Why Build A New Home
Discover the Benefits of Custom Design, Energy Efficiency, and a Fresh Start in Your Dream Home
Whether to buy an established home or build a new one is an interest question. So why build a new home?. Embrace the allure of the new and the pristine with a home that’s exclusively yours. While the charm of established properties captivates many, we invite you to discover why a bespoke, newly built home should be your priority.
New home design has come a long way in recent years, and we think the pros outweigh the cons, making it a smarter option than buying established. Let’s check out the main advantages of building a new home.

Get exactly what you want
When you build a new home, you get to pick everything – from the floorplan right down to the minor details like fixtures and fittings. You don’t have to settle for a kitchen that’s too small, a master bedroom with no ensuite or a home with nowhere to entertain.
Established homes are set in stone – unless you want to tackle the headache of renovating. When you opt for a new build home, you can build every space you need to achieve your ideal lifestyle. Depending on your house size, you can also futureproof your abode by adding spare rooms including bedrooms, an office, a theatre room or whatever else you need.
Everything is brand new
There’s no need to worry about what’s behind the walls or underneath the carpet – new build homes – when built by a quality home builder – don’t typically have any nasty surprises lurking in the shadows. Opting for a new home design will result in less stress down the line as newer fixtures, fittings, and appliances are less like to cause you headaches. In an established home, you never fully know what the old owners have fixed, or more often haven’t!
Compared to an established home, new homes typically need much less maintenance. If you don’t want to spend your first six months painting, polishing, scrubbing and fixing features within your home, then a new home might be the better option for you.


Modern floorplans
Home design has come a long way, even in just the last ten years. Open plan living, which combines the kitchen, dining room and living area in one, is the norm, and for a good reason. However, many established homes have these spaces segmented, so there’s no clear flow in the floorplan.
Similarly, suppose you’re a first home buyer. In that case, your new house may be set up differently to cater for your growing family vs. a downsizer who might opt for a single storey home with less space. If you live in Melbourne, you might opt for a fireplace compared to Brisbane, where you’ll seek out an alfresco area. These subtle house design nuances are essential to consider when building a new home – and weren’t necessarily top of mind in the past.

Energy-efficient designs
New home designs are generally more energy-efficient than established homes, thanks to modern materials, practices, and systems.
If you’re worried about high power bills in your next home, the newer the home, the less you should potentially pay to your provider. Cold, draughty homes with thin glass windows and poor insulation are a thing of the past and a concern if you’re buying established.
