We are getting lots of enquiries lately from customers looking for a block of land to build their dream home on. Knowing that we offer free site inspections, people in Brisbane and surrounding regions are coming to us for assistance in finding the perfect block to suit their family’s needs.

Generally, the block of land will cost more than the building itself, so finding the right block to build your new home on is just as important as finding the right builder! With our experience in dealing with all types of building sites over many years, we know that some blocks make for better and easier building than others, saving you several thousands of dollars in unforeseen costs.

Whether you are choosing a block in a new housing estate in the Redlands, looking for acreage in the in North Brisbane, splitting an existing block in an Inner Brisbane older area or looking to knock down rebuild in Logan City, we can help you to find the block that will be the best to build on.

During our visit to the site we will assess factors such as orientation, contours, width, depth and size. We will be able to give you advice of retaining walls, site drainage, whether tree’s need to be removed. We can check the zoning with the local council, and review covenant requirements. We’ll check for designated building envelopes, sewer connection points, water connection, electrical connection and check with the council for specific overlays (fire/flood/noise).

Remember to seek advice from us before you buy. We can guide you and offer practical design and building solutions for most blocks. This will give you valuable information up front and potentially save a lot of time, money and frustration in the long run. You will be able to fully assess the block and set a realistic budget for the build. Often the attraction of a bargain price for a block can be quickly eroded by the extra cost of building a home on a nasty site. They are usually cheaper for a reason!
