The essential new home builders checklist.
There is so much to think about when building a new home that it can get very confusing. Use this checklist to check off important items to ensure the building process is a smooth one.
What can you afford?
Have you calculated your total budget, including legal fees, the cost of the land, land evaluation legal fees, rates and taxes, stamp duty, site works, landscaping and moving expenses?
Have you considered whether you qualify for finance? Find out if a bank, building society, mortgage broker or an independent financial adviser is the best option for you.
Are you eligible for any financial assistance from the government to build your new home, such as the $7000 first homeowner's grant or no-stamp-duty option for the fisrt homebuyers purchasing a home under $500,000?
Have you shoped around to find the financial package that best suits your needs?
Choosing the land
Does the area you have chosen to build in meet the needs of your family? find out about schools, transport, shops, doctors etc.
check with the local authority to see if there are any future subdivisions, road changes or any other building conditions that apply.
Have you consulted with the local council to find out whether the rates are affordable?
Are you informed about the availability of gas, water, sewerage and electricity?
Getting ready to build
Develop a simple filing system to keep track of the building process.
visist a few display homes, kit homes and custom-designed homes to gauge the different options and to clarify special offers.
Are you happy with the type and dimensions of the materials used, such as the thickness of the wall slabs, type of brick to the inside walls, roof framing, roof tiles, wall plaster or finish?
If buying a display home, have you checked the model you are purchasing includes all the features you expect? remember to check the contract and specifications.
Take a look at other examples of the builder's work and ask previous clients if they were happy with the service and the quality of their new home.
Checking you plans
Check all the plans and specifications thoroughly - make sure you fully understand the plans and all the symbols used.
if plans are drawn up in advance of building contract, check with your local authority that they will be approved without major amendments.
Have any changes or any extras that may have been offered or agreed to by the builder been included on the plans or in the specifications?
What deposit have you been asked to pay? the maximum deposit is 6.5 per cent of the contract sum if the value of the home building contract is between $6000 and $200,000.
Once construction starts
Have you been given the name and phone number of the contact person in the builder's office?
have you organised to confirm all important agreements or comments in writing throughout the entire building period?
Have you arranged to check the work on-site regularly yourself?
Ensure you have received a claim from the builder for the progress payment?
Have a diary to record all the day-to-day happenings, including discussions with your builder.
has you builder advised you if the home has reched "practical completion"? check every aspect to ensure you are satisfied and the home is habitable. you can then hand over the final payment.
