We have built many homes on volatile soils with all timber construction including exposed timber ceilings and polished timber floors.
We recognise that residential building is a specialized field that requires more than just good; building; skills. Construction processes require a wide range of skills that includes good organisational abilities, good communication skills, and a high ability to deal and work with all types of people. At Ross Turner Building we have worked hard at developing these skills over many years through a wide variety of experiences.
Three obvious places would be by contacting a builder, an architect or building designer, and visiting a display village. At Ross Turner Building and Design we can cover all bases. We are licensed building designers as well as builders who will take you through the whole journey from start to finish – we are a one stop shop.
A really important question! Most people’s home is the largest investment they will make in their lives – you have to trust your builder. Our Tips: Talk to people who have built before Check and see if the builder is a part of an accredited building organisation like Master Builders Check their license history And ask if they are happy for you to talk to people they are currently building for At Ross Turner Building we pride ourselves on “excellence in building and service”.
There is a huge difference between the two experiences. If you want the cheapest product you can get, & don’t really want to be involved too much in the journey – choose a project builder. Beware though price is far from everything & you may just get what you pay for! We only take on one major project at a time to give our absolute & best focus to that client. We employ permanent tradesmen & reliable subcontractors. You also maybe surprised how competitive our prices are!
Price is powerful – when it comes to consumers – we all want a bargain. But the saying “you get what you pay for” is true. The line will be that “we have better buying power”. Having been in this industry for over 35 years& having worked for large builders as well as small, I’ve learned suppliers have to give the same prices to the smaller guys as the big guys, otherwise they lose their business. Make sure you get a clear specifications list of what type of inclusions are going into your home.
It’s important to build a smart home! Energy efficiency is a contemporary hot potato - who doesn’t want a greener planet & a home that costs less to run? Like all things, there is a balance. There is a basic requirement for energy efficiency within the Australian Building Code or the extreme of an off the grid & self-sustainable home. Everything comes at a price. This is where our design skills allow us to advise on the best way to achieve the level of efficiency you desire within your budget.
1/ Your lifestyle – where you want to live & what do you want to do in your home 2/ Your tastes – what types of styles do you like? Starting a Pinterest page is a good idea – any time you see something you like – pin it. Take photos of local houses you like too. 3/ Your block of land – location, street scape, natural features, views, slopes to mention a few. 4/ Your budget – at Ross Turner Building our goal is always – to get a hold of your dream and then to design and build to your budget.
An initial visit to your financial advisor & bank is a wise way to go. Get an idea of how much you are likely to be able to borrow & finance is really important. Shop around and find the best deal Have a plan B – that is almost as good as plan A – plan for a rainy day! Then visit your builder – it’s important to communicate roughly what you would like your spend to be. Otherwise the design brief can be a waste of money if it’s outside your budget constraints.
We believe we are excellent value for money with decades of experience & know how to guide you through the whole journey. OUR GOAL – for you to “enjoy your building experience” & be thrilled with your new home. OUR FOCUS – to listen to your dreams & desires, & create something unique & special. OUR APPROACH – personal with great communication. OUR ACHIEVEMENTS – 35 years of experience & multiple regional & state building awards.
