You want to build a custom home.


But first, the million-dollar question (hopefully not literally):


"How much is this actually going to cost me?"


We hear this daily.


So let’s stop the guessing.


We’ll talk about real numbers, and talk about what impacts price, and how you can take control.

But here’s the kicker: that’s just the house.


You also need to factor:

  • Land prep

  • Driveways & fencing

  • Landscaping

  • Council consents & fees

  • Appliances & fixtures (yep, some builders leave those out!)
