Try before you buy – it makes sense whether you’re choosing a new car or a home design. Display homes are built for just such a purpose. They allow you to experience a range of home designs first hand so you get a feel for how the home flows, if the room sizes are right for you, if there’s enough storage, and if the finishes, fittings and appliances are of good quality. To streamline the decision-making process, we share some helpful tips from the experts. We also call on some leading home builders to discuss the benefits of a knockdown-rebuild project. Put simply, this involves knocking down an existing house and building a new one in its place. This is popular in inner-city or established suburbs where vacant land is scarce or non-existent, allowing you to build the home you want in the area you prefer.

With energy costs spiraling, ensuring your home has optimum thermal performance, making it as cheap as possible to heat, cool and light, is vital. BuildHome looks at sustainable home building, covering everything from insulation to shading, to show you how you can achieve maximum energy efficiency – and comfort. For the novice owner-builder, or those seeking an economical way to have a home of their own, a pre-fabricated home can be a good choice. Basically, the main components are built in a factory and then delivered to your site for assembly. Then there are kit homes, which also appeal to many first-time owner-builders. They are built like a traditional home but just about everything you need to construct and finish the home is delivered to site as a package. We examine the benefits of both approaches.

With computer modelling and websites offering 3D walkthroughs, it’s now much easier to get a sense of what your new home will look like once it’s built but there is no substitute for actually walking through a home and trying it on for size. Display homes give you a first-hand feel for the orientation of rooms and the flow of the floorplan. They allow you to assess how much natural light the home will get and how easily it connects to the outdoors; to see for yourself if the finishes, fittings and appliances are of high quality. In this edition of BuildHome, we share some expert advice on how to refine your home search and make the most of your visit to a display village. And for those seeking design inspiration, we showcase the 2017 HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards’ winners. From Hamptons-style havens to rural retreats, the homes cover the full gamut.

Our pages this issue are jam-packed with excellent tips, tricks and advice to help you on your home building journey. We dive into the intricacies of project homes and how they can benefit you as a new homeowner (page 34). We also look at building with wood and how it can be a more sustainable method of construction than you may think (page 138). We also take a peek inside some of our favourite cost effective and popular abodes, meeting the craftsmen who have helped bring these beautiful homes to life. Some popular building styles include kit, manufactured and transportable homes (page 107) and display homes (page 83). We also have some gorgeous custom-built houses (page 43) in this issue to inspire you. As always, within these pages we will introduce you to the many expert builders who can make your dream home a reality.

This issue we bring you some of our favourite new builds from across New South Wales and Queensland. Some are custom builds, some are standout display homes, some are owner-built kit homes and some are homes that utilise the best products out there to make each build run a little bit smoother. There are so many different methods of building that can help you create that dream home. A custom build is perfect for those who want complete control and want to create a masterpiece. A project home is suited to those who want a cost-effective, functional but contemporary and fresh build, while a kit home can be a convenient way to build quickly, efficiently — and oftentimes — sustainably, not to mention enabling remote areas to be better accessed. And of course, don’t forget the display homes and villages available to visit that help you visualise their homes in their full glory.

Whatever your end goal, there is an excellent builder or home manufacturer that can help you get there. We hope you find inspiration and practical information within these pages to help you find them.
