When buying an established home in Australia there are only a few calculations that are needed such as adding stamp duty to the purchase price and some small fees related with conveyancing and settlement. However, construction a new home is very dissimilar as each maker uses methods to disguise added costs. This guide will aid you in estimating the costs of construction a new house.
Firstly, you need to get the base house price from the builder. No matter if you're using a construction Broker, Architect or task Home maker you should receive a written quote that nominates the base price of the new home. This base price should include the minimum requirements to perfect the primary house structure. This would be the costs for the foundations such as a slab on ground, through to the finals which would be brick paving, cabinets, ceramic tiling and electrical fit out.

Using the base price it is easy to think a square metre rate for construction by taking the base price and dividing it by the broad size of the home. For instance, if the base price is 0,000 and the house size is 300 square metres then the square metre rate is ,000 per square metre. This formula of comparison is poor however, as 'vertical prices' aren't indeed compared. Vertical prices are costs that increase the broad rate, without adding space to the home. An example may be a luxury kitchen fit out which may cost an added ,000, but doesn't increase the house size. Using our example above the square metre rate would jump to ,066 per square metre and to the untrained eye would seem to represent poorer value than the ,000 p/sqm house. Having an specialist like a construction Broker working for you to help you collate 'apples to apples' makes the comparison process a lot easier.
However, the base price of the house normally excludes site costs and finishing costs. Often added engineering costs are separate from this shape also. This is where it's a lot more difficult to ascertain pricing until final quotes are received. However, as a guide site costs are commonly less than ,000 in Perth, Western Australia for sandy construction sites. Where that is the case then engineering is also minimal. added surprises may arise if other site conditions are found such as rock removal or clay. Ask your maker or local council if those conditions are prevalent in your area.
Your finishing agenda should be completed also and will include items such as; Floor coverings to the main living areas, carpets to bedrooms and theatres, added brick paving, window treatments such as blinds and curtains, air conditioning, clothes line, letter box, organery shed, swimming pool, swimming pool fencing and gates, light fittings and installation*, internal wall painting*, landscaping and reticulation* and boundary fencing*. The items marked with an asterisk * are sometimes included in the base price of the home or by the developer.
Finally, one cost that is most often overlooked when construction a new house is the loan repayments while building. If you have borrowed money to purchase your block and construction then you will start development repayments once the block settles. As you begin construction the maker will draw down develop payments after each stage is completed on site. You should factor these repayments into your plan to build so that you can undergo the repayment costs especially when the home is practically at completion and the repayments are the highest (as most of the loan will have been drawn down).
If you are using the services of a building broker then they should shape a clear guide as to expenses that may arise during the construction of your new home. Having a small contingency put aside for under construction variations should also be a consideration. If done properly, you should have peace of mind through the whole construction experience and indeed enjoy the process.
