No matter how much we are told not to, many people can’t help but judge a book by its cover. The same applies when it comes to homes. A beautifully presented front facade is not only important when it comes to building but also plays a huge role in how we feel about our home.
A custom home facade can give us a sense of pride, and even a warm buzz when we arrive home at the end of the day. From modern homes with concrete and steel to quaint timber cottages, home facades are bound to provide everyone with a great first impression.
Committing to building your own custom home is an exciting benchmark to meet. With your land purchased and a vision for your future eagerly awaiting fruition, it’s time to find the right local custom home builder. This is the most important step.
So, what should you look for when researching a local custom builder for your home? From being able to communicate clearly, to hearing your desire for customisation, and providing current testimonials from satisfied customers, you want someone who will be a reliable partner on the road to architectural beauty and success.
Everyone has their own unique taste. Simply glancing at the wide variety in fashion walking down the foot path or street in any urban centre today can give you an insight into the differences in what we find attractive. Australian homes display this same diversity. A wide variety in architectural taste and style has developed across the country over hundreds of years and while some people still gravitate strongly to all that references history and days past, others are now searching the horizon for hints of light shining on all that’s novel and new.

There’s no doubt renovating your home can add new life to an older exterior, but what about diving in for a full knock-down rebuild? It might be a decision with even more benefits than you think.
Knocking down your present home and deciding to work with a custom home builder again on the same site, brings innumerable benefits. First of all, if you love where you live, you get to stay there. Your valuable friend’s network stays intact, you can continue to frequent the local businesses and amenities you’ve grown to love, your address stays the same (no need to update!), and the kids stay in the same schools, adding stability.
