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.

Client Testimonial

I wanted to work with a local builder I could trust

I recently built my dream home with Hughes Elite Builders, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a country person, I wanted to work with a local builder I could trust, and I found exactly that in Mark and his team. From the moment I walked into their display home, I knew I had made the right choice.

Mark and his wife, Jodie, guided me through the entire process with professionalism and care. They helped me with planning, design, and selections, making it so easy for someone like me who isn’t a design expert. They even accompanied me on shopping trips to ensure everything came together seamlessly. Building a home on my own felt less daunting knowing I had their support.

The construction phase was a joy. The team treated me like family and made me feel welcome on-site. They were always polite and never left any work unfinished. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding. My new home feels luxurious and complete, unlike some project homes I’ve seen in the neighborhood.

The handover process was smooth, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Mark and his team took care of everything, and I never felt like just another customer. They made me feel valued and ensured that every detail was attended to.

Working with Hughes Elite Builders was a fun and stress-free experience. They turned my vision into reality and exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering building a new home. From planning and design to construction and handover, they are with you every step of the way, making the journey enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you, Mark and the Hughes Elite team, for building my dream home and treating me like family throughout the process.
