Display home villages, like HomeWorld Box Hill, are an excellent way to explore multiple off-the-plan homes in one convenient location. They give you the chance to experience the build quality, style, and inclusions offered by different builders, as well as have one-on-one discussions with their teams.
To make the most of your visit, it’s important to plan ahead. With dozens of homes and builders on display, you want to leave feeling informed and inspired, not overwhelmed.
Prepare before you go
Start by creating a checklist of the features your new home must include. Consider questions like:
How many people will live in the home, and will this change over time?
How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need?
Do you love casual entertaining and require a large kitchen and alfresco area?
How many cars will your garage need to fit?
Will you be working from home?
Your answers will help determine the home layouts and inclusions that will best suit your lifestyle.
Next, gather information about your block of land, including its dimensions, slope, easements, and other considerations. This will help builders advise you accurately during your visit.
Set a realistic budget
Creating a budget is the single most important step in building your new home. Determine what you can comfortably borrow or contribute from savings.
Knowing your budget helps narrow your builder options and ensures you only explore homes within your price range. Display homes are designed to impress, but staying realistic will save time, reduce stress, and avoid disappointment.
Research builders
With 110 Box Hill display homes, it’s well beyond anyone’s time or headspace to visit them all.
Well, before you visit the village do some research on the builders that will meet your criteria. Budget is a major consideration, but other factors like home design, size, and areas where they build need to be understood.
You could also do some anecdotal research by talking to family and friends who’ve recently built a new home, or looking around your area to see which companies are building nearby.
Plan your visit and book appointments
It’s best to limit the number of homes you visit in a single day. A short, focused itinerary ensures you can give each home your full attention.
Book appointments with builders wherever possible. This guarantees time with their experts and a thorough walkthrough of their display homes. Having some flexibility to explore additional homes is fine, but confirmed appointments provide peace of mind that you’ll get the information you need.
Ask questions, take notes, and capture photos
Prepare a list of questions to ask each builder, including:
Can the floor plan, inclusions, or façade be customised?
What is included in the base price, and what are the additional costs?
How does the building process work?
Which of your designs will fit on my block?
Take detailed notes, including builder names, design names, and dates, and snap photos to help you remember key features. This makes it easier to compare homes and share your thoughts with family or your advisor.
