Two Storey Homes from under $600k

The time required to build a two-storey home depends on several factors. Key considerations include the complexity of the site, the intricacies of the design, and the method of construction.

1. Site Complexity: If the building site requires extensive preparation, such as clearing trees, leveling the land, or addressing drainage issues, it can significantly add to the build time.
2. Design Intricacies: Homes with custom designs, unique architectural features, or high-end finishes generally take longer to build than standard designs. Custom features may require specialised labour or materials, which can extend the timeline.
3. Construction Method: The method of construction also plays a critical role. Traditional building methods typically involve a sequence of steps that can take more time, while framed construction methods might reduce the overall build time.

Generally, for a home built using traditional methods, the construction process can take approximately 20 months from start to finish. However, it’s important to note that this is an average estimate and actual build times can vary widely based on the factors mentioned above. Consulting with a builder or contractor can provide a more accurate timeline based on the specific circumstances of your project.

At 101 Residential, we recognise that a standard home design may not quite meet your specific preferences and requirements. That’s why we offer the flexibility to customise a standard floor plan, making changes to better suit your individual needs. Our team is committed to working closely with you to tailor the design of your home, ensuring it aligns with your vision and lifestyle.

Incorporating eco-friendly and energy-efficient features into your home can significantly reduce your environmental footprint and lower your energy costs. At 101 Residential, we can integrate a variety of sustainable options, including:

1. Smart Lighting: Utilise smart lighting systems that automatically adjust based on occupancy and natural light levels. These systems can be controlled remotely and programmed to reduce energy consumption.
2. Passive Solar Design: Implement passive solar design principles to maximise natural heating and cooling. This includes strategic placement of windows, thermal mass materials, and proper orientation of the home to take advantage of sunlight during winter and provide shade during summer.
3. Energy-Efficient Appliances: Equip your home with energy-efficient appliances that use less electricity and water. Look for appliances with high Energy Star ratings to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.
4. Double Glazing: Install double-glazed windows to improve insulation and reduce heat loss. Double glazing helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling.
5. Insulation: Enhance the insulation in your home to prevent heat transfer through walls, roofs, and floors. High-quality insulation materials can significantly improve energy efficiency, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

By incorporating these features, you can create a comfortable, sustainable, and energy-efficient home that benefits both you and the environment.

During the construction process, you will receive regular and detailed updates to ensure you are fully informed about the progress of your new home. You will have direct access to your Client Liaison, who works together with your Site Supervisor to provide timely and updates at key milestones.

1. Key Milestones: You will be informed at each critical stage of the construction process, Slab, Brickwork, Roof Cover, Lock Up and Practical Completion. These updates will help you understand what has been completed and what is coming next.
2. Scheduled Check-ins: In addition to milestone updates, your Client Liaison will schedule regular check-ins to discuss the overall progress, address any questions or concerns you might have, and ensure your satisfaction with the ongoing work.
3. Communication Channels: You can expect consistent communication through various channels, including phone calls and emails.
4. Problem Resolution: If any issues or delays arise, your Client Liaison and Site Supervisor will promptly inform you and discuss the steps being taken to address them. This proactive communication ensures transparency and helps maintain the project’s timeline.

By maintaining open and frequent communication, we aim to make your construction experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, keeping you informed and engaged throughout the entire build journey.
