So here’s Doug and the team’s TOP SIX things you really need to know before building your dream home in Queensland.
1. What is Your Budget?The dream home you want to build will need to fit into your budget, so it pays to do your research and to look at things realistically. Have you already qualified for a home loan? Or contacted a broker to find out where you stand financially?
You may be worried that you won’t have enough for that home you’ve been dreaming of, however you might be surprised with what you can afford with Aspect Homes current house and land packages and the affordability of buying homes off the plan.
The State Government also offers a First Home Owners Grant which you may be eligible for. In Queensland this grant can be worth up to $15,000 towards the cost of your new build – which can be a welcome cash injection towards owning your own piece of paradise.

2. The Unexpected Costs of Building a New HomeYou’ve probably heard the stories of the unknown costs and unexpected outlays that people can experience when building a new home. To avoid this happening to you, it pays to do your research to find a builder like Aspect Homes Queensland, who have earned a solid reputation and have operated successfully for many years.
Initially, one of the biggest variables when building your own home are site costs. Site costs can range from $10K to $70K, and these will depend largely on the results of your land soil and contour tests. Soil quality and the slope of your property are BIG factors that can chew up a big chunk of your budget depending on the ratings you receive.
All of your costs are presented upfront when building a home with Aspect Homes Queensland. However, no matter who you choose to build your dream home with, make sure to check with your builder that everything you need has been included in your quote. Often, but not always, expensive items like flooring, driveways and landscaping may not be part of a new build quote, so you will need to have that conversation to ensure that you are getting everything you need within the budget that you have allocated.
Furthermore, in Queensland especially, you will also need to find out your properties Bushfire Attack Level and whether or not your property is flood prone. Missing these important points when building in Queensland can turn your dream home into a no-go zone in a flash.
Having discussed some of the unexpected and unknown costs you may encounter before building your new home, there’s a big issue we need to discuss that will affect you long after you have your home-sweet-home keys in your hand…

3. Do You Know Your Neighbours?Where you choose to live, may be one of the biggest factors determining your satisfaction with your new home. People initially fall in love with a home and how it looks and feels, however it’s the neighbourhood harmony that will dictate whether the relationship with your new home will be a happy one.
You will definitely want to know how safe your area is. You can access crime statistics straight from Google to be sure, and it pays to know this information before you invest big bucks in building your dream home in the wrong area.
It’s also very important to note how close your new home is to work, shopping centres, day care centres and schools. Are you near playgrounds, sporting grounds or a swimming pool? Is this convenience even important to you? To know this, you need to ask yourself, what does your future look like? 4. Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?People these days are building their first homes at varying stages of life, and the life stage you are in will dictate a lot of the decisions you will make. Are you a newlywed, an empty nester or an investor?
If you are planning on growing your family, you need to factor in the needs of your future children, like schools, parks and how many bedrooms you will need. If you are heading into your retirement years, you may need to consider whether your area is close to family, the hobbies you like to participate in and medical facilities. If you are an investor, you will want to do your research on who’s renting in the area you plan to build, and what the average rent spend is. This will help you define how big the house needs to be, what entertaining style you offer and how much you spend on finishes.
Who you are and where you see yourself in the future makes a big impact on how you choose your first dream home build – and choosing the right house for your needs is also major part of that process.
5. What Kind of House Will Suit?Initially you could choose an Individually Designed Home, where the plans are made by an architect or builder from scratch. While this option can be more expensive and take a little longer to plan, it can also give you the freedom of greater design choices.
Alternatively, you can choose to build a project home from a selection of Aspect Home’s standard floor plans. Our plans include a large variety of prices, sizes and standards. Buying a home off the plan can save you money and give you a beautiful home, and you can still enjoy the freedom of adding in some extra fittings or fixtures for an extra cost, if your budget allows it.
Another question to ask yourself while you are considering how many rooms you want or where you want your fabulous outdoor kitchen placed, might be whether you want to build your home with consideration to sustainability or in an eco-friendly manner. This frequently asked question will depend on your budget, and how much of that budget you are prepared to use now in order to save on future energy bills and leaving a smaller footprint on the environment.
Ultimately, the style of house you choose will be based on your unique lifestyle and your family.
One way to get a clear picture of your needs in a new build, is to look at your current home and make a list of what works and what doesn’t. Add to that list, a bedroom for each family member and the areas you need to live comfortably for rest and relaxation.
Does anyone in your family work from home or plan to in the future? If so, you might need to add a home office as well. Think of every family member current and future, including your furbabies, and plan around their likely wants and needs.
Once you have covered all of these questions, you will need to plug the answers into your existing budget. You may need to reconsider some items from your wishlist if they don’t fit the budget, and you may also have to postpone some of your bigger ideas. Although no one likes to compromise, in this regard it may be necessary, however, there is one decision that you should never compromise on…
6. Research Your BuilderWhen researching builders, the best place to start is with friends, family and people you know. Word of mouth and direct recommendations are a great way to start your list of builders to compare, as family and friends are most likely to give you the real deal on their home building experiences.
If you don’t know anyone who has recently built, you can find builders through ads, trade directories or those recommended in community Facebook groups. If you live in or are looking to invest in the Gympie region, you can find Aspect Homes Queensland on their facebook page. Wherever you find your builder you must always check that they have their Queensland Building and Construction Commission licence number, and if you are ever unsure in regard to the builder you are choosing, a quick check can be made on the QBCC website to ensure licence compliance. As THE reputable builder in the Gympie area, Aspect Homes Queensland are always proud to display their QBCC licence.
If a builder does come recommended, some great questions to ask are:– Were the building crew easy to get along with?– Was the build completed on time and on budget?– And, were there any nasty surprises?
Aspect Homes Queensland comes highly recommended, and here is what some happy homeowners are saying: “Our house is finished to perfection and we are so thankful we chose Aspect Homes to build our first home.” Michelle “We are so appreciative and so happy, and always highly recommend Aspect Homes Gympie to everyone we know, as the whole process has been easy and enjoyable!” Rebecca
Once you have whittled down your list of local builders, you can then proceed with getting at least 3-5 quotes. Take notice of all of your dealings with prospective builders including their paperwork, as their professional approach could be an indicator of how they work on the jobsite. You will be spending a lot of time with your builder and their team, so aside from price, it’s vitally important that you also feel comfortable with the builder you choose. Doug and the team at Aspect Homes Queensland have a long and proven track record for building first homes, new homes and investment properties in Queensland.
