We\u2019ve heard them all before: Home is where you hang your heart, home sweet home, or as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz put it \u2013 There\u2019s no place like home. Cringe worthy idioms aside \u2013 there\u2019s something to be said about the concept of \u201chome\u201d. It\u2019s your sanctuary, your kingdom, your little piece of paradise\u2026and the soul reason why so much time and energy is placed into searching for the perfect home.<\/p>\n

While the purchase of an existing home may seem like the easier approach, there are still many factors influencing the buyer that need to be considered (think location, market trends, condition of existing properties). Then there are the needs and wants of the individual and the chances of finding these in an already established house. When you put it like that – it\u2019s of no surprise that more and more people are choosing to go down the custom build path \u2013 and that\u2019s where we come in. We\u2019ve come up with five reasons why we think your next home should be a custom built home (by Kurrajong Steel Homes!)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Custom Design = Your home, your way<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This one is pretty self-explanatory. Put simply, custom design offers design freedom and individual specifications that purchasing an existing home does not. Then there are the challenges that come with land specifics. With the availability of the perfect, flat block of land sometimes hard to come by – difficult shaped, small, narrow, sloping blocks are becoming an increasing popular choice. Any site restraints presented by these types of blocks are able to be overcome with the flexibility that custom design solutions can offer.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Warranty<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The unwritten risk of buying an already established home is that you never know when something is going to break down\/need replacing. The beauty of a new home is that everything is new, fully functioning and most importantly \u2013 under warranty.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Low Maintenance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        When you move into your shiny and new home, the chances of any major maintenance issues are incredibly low. Sure \u2013 they may develop over time, but if maintenance really isn\u2019t your thing, there\u2019s always the option during the design process to select materials\/products that are known for their low maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Cost Savings & Efficiency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          New homes are far more energy efficient than homes built five years ago, let alone 20 years ago! With the introduction of new energy codes and improved systems for both heating and cooling, not to mention the added benefits of an environmentally sustainable home design, not only is your home a healthier environment for you to live, it should also save you money on all your heating and cooling costs.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Satisfaction <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            An already established home was more than likely someone else\u2019s dream once upon a time. While you can learn to love the colour of the kitchen benchtops, you still won\u2019t have those 9 foot ceilings you so dream of. There\u2019s something incredibly satisfying about being in charge of everything in your new home. From the design layout, to the selections for your new home \u2013 can there be a truer reflection of you?<\/p>\n

            It\u2019s for these reasons and many more why you should\u00a0find a designer\/builder that specialises in designing homes that are unique to their owners!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
