How to calculate the square-metre rate to build your home
A one-size-fits-all square-metre rate is a very blunt tool for estimating the cost to build a house. Our 4-step method gets granular by calculating all the hidden and variable costs.
How much does it really cost to build a house?
When building a custom home, many people only budget for construction costs (based on a square-metre rate). But you also need to consider design, consultants and site and external costs.
Where do you start with building a custom home?
A pre-build feasibility is the place to start when building a custom home. This calculates the cost to prepare your land, as well as the cost of design and construction.
Why design your own home?
Living in a home that matches your lifestyle, values and aspirations is a powerful way to build a more successful, creative, balanced, inspiring, healthy and happy life.
