Building VS Buying in 2023

There’s much debate in the construction and real estate industries around whether buying or building is a better investment. And while buying a home might be tempting, in the long run, it might end up costing you more to alter the home to suit what you are really after. After all, it was built with someone else in mind.


By building your home brand new with us, you can be part of creating a space that’s truly yours with you, your family and your ideal lifestyle in mind. Achieve Homes takes care of the process from start to finish and are here to offer advice to get the most out of your ideas, budget and inclusions list.

 

You can also save money by building versus buying. In most cases, buyers who purchase house and land packages will pay stamp duty on the land only, rather than paying stamp duty on the combined price of a home that’s already built on a block.


Plus, when you build with us, we offer you a maintenance period after hand over, where we offer any required services to ensure everything in your new home is in tip top shape even after you’ve moved in.


While it may seem home building is a long process, there is a significant amount of time to be invested when buying, such as searching for the right home at the right budget, and attending inspections and auctions.


When you have our all-in-one, in-house team taking care of each part of the planning for you, you’ll save time versus having to coordinate all the aspects of buying yourself. And when you build your own brand new home, there’s no beating the satisfaction when it all comes together – just as you’d dreamed.

 

Building is Now More Sustainable in 2023

Sustainability is top of mind this year, and it’s definitely one of our highest priorities at Achieve Homes. Building with sustainable materials is a major focus for us, as we aim to decrease our carbon footprint across areas such as construction, design, maintenance, and operation of new homes.


It’s our innovative approach that has led us to adapt sustainable building materials, including steel frames and trusses, metal roofing, and Australian made Biax™ waffle pod systems and Weathertex cladding. Because at Achieve Homes, we constantly strive to improve our sustainability efforts, adapting innovative and new green technology as it comes on the market, to ensure your home is future proofed for generations to come.

A Home Especially For You

With work-life balance at the forefront of our minds, it’s important that we create spaces we genuinely want to spend time in, rather than spaces born out of necessity. While working from home continues to reign, this doesn’t have to mean isolation and confinement. The new year comes with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity, and this can be injected into our home design style.


When considering whether to build or buy this year, remember that custom home building is not only about the construction. Rather it’s about realising your very own dream home. When you build with us, you choose exactly what you like – the perfect land, the perfect home, the perfect community, the perfect design for you!

Making The Most Of A Sloping Block

18 Apr, 2024
Building on a sloping site? A split-level home design is one of the most effective and sustainable options for uneven blocks of land, as they are designed to follow the natural slope. When building your dream home, this allows you to take advantage of every square metre, while introducing the potential for interesting design elements, such as multi-level living spaces. We’re big fans of split-level living at Achieve Homes, so here are some ways to take advantage of it if you’re thinking of a similar design. Embrace sustainable elements Split-level design homes naturally harness sustainability by deploying many environmentally friendly elements other home designs must adapt to include. A split-level design minimises the site’s earthwork because homes are built to the contours of the land. This helps reduce wastage and the energy required to move soil. The right design also allows for ample natural daylight to cleverly illuminate each space. Split-level spaces also allow for regulated airflow which encourages natural ventilation, making it easier to maintain a consistent temperature. As such, energy efficiency is a given. Enjoy brilliant views No matter where your home is located, it is highly likely that you will have a higher vantage point than your neighbours or other houses in your area. Split-level designs allow you to take full advantage of this positioning, offering the opportunity for amazing views of your surrounding area, whether that be a cityscape, greenery or even the ocean. Best of all, because you are working with the natural slope of the land, your new home has the potential to be architecturally significant without disrupting the streetscape. Utilise the space Split-level designs allow you to take advantage of every square metre of your block, incorporating additional elements like a front and back garden, with an outdoor entertaining area and even a pool. As they overlap the floor space, these types of dwellings can spread further over a block of land. This means the potential for larger living spaces, as well as the introduction of utility rooms or other areas that may have not fit in a single-storey home design. Get creative with your design One of the best ways to take advantage of a split-level design is to let your imagination run wild with the layout and design. You can work with your block of land and surrounding landscapes to maximise views and introduce unique design elements, such as multi-level living spaces, or spreading the bedrooms across two or three levels. If you have teenagers, you may want to include all ‘parent’ rooms – such as a master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in robe – on one level, and ‘children’ rooms on another (think rumpus room, bedrooms and shared bathroom) to allow for additional privacy. These half-level features will make your home feel more spacious and as a result, more luxurious. You can also apply this creative approach to your home’s exterior, adding architectural flair to achieve something a little different. Wondering how you can incorporate split-level building in your dream project? Get in touch with our friendly team at Achieve Homes today.
