Every Australian dreams of one day building their own home, however for many, it can become overwhelming to decifer when the time is right. The team at Hateley Construct have built countless fully personalised builds and have a few words of wisdom to share to help you determine if now is the perfect time for you to build.

Finances

An obvious factor to determine if the time is right to build your dream home are your available finances. Whether it’s savings in the bank or utilising existing equity, it’s recommended to speak to a financial advisor to discuss what options are best suited for you.

A Clear Vision

While you don’t need to have a comprehensive floor plan, inspiration board, or even a particular style locked in, it is a good idea to have a list of non-negotiables for your dream home. Pairing that with some consideration of how you will grow with the home over the years to come will also put you in a better position to make well thought out decisions that will see you home remain functional and relevant to you and your evolving lifestyle for the long term.

A Strong Relationship With Your Builder
