​Every year, more than 200 000 homes are built in Australia, so if you’re seeking your new dream home, you’re not alone.

With so many flashy home designs and possibilities available, new home buyers can become overwhelmed and under informed about choosing the right home designs for their needs. Spending extra time to consider the right factors will ensure you don’t have second thoughts once the house is done.

Although building a home allows you to design a space that perfectly suits your needs, it’s a significant investment where costs add up quickly. The cost of building a house varies significantly on your real estate, building materials and design choices. The Australian average cost to build is approximately $1270.80 per square metre. And this is just the starting point and can even reach $5000 per square metre, depending on the type of dwelling and building and architectural process. Considering the average Australian earns $1225 per week, you can see why this isn’t an investment that most people leap into.
