Many people who embark on a homebuilding journey in Perth are often surprised to discover the level of personal involvement required to complete the build. In the standard construction process, there are actually a number of elements you need to organise yourself, from landscaping, to site works (if you’re demolishing an existing home), floor coverings and more.
Arranging for contractors to complete these tasks can be extremely time consuming. When you break it down, there’s a lot to consider, from calling around obtaining quotes from different companies, to arranging to meet them onsite, and coordinating trades so it all unfolds seamlessly.
Finding the time and motivation to tick these tasks off when you move in can be near impossible. It’s no surprise that many homebuyers find themselves delaying the inevitable, which leads to spending your first days, months (and even years) living in a new home without light fittings or blinds, newspaper on the windows and a back garden full of sand!
Compounding the problem is knowing it can be harder to obtain finance if you’re completing your home’s finishing touches yourself. Lenders like the certainty of a fully finished residence, which means you will have to jump through more hoops if yours isn’t. Expect to provide them with two quotes for everything in order to have your finance approved. This can be a long and costly process, as these quotes are needed before you can even commence your Selections stage, and well before your home build commences. The lengthy period of time that passes between getting the quote and when you need the work to be done could mean that supplier prices go up.
