Cost analogy

Costs ($) - What bumps up the budget?

Obviously, there are certain design elements of homes that will substantially increase the price. This page lists some of the more popular design features in new homes that need to be considered when working out your budget.


Check the items that you wish to consider:
Windows and doors
Timber framed windows and french doors vary in price for different timber, designs, sizes and where they are to be placed in your new home. Commercial section aliminium windows and doors are different in price from standard domestic aliminium windows.
PC items
PC items like ovens, cook tops, spas and tapware have a wide variety in prices and quality.
House design
Designs that require excessive engineering, new individual construction techniques or designs that are labour intensive can make building more expensive.
Variations
Variations on the design after construction has commenced will increase the final cost of your home.
