CHOOSING A BUILDER – What to look for
Slab upgrades & site costs
If you’ve built before, you’ll know that site costs can often be expensive. It shouldn’t necessarily be that way. Beware companies that quote a cheap house, then quote you site costs that seem REALLY high – they may be trying to add some cream into the job to make up for that “cheap” base price, or to cover the cost of a promotion. At Sandhurst Homes, we do not add 30-50% onto our site costs – in fact, we add nothing! You only get charged what it costs us.
When will the house actually start?
A lot of builders can’t start your home until MONTHS after you sign a contract, despite telling you otherwise BEFORE you signed the contract. They figure once you’re signed, it’s easier to string you along and make you wait. By building with Sandhurst Homes, you get to site much quicker for one simple reason – we don’t have long administration processes which will hold up the start date, nor do we get bogged down with huge backlogs of homes. Typically, its only 5-6 weeks from deposit to contract signing, and 2 weeks to get the building permit – and then we start straight away!
What does a promotion really include, and are they really worth as much as they say?
Some promotions seem too good to be true (eg. $50,000 worth of stuff for $5,000 – not possible!). Look closely – usually the retail value of those goods has been well and truly trumped up (we recently saw a large builder state that tiling 2 shower bases was worth $3300 but they were offering it for free!!! Actual cost, probably about $700 for both shower bases). At Sandhurst Homes, if we offer promotions or discounts, it comes straight out of our own pocket, which is why we only run promotions sporadically and for short periods of time! Instead, we give you the best price first time, every time.
There are so many more questions that should be asked!

TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take our word for it, here is what some of our happy clients have said about us…
< > >
Sandhurst Housing and Design have made building our new home a very exciting and enjoyable experience. We wanted to build with a smaller local builder, and upon meeting Amanda, we knew that’s who we wanted to deal with. The rest of the team were no exception. Amanda, John and Kate have been extremely pleasant to deal with and their patience, guidance, and professional advice have been second to none, and very much appreciated
We have a beautiful well finished house that we can call our family home thanks to SH&D. Building with them was an absolute pleasure. Highly impressed with their eye for detail.
We are wrapped with our experience and thank the team for all their hard work. We regularly recommend Sandhurst to all those we speak to who are about to take on a building project!
We just collected the keys today for our house, and OMG. We are so happy with it! The finishes are great, everything we wanted. We couldn’t thank you enough.
Happy, happy, happy! Our house is everything we asked for!
We can’t thank the Sandhurst team enough for their fantastic effort while building our new home. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and they were in constant communication with us. They were very accommodating with what we requested and hand over was as smooth as could be.
Very happy with our new home. Sandhurst were great to deal with. I would recommend them without a second thought.
We have been in our home almost two years now and it’s still like brand new! The whole process with SH&D was smooth and any questions we had along the way were answered quickly by Amanda and Kate.
