Over the years, Geelong and its surrounding communities have been the locations for some of the most impressively constructed homes in Victoria.
A quick look at Master Builders’ annual Building Awards web pages offers ample proof of that, I think.
But that success doesn’t happen by accident.
The first step in building your new home should be choosing a registered builder. It’s one of the smartest things you can do to make your own building project a success.
Before you look for a builder, develop a comprehensive budget and have clear, detailed plans.
Then ensure you are always using registered builders and tradespeople – be sure to ask for references and examples of their previous work.
Decide on what you want to achieve from the start and ensure everything is in place to prevent unforeseen, costly amendments and confusion later on.
Before committing, get at least three quotes from registered builders and understand what your budget will buy you.
Finding the right builder for your new home requires good research.
The Master Builders Association of Victoria makes that research easier with membership requirements that help ensure a high professional standard of work, background checks and the opportunity to view a wide portfolio of completed work in the awards section of our website (www.mbav.com.au) and in our publications.
Keep in mind that Master Builders has a Geelong office at 3 Melbourne Road with friendly staff ready to help direct you to useful resources.
So don’t hesitate to contact Master Builders at (03) 9411 4555. It’s our pleasure to assist you.
