I'm a retired builder , I'm disgusted by some of the contractors in the building industry , over my entire career I didn't have a single problem with my clients, my advice to people is pick a smaller builder , a builder who is going to get his hands dirty on the job. All of my work came from referrals by happy clients.
smaller builders dont have good buying power so there are costs involved in this aswell, no?
@@bcatist yes correct , but the lowest price doesn't mean you get the best job . Every client is different, some want a good quality job , others want the cheapest price .
Hi Kingdomfor, I am planning to build a house. Are you available to have a chat to give me some advice? Thank you.
I really appreciate your intention in making such a useful and informative video ! well done.
Thank you 😊
Thanks so much! Who would have thought to search this up on TH-cam and this gem pops up.
With the flat block: Sweet finally Western Australia’s flatness comes in handy!!
Thank you so much! my husband and I are 23 and we have just purchased our block and are looking to build in a few years (we have a similar situation - granny flat)! We are in South Australia and this information has helped us so much! I had no idea how many extras there would be! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! Please post more videos like this :)
These are issues when you don’t build in a established area or in a housing estate . Major builders will not require these owner requirements,all they will ask for is extra for power (generator) if power not supplied
This is exactly where hiring an Architect can give you some peace of mind in not only getting a great design done, but also administering the construction contract and managing contractors.
Omg i feel you 😑😑 prior to building our first new house, it was like tryna understand a new foreign language. But I started to understand more and more going through stages of building and dealing with doggy people. It was extremely stressful. But I know so much now by going through this experience and also watching your video sounds 100% correct. This video will help so many others out there who are looking into building 🙌🏼💕
Thanks for sharing your experience. glad I saw this before I built.

Thank you so much for this video! Building for the first time and literally just have no idea with this stuff. Never even knew what a conveyancer was until I was told I needed one after choosing a block... lol. Thank you!
I didn’t either! I learnt the hard way! Hope it helps you in some way
Amazing information...thanks for your time, effort and the information you have shared. Regards....

I saw your video when I started the process but I didn’t understand the importance of what you are saying. Now my contract phase is over and we are starting the build soon. I watched the video again and OMG it makes so much more sense. I wish I had really acted on your advice. It’s not too late though. Thanks so much!

Great info - Cheers!
Really useful tips
Thanks this is very educative
Great great content, god bless you girl
40 seconds into watching your video, my thoughts: i like you already, let's keep watching ^^
great explanation. Thanks
Thanks a million for this video. Really appreciate the topics you mention, each and every one of them. It is essential to know these facts you voice as the realisation of growing costs and being under capitalised "can" be gut wrenching as time progresses. I am always concerned with these latent conditions and similar. Does fair trading NSW have a facts booklet like their strata living a4 booklet?(...as a starting point). I must continue research. Hope your place is amazing when completed and everything you hoped it would be.
+Steve A thanks Steve 😊 finally finished and very happy 😊 it’s been 3 long years 😂
Great content!

Hi Danni, you have to charge $1000.00 for viewing this video. I will save thousands with this tips when I am going to buy a land. Great information and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much!
Great video 👌
Thanks for this video. It is so tempting to buy a cheap block of land, but building means having to deal with tradespeople, and that means the risk of being ripped off. So many tradespeople will take advantage of those that are not experienced or professional builders. So I will stay away from building and renovating unless I can do most of the renovations myself.
Good luck x
Great Video.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for info 🌹
Thank you so much.
Gday Love the ULTRA WIDE monitor used in the background , Can you please list the specs in the info tab
I am really scared now, great info
Awesome information, accordingly, I will buy an established house instead.
Thanks So much!
Thx 😍😍😍.You 're lovely
It also sounds like your Head-Contractor/builder pulled a fast one on you (via the contract they gave you.)
Thanks. It is better to build it by owner because anyway they have to go through these same problems with council. At least should try.
勁太極-趙堡架 no mate let a builder deal with these issues they have relationships and people to deal with each step you couldn’t buy the materials for the price big builders get it
Very good content
Thankyou
Thx:)
Not All builders are the same . It sounds like you dint have the greatest experience with your project and I can understand the need for a video explaining these items to everyone. It always pays to use the right builder that fits you and your families needs.
This has been great to see an example of what some people have to go through when dealing with the wrong builder
How do you pick out a good builder apart from the obvious(recommendations, reviews, licence verifications etc.) thank you
Our block finally registered after a 5 year wait! Yes 5 years haha we are here now anyways. Who did you build with? Im after a good builder
Hi there if you're looking for builder,you can try with us as well,best price and inclusions
Nish🙂
Is this typical? This industry sounds like a massive rort where those involved treat it as endless money up for grabs and they know you'll get it for them because you have to finish your house.
99% of the industry, after the 2000s when building corporations eased regulations on building codes
Hey Danni,
I appreciate the struggle to build your own home. Mega stressful! And....always over runs in costs. I like the frank admission of the costs and how these came about. Did you complete the house now? How long did it take to complete. ...and did the valuation for the new build work out in terms. Of.equity?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for watching. Luckily my house is valued higher than what I spent! PHEW! it did take from DEC 2014 to OCT 2017 to complete so almost 3 years all up. We are happily living in our house now :)
Nice one! Im very pleased for you! Would you build again?
Haha not unless I could do all of the mentioned things eg. flat block
Probably not though!
Haha. I love the honesty! Wishing you and your family the best in your new home.
Who was your builder?
1:48 - Gday can you build a house under the dirt ? Do you need to build above ground ?
You can level it out but it’s extremely expensive and time consuming.
There is lots of ways to do it but flat is best 👍🏻
Hi Dani, I really liked ur blog. Thanks for making this video .
I have one question .
If I buy a land say 450000 , so for that I need to get a 10% deposit and I would need to secure a loan . Suppose everything is good , I get the loan and buy the land .
Now if I need to get a builder to build our home , would we need to take another loan ? If yes , that means we need to start saving for this 'builder loan' that we need to connect the bank again with ? Am I right ?
Correct, the two loans will combine in the end and the second loan will be paid to the builder in intervals. But yes, you have to pay another deposit on that.
Im currently building a home in melbourne and my land didnt cost that much because it had no bushfire levy and it was considerably flat (land in melbourne is generally flat) and it had everything else. Just another reason why melbourne is better :)
I got mad just by watching this video...sounds like a complete nightmare that never ends. May I ask how much cheaper was in the end compared to buying a complete house in the same area ?
There isn’t much to compare it too, there are acres around or older homes but it was worth it in the end 😊
good video. did you hire an architect? just curious (architectural graduate)
It felt like being robbed in a smooth way by the developer's and the bank. Specially for the first home buyer😑
did you go with jgking homes, Gardiner ?
Nah, not them
Would buying a house and land package be easier for a first home buyer ? Anyone?
Yes it would
do i have to be concern of this if i am getting a house and land package?
I don’t have experience with this, but it’s easier.
Hey Danni, this video is and will always be an evergreen one! Some things never change haha! Remarkable job and hopefully saves heaps of people lots of cash @n5photography
Thanks Naved 😊
Who was your builder
I’d rather not say
Why would you build a house on a land with a 8m drop? We building a house on the uluru rock?
🤣
The Bureaucracy to build something in this country is ridiculous...
after watching this video i feel like i should keep renting for the rest of my life
No, that’s dead money. You’re paying for someone else’s future.
