Embarking on the journey of building your custom-designed home in Torquay, Geelong, The Bellarine, or nearby areas is an exciting endeavour, but budgeting can be a complex puzzle. At Sherriff, we understand the nuances that influence costs, and here's a guide to help you navigate the financial landscape.
Home Size Matters:
Larger homes mean more labour and materials, impacting costs. Tailoring size to your needs is key to a balanced budget.
Location Impact:
Your home's location influences costs; site preparation, excavation, and utility access vary based on where you build.
Material Choices:
Smart material selection is crucial. Minimise steel usage, as it can quickly escalate costs. Thoughtful choices ensure quality within budget constraints.
Interiors Insight:
Interior selections wield significant cost influence. Pay attention to details like tile shape, and weigh options like natural stone vs. engineered stone or solid timber vs. engineered timber.
Labour Landscape:
Sub-trades have varying labour costs. Our trusted relationships ensure high standards, quality workmanship, and attention to detail, maintaining control over labour expenses.
