A custom-built home is one that has been designed and built specifically to meet your needs, design preferences and budget.
When you choose a custom home builder like Waltara Homes, you will be involved with each stage of planning, design and building.
Building a home starts with a thorough survey and assessment of your block of land to understand street access, air flow, sun direction throughout the day and across the different seasons and whether there are neighbouring buildings, large trees or other physical features to take into account.
A custom builder will also be able to advise on the best use of blocks that are unusually shaped or have a steep gradient.
An important part of the planning process involves a comprehensive consultation with the Waltara Homes design team to get a complete picture of your family’s lifestyle, your current and future needs and your priorities in regards to the allocation of space. Families who do a lot of entertaining at home, will want more space allocated to indoor or outdoor dining areas, or food preparation and cooking areas. Families with young children may want to include a play room, while older families could opt for a home theatre room.
The Waltara Homes design team will also get an idea of your taste and preferences for exterior and interior building materials and finishes. For example, young families will want interior surfaces that pose a minimal risk to children and are easy to clean. Having pets will also influence the type of flooring and surfaces your choose.
The garden also needs to be considered as part of the home. The Waltara design team will want to understand how much time and effort you want to put into your garden. Whether you need a lawn, a cricket pitch, a swimming pool or a vegetable garden.
Waltara Homes has a large range of architecturally-designed home designs that can be adapted and modified to meet different needs and preferences without incurring additional architect fees. However if clients prefer to have their home designed from the ground up, Waltara Homes can recommend local architects or work with your own architect.
