Mackay Builder's Advice on 'Site Costs'

Mackay display home visitors hope to match their dream home with the awesome new block of land they just bought at an excellent deal. But, too often, they soon find out that the savings they made on buying a block of land are far outweighed by the site costs quoted by their builder. Adam, at Esprit Constructions, is a specialist in land because he works with every block to make sure it meets all the requirements and regulations. That’s why he’s the expert people go to for advice. Over the next few blogs, we’ll look at some of the factors that can introduce hidden costs to your project when you build a house in Mackay.

Every dollar counts as we look at a single and most significant purchase of our lives. This is why we cannot blame customers for buying blocks that have been discounted, rebated or sold under market value because as buyers, we are price-sensitive. But not every block is the same – and there's not much awareness in the market that tells buyers what to look for when buying property. Mostly, it's too late by the time they meet a builder. A lot of things gets compromised since they already own the block.

Here are our basic tips:

  1. Get Professional Advice - If you're a first time a buyer, everything is new to you, so it's worth looking for professional assistance. It is actually FREE.

  2. Do Your Research - Prepare to ask questions and take advantage of your Mackay builder’s expertise.

  3. Location is Key - Consider transport options, work proximity, schools, entertainment and shops. They're going to make a major difference in living in your new home.
