Before you buy - Part 4 Choosing a Home Design
This is the exciting part, choosing a home design that’s a little more you! Visiting our display homes will give you a chance to look at a range of different options and see what’s possible. You’ll be able to get a feel for the home layout, test the fixtures ,compare finishes, and really just soak in the space and see what it would be like to live there. This really helps you work out what you’d like in a home design and what’s not so important for your family’s lifestyle.
At Celebration Homes we understand that functionality is extremely important when designing a home. We don’t want you to end up with something that’s beautiful but not functional. Instead, we want you to end up with something that’s beautifully functional. That’s why we use our knowledge and experience to design homes that are simple and practical.
Handy Hint: Consider writing a wish list of things that are important to you in your new home, like plenty of storage, a theatre vs an office etc. Then once your wish list is complete, have a chat with one of our New Home Consultants, they can help you find the right design, one that’s a little more you.
Signing Your Preliminary Works Contract
Once you have chosen the perfect block, found your dream home design and decided on a builder, it’s time to sign the contract to build your brand new home! This is called a Preliminary Works Contract (PWC). This contract will include;
An itemised list of your inclusions and the specification;
- A list of any changes that have been made to the standard design;
- A list of any developer requirements for developer compliance; and
- An itemised costing of the build (including site works)
Signing the PWC is the first step towards building your new home! It really is something to celebrate, as you will now move through to the ‘Pre-construction’ phase where your new home vision starts to come to life!
FAQs
All of our homes are assessed for Energy Compliance to comply with the NCC requirements. Our New Home Consultants can provide further information on what this entails and that means for you, just reach out.
To ensure that Celebration Homes can deliver a high standard of quality and build your home without impacting on construction timeframes, we do not allow clients to supply and install their own products into our homes during the construction stage. Of course, you’re more than welcome to install these things after Key Handover.
New homes on smaller blocks are often built close to a lot boundary to make effective use of space. When building up to the adjoining neighbours property, a boundary wall is needed. This is a wall to the garage which is built one brick course higher than the external walls and is within one metre of the adjoining lot.
The boundary wall and garage roof contain a fire flashing component in the detail which eliminates the chance of fire spreading from or to the adjoining neighbour. All Celebration Homes come standard with a boundary wall and is included in the price of the home.
