for example, schools or parks?

4. Aspect – Do you have any preferences with a block of land’s aspect or position?

5. Yard size – What size block do you think you want? 

House and land package benefits

One of the key benefits of choosing a house and land package is the upfront, transparent process, giving you a clear estimate on costs from the very start. This realistic pricing helps with budgeting, which can often feel overwhelming, especially for first home buyers. Opting for a full turnkey package means you’ll have a move-in ready home, with the flexibility to tailor inclusions or exclusions to match your style and budget. You also have the advantage of selecting land that allows your home to be specifically designed for that block, ensuring a seamless fit and natural flow throughout the property.

Options on offer

There are various time frames for completion given that different land releases have varied finish time frames. There are also many options when it comes to builders, and also block sizes. Home options also vary, for example, whether you want a single or double storey.

Discovering what’s on display

There’s nothing quite like the tangible benefits of experiencing a home in person. Visiting a display village allows you to see, feel, and touch the spaces—something that simply can’t be replicated online. It’s also an opportunity to receive expert advice from building consultants and gather inspiration for your own design. Exploring a display village can also shift your mindset about needs verse wants. By seeing how various homes are laid out and cleverly designed to maximise space and enhance block aspects, you may discover new possibilities that resonate with your lifestyle and aspirations.

All for advice

Make the most of your industry experts when it comes to building your dream home. First speak to brokers and banks so you know what your budget is. It isn’t necessarily how much money you can borrow; rather how comfortable you will be with mortgage repayments.  It is then a good idea to take a drive throughout Botanica and its surrounding areas, and ask whether can you see yourself living here.  Book in with Botanica’s sales team and they can guide you through the process, including the land portion of your package, and your chosen builder will help you with a building contract, so enjoy peace of mind knowing that through the entire process you work with specialists in each field.
