First Home Buyers
At Better Way 2 Build, our unwavering commitment is rooted in the belief that we must consistently deliver a superior outcome for first-time builders.
Read on to find out what a building broker is, why you should consider using one, and why we think Better Way 2 Build offers a superior service.
What is a building broker?
A building broker is a professional who assists individuals in navigating the intricate process of building a new home from start to finish.
They serve as your companion throughout the home-building journey, providing support from initial planning to the final completion of your new home. Their primary role is to streamline the construction process, ensuring you achieve a high-quality outcome at the best possible price and within the designated timeline.
When you engage a building broker, they will take the time to fully understand your specific requirements, including your design preferences and budget constraints. They will then tender these specifications to a carefully selected panel of builders and collaborate with you to select the most suitable option. Since building brokers are independent and not affiliated with any particular builder, they are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision regarding your significant investment. Their objective is to alleviate the stress associated with building a new home and ensure you receive excellent value for your money.
Thanks to their extensive experience in the home building industry, building brokers are well-versed in identifying potential pitfalls and challenges to watch out for during the construction process. Moreover, their services are typically paid for by the builder. Instead of the commission that a builder would typically pay to their own salesperson, it is redirected to the building broker.
The outcome is that the cost of your home remains the same, if not lower, than what you would pay directly to a builder. Additionally, you gain peace of mind knowing that you have an experienced and unbiased building expert by your side throughout the entire building journey.
Why should you consider using a building broker?
Well, the process of building a new home can be quite overwhelming. It often entails intricate contracts and complex procedures.
That's where a building broker comes in, with your best interests at heart, to ensure a seamless building process.
Engaging a professional building broker can bring significant value to your home building experience. Since they are independent, they can objectively assess your unique situation and offer recommendations that will not only save you money but also yield the best possible outcome.

The Usual Investment Home Building Process
Step 1
Visit display homes and go online for inspiration.
Step 2
Talk to the bank or broker to establish budget & expected rent.
Step 3
Visit multiple displays confirming what’s achievable.
Step 4
Sign up for a new investment home with a builder.
Pitfalls with the usual home building process
Potential issues can arise shortly after a deposit has been paid for a new build. Buyers may discover discrepancies between the display home they saw and what they have financially and contractually committed to. This is primarily because builders tend to enhance their display homes with premium and extra features, which captivate home buyers. However, these additional features are often not included in the signed contracts. As a result, budget overruns and unwarranted stress can occur.
We have identified two key challenges in the builder selection process:
Limited Options: Many individuals tend to choose a builder solely based on the display homes they visit. However, it is important to note that there are typically only 4-8 builders showcased in any given display home location. This limited selection can restrict your options and potentially hinder finding the most suitable builder for your needs.
Budget Misalignment: Another common issue is when individuals select a builder based on a home design that may fall outside their budget range. Falling in love with a home that exceeds your financial capacity can lead to financial strain and compromise your overall satisfaction with the building process.
