Choosing the right builder for your dream home in 2019 is easy with Hallmark Homes at North Harbour

How to Choose the Right Builder for You

Looking to build a new home in 2019? Many people decide to start searching for a builder at the beginning of the new year – new year, new start, so to speak! If this is something you’re considering, take a look at the checklist below. It may help you avoid some common mistakes and make your choice a bit easier!

Hallmark Homes

 

Your Checklist

1. Work out what you need
What size, type and price range are you looking for in your new home? Most builders specialise in a specific type of home, price range or style. The building materials, tradespeople and even the building process itself can differ greatly by type and price of home. So look for the right fit for you.

2. Look for an experienced builder
Experience does matter. Look for a builder with lots of experience in the type of home you want. Doing some research upfront will definitely pay off. Ask for references from past customers. And most importantly, only choose a licensed builder.

3. Define your style
While many builders have expertise in a variety of designs, it makes sense to look for a builder whose work includes at least some examples of the style of home you want. For example, don’t go for a builder who specialises in traditional homes, if you’re after a contemporary look.

4. Visit display homes
Once you’ve narrowed down a shortlist of preferred builders, you should visit their display homes. Pay careful attention to the look, feel and quality of their homes, but try not to be distracted by the furnishings, styling and other extras that aren’t included in the home build price. This can be deceiving!

5. Look for quality
It sounds obvious, but make sure you look for signs of quality construction and attention to detail when you visit the display homes. Also consider the building products they use. Are they quality brands with good reputations? What kind of people work for the builder? Did the sales consultant show genuine interest in you and your needs? Did they listen and answer your questions? This is often just as important as the build itself – communication is key.

 

At Hallmark Homes, we build trust

Hallmark build approximately 400 homes around South East Queensland every year for all kinds of customers, from young families who need room to grow, to empty nesters wanting to downsize. They are the ‘go to’ builder for people looking for a home that offers excellent quality at a great value price.

Hallmark Homes

Hallmark Homes are proud to present three fabulous new display homes at the North Harbour Display Village – the Aspire 291, the Horizon 214 and the Edge 217.

 

The Aspire 291

Hallmark Homes

Offering a modern take on the classic Queenslander, the Aspire 291 is the first Hallmark display home ever to have a fully clad exterior, creating a breezy, coastal look, just made for relaxed Queensland living. With a stunning portico featuring natural stone in soft grey and cream hues, this is a classic look that will never go out of style. The Aspire 291 is a spacious home with four large bedrooms, a separate study, family/meals area, media room, kids’ activity area and a large outdoor alfresco area.

 

The Horizon 214

Hallmark Homes

With a gorgeous front façade featuring high gloss tiles and stone, the Horizon 214 is one of Hallmark’s most popular home designs. A flexible layout suitable for both families and downsizers, the Horizon 214 offers three generous bedrooms, a large study or fourth bedroom, spacious family/meals area, gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry and a separate media room.

 

The Edge 217

Hallmark Homes

With a spectacular cedar clad portico and generous timber entry door, this fantastic new display home offers a unique combination of contemporary style and value. A large, open plan kitchen looking onto the family/meals area and alfresco areas is a highlight of the Edge 217 by Hallmark Homes. The island bench and walk-in pantry are perfect for the keen chef in your family. Four generous bedrooms and a separate media room make this a highly sought after design.

If you’re considering building a new home, make sure you visit as many homes as possible to get an idea of what you need. A home at North Harbour ticks all the boxes for a great investment in your future – the longevity of the project, location, experience of the developers and first-class amenities.

We’re located 35 minutes from the Sunshine Coast and 45 minutes from Brisbane CBD in the up and coming suburb of Burpengary East. With an array of new global stores such as IKEA at North Lakes, a new university campus arriving in 2020 at Petrie and regular road and transport upgrades offering employment and excellent lifestyle amenities – the northside has become a very sought-after location.

The North Harbour team is on hand 10am-5pm every day to help you through the purchasing process and the North Harbour Café is also open every day to restore you after you’ve viewed the many display homes on offer. There’s plenty of space to sit and discuss options and even two playgrounds (one in the Display Village and one next to the Sales Centre) for kids to play in while you have a chat.

One of the main reasons our residents chose to build new rather than established homes in the area is that building your home means you can get exactly what you need. No need to spend on renovations or competing against other buyers on price – just choose your house and land package and get ready to move into the northside’s best new development. There are plenty of designs to choose from, as you’ll see from our Display Village of 33 homes, with a lot of exciting styles and layouts on offer. You can also custom build and work with your builder to design your own home.
