There are so many different home options out there, it can be hard to understand the lingo and know what will be right for you and your future.

Building new – Land
Finding an existing home that suits your needs can be tricky; by building your property with a trusted builder, you’re guaranteeing your dream home will be
a reality. See below where we have gathered plenty of information about the process and what to look for with display villages, builders and home designs.
Building new is an opportunity to create a home that fits your family, not the other way around. At Stockland, we know a whole range of different factors are
the foundations of this perfect home. See below for some great advice to get the most out of your new building journey.

Visiting a display village
Deciding to buy a plot of land and build your very own home is one of the most exciting decisions you will ever make – especially as you can customise it to
your own tastes. That makes display homes a wonderful source of inspiration, as well as a practical way of showing how you can make your dreams a reality.

Choosing your builder
Your builder will be your key partner in the home building process. If you have no idea where to start or you’ve hit a roadblock with design inspiration, the
best way to get the creative process moving again is to visit a Stockland Display Village. You can walk through every home and inspect a number of different
designs by a range of builders in one convenient location. Before contacting a builder, make a list of the things you need in your home and decide which
items you would be willing to compromise on to stay within your budget.

Designing your floorplan
To maximise the use of your space while still minimising costs, it’s important to design your ideal floor plan for your home. Do some research on modern
house floor plans and custom home designs to help you out. Having a well-planned, space-efficient custom home design will ensure you have a
highly functional home, that’s cost efficient to build. Knowing exactly what is going to go where and the space it will take to make it will make life more
comfortable and enjoyable. With a highly organised design there’s no worrying about extra space and costings!

Once you’ve decided to buy your own home, there are so many options to choose from. The 2nd stage of our Home Buyers Guide will help you choose the best option for you.
