Time and Money.

A new home build can be a substantial investment, and one that takes time to complete so it's important you understand your circumstances and your budget early, and take into account the time frame of each build which can vary on a number of factors which sometimes are outside of our control, things such as delays with land settlement, initial site costs, and weather are some that can catch you by surprise. Knowing your budget and borrowing power is critical as it can limit your options with home designs.

The more you're aware and prepared the better you can navigate the new build process with your builder to achieve a satisfactory outcome, Our team has been trained and has extensive experience in assisting new clients navigate options that give you the most value for money as well as prepare you for any unforeseen time delay.

Standard Inclusions

The standard inclusions are one of the many points of difference between each builder, and an area of a new build you should pay particular interest to early on prior to deciding on a builder as it's where you can add significant value to your new home investment by choosing the right builder.

We've all heard the stories of blow outs of budget when it comes time to deciding on inclusions so our designers at Nostra has ensured our new home builds come with a standard inclusions package that's anything but standard.
