King of wishful thinking

There is no way of knowing where the producer price index is heading in the future, but if we project an increase of 12% in 2022, that home would likely cost just over $1.2M to construct in 2023.

Let's come at this from a different direction. If your budget were fixed at $900k, let's see how much house we can likely get using those same projections.

From this modelling, a $900k budget could get you approximately 370m2 in 2019, but that same budget will only buy you 275m2 when constructing in 2023.

Are you willing to create a smaller home to reduce the potential cost of your home?

In Home Build Mentoring, we often speak of adopting a growth project mindset. This mindset enables us to change the course of your project as required to meet realistic expectations for the budget and project brief. Changes to the direction of your project needn't be seen as a devastating compromise but rather a directive for a successful project outcome.

Wishful thinking won't cut it here, but strategic planning for your project certainly will, and I'd love to help you establish that.
