Top 10 Things to Consider When Building Your Dream Custom Home

Are you dreaming of a custom-built home that perfectly suits your lifestyle, tastes, and needs? Custom homes designed specifically for each homeowner or family are arguably the most rewarding style of home. Once the build process is done, you’ll find yourself living in a modern, stunning home specially customised and built just for you and your family, with unique features to suit your family’s lifestyle that no other home has.

The team at David Reid Homes, a renowned custom home builder franchise with seasoned custom home builders throughout Australia, are here to guide you through the exciting journey of bringing your dream home to life. Before you begin your journey, here are 10 things to consider when building your dream custom-built home.

1. Define your Vision

Before you start any construction, it’s crucial to have a clear vision of what your dream home looks like. Consider the architectural style, number of bedrooms, outdoor spaces, and any special features you desire. Create a vision board or a list of must-haves to communicate your ideas effectively. If you’re looking for inspiration, have a look at our house plan gallery to see if one of our carefully planned designs suits your style and needs.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

Building a custom home is a significant investment so it’s essential to have a comprehensive budget that considers all possible expenses, including taxes, interior décor, landscaping, and a contingency reserve for unforeseen costs. When outlining your budget, you can work alongside the consultants from David Reid Homes to set a realistic budget that aligns with your financial capabilities.

3. Choose the Right Location

Location is everything when it comes to your dream home. Consider factors such as proximity to work, schools, amenities, and the overall ambience of the area. The David Reid Homes team can guide you in finding the perfect location for your custom build, as our network of experienced custom home builders is nationwide. Visit our Local Custom Home Builder page to find your nearest home builder.

4. Select your Dream Design

David Reid Homes offers a range of stunning pre-designed plans or the option to create a fully custom design from scratch. Consider your family’s needs, lifestyle, and future plans when choosing the design that suits you best. Check out our house plan gallery to view our range of styles, floor plans and fully customisable designs.

5. Plan for the Future

Think about your long-term needs. A well-designed custom home should accommodate changes in your life, whether it’s a growing family, an aging parent, or additional space for a home office.

6. Quality Materials

When building your dream home, don’t compromise on the quality of materials. David Reid Homes takes pride in using materials of the highest standard, ensuring your home stands the test of time and looks stunning for years to come.

7. Energy Efficiency

In a country as vast as Australia, energy efficiency is paramount. Discuss sustainable building practices and energy-saving features with your David Reid Homes builder to consider incorporating solar panels, efficient insulation, and LED lighting. These sustainable options can help reduce your environmental footprint and save on energy bills in the long run.

8. Safety and Compliance

Ensure your custom-built home meets all local building codes and safety standards. David Reid Homes is well-versed in these regulations and manages the whole compliance process, so you can rest easy knowing your home is secure and compliant.

9. Stay Involved

Your involvement throughout the building process is essential. All our David Reid Homes build teams encourage consistent communication and site visits to ensure your vision is realised throughout the build process. Our custom home builder experts keep you updated every step of the way with regular check-ins and progress updates.

As CEO and Managing Director of David Reid Homes, I am delighted to announce that I have moved to 100% ownership of David Reid Homes Australasia with my family company completing the buyout of the New Zealand based majority shareholders in July 2021.

As part of the buyout, the Beissel family acquired the worldwide rights for the David Reid Homes IP.

With over 45 years in the building industry and 25 years involvement as a leading player in the building franchise sector, I am very excited about growing the David Reid Homes franchise into the leading building franchisor in Australia.

Already a strong franchise on the eastern seaboard particularly since I accepted the CEO role in David Reid Homes Australasia in 2011, David Reid Homes will be looking to expand its franchise numbers of quality builders across Australia. At David Reid Homes, we specialize in building quality luxury homes with our franchisees accessing a structure of world class business and marketing systems enabling our franchisees to grow sustainable businesses – great opportunities for builders looking to take their existing business to a higher level with a network of like-minded colleagues supported by world class systems.

Many have already become David Reid Homes franchisees resulting in testimonials like this one featuring our Tamworth franchisee.
