Building a New Home

When you're ready to embark on the journey of building your new property, the team at IR Homes are here to help.

We know how to get your new home built on time, with the correct specifications, and to meet your budget requirements.

Here's our process:

1. Initial Appointment

There are many options for building your home, from house and land packages and project homes to custom-built properties or DIY kit homes. Each has its own benefits, disadvantages and costs, so it’s important to work out the timeframe you want to buy in, where you want to live, what you can afford to pay, and which build options best suit your needs.

2. Find your land

If you do not have an existing block, IR Homes can help you to find a block of land that is compatible with want you want to build if you so choose.

Please Note Well: That the block you select can have a significant impact on building costs, so it’s a good idea to retain IR Homes to inspect the site BEFORE you commit to buying the land to make sure it fits with your chosen building design.

3. Choosing the right builder

It’s important to spend time finding the right builder for your project. As builders agents we will approach our builders to ensure the contract they provide covers everything you want and agree to a timeline for completion.

4. Apply for a CONSTRUCTION home loan

Staying on top of your finances is key to the successful construction of your home. Work out how much it’s likely to cost and make sure you have your home loan approval in place before you begin.

Find out how much deposit you’ll need to pay and get your solicitor or conveyancer to check your contract and see how progress payments will be determined.

Before you apply for a home loan make sure you consider all the additional costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, third party professional fees, and any other costs associated with your loan.

5. Sign the contract ONLY after you are completely satisfied with it

Once you’ve agreed to the selected builder's terms and specifications, review the contract carefully with IR Homes in conjunction with your professional advisors (Solicitor/ Accountant/Financial Advisor).

Many common building mistakes are due to clerical errors in the contract, so make sure you feel confident in signing the documents as making any changes after the contract has been signed can be costly.

You may like to get (as additional measure) your own insurance before construction begins, to protect your land, the new property, and the safety of people visiting the site.

6. Monitor the build

It’s important to stay connected with IR Homes at every stage of construction, so you can make sure it stays on time and on budget.

You may like to keep a diary to record important details of the project in writing, such as discussions with the builder, updates on progress, weather, copies of letters and notices, as well as photos of the site throughout the project.

7. Complete the handover

Around a week after practical completion of the house, you should be ready to collect the keys, make any final payments, and move in.

In your new home owners handover pack you should receive a copy of all relevant warranties and certificates as per your contract.

Make sure you have the builder’s written authority that the building is completed and safe to move into.
