Is It Better To Build New or to Renovate?

Building a new home or renovating an existing one are both great options, and it really comes down to what fits your specific needs and preferences. At Hughes Elite Builders, we offer both services and can help you consider the pros and cons to make the best decision for you and your family. Some benefits of building a new home include having complete control over the design and layout, as well as potential energy savings. This can ensure that we build a home which is completely upto date with modern trends while also incorporating current building innovations such as smart home technology. On the other hand, renovating an existing home can be more cost-effective (pending a site inspection with us) and allow you to add value to your property or make the most of an ideal location / block of land. It's important to keep in mind that the renovation process can be disruptive and there may be limitations to what can be done with the existing layout. No matter what you decide, you will be in safe hands working with an experience builder like us to help you get a better understanding of the costs, time frames and building constraints. We're here to help you create the home of your dreams.

Can I afford to build a new home?

The cost is influenced by many factors such as; building materials, design elements and the ease of building specific architectural features, land value, inclusions that make your home unique and suitable for your lifestyle and much more. Hughes Elite Builders will work with you and even perform property market research. The have established relationships with great local lenders, brokers and property valuers who are locals to the Southern Downs. This enables us to help you refine a building design and arrive at a budget that will work for you. It doesn't cost anything to get started and find out what your options are.

What do I need to know before building my first home

Before building your first home you will need to spend some time thinking about your needs and collect design inspiration to help us understand what your dream home should look like. This will help you to inform the design and planning process with your builder and guarantee your first home is one that fits you and your family. If you are struggling to research your needs and design interests, Mark will help you navigate this process shortly after your initial consult.

Project Summary

An Enjoyable Experience, So Good She Wanted To Sell & Start Again

Hughes Elite expertly brought Wendy’s vision to life, creating a modern home with high ceilings and an open layout that maximises the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The team worked closely with Wendy to design a home that would meet her entertaining needs and appeal to potential buyers in the future. Despite the size and layout constraints of the block, Hughes Elite Builders was able to design a home that supports the party going on into the late nights while reminding her of why she lives in the Southern Downs – the country views!

Wendy was thrilled with the finished product and the seamless building process, and even expressed a desire to sell the home and start the process all over again.
