Building your dream home is an exciting milestone, and at Thomas Archer, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Whether you’re looking for an architecturally pre-designed home or a fully custom design, our team is dedicated to delivering homes that reflect your style and lifestyle.

Understanding the Costs of Building Your Home

When it comes to building your dream home, understanding the costs involved is key to feeling confident throughout the process. The advertised base price is just the starting point, and the final contract price will typically include additional elements such as site costs, upgrades and customisations. Here’s a breakdown of the key components to consider:

Base Price

The base price is the starting cost of your home build, covering the minimum standard for occupancy. However, each Melbourne builder has a unique definition of ‘standard’ inclusions. At Thomas Archer, we ensure transparency by clearly outlining what’s included in our base price, so you know exactly what to expect.

Hidden Costs

Beyond the base price, there are often additional costs to account for, such as demolition, site preparation, connection fees, and compliance requirements. Our team will work closely with you to identify and resolve these costs early in the process, ensuring no surprises down the track.

Selections Process

One of the most exciting stages of building your home is the Selections Process. During this phase, you’ll confirm your interior and exterior choices, with the option to upgrade standard inclusions to suit your style. At Thomas Archer, our immersive Style Studio is designed to inspire you, guided by our experienced Interior Designers.

Upgrades

With the flexibility of our architecturally pre-designed Expression Series range, clients have the opportunity to upgrade particular features and premium finishes—including layout changes—to best suit their needs. These enhancements will influence the final price, and we’ll be there to guide you through every detail, ensuring your home is truly yours.

Final Costs

Your final contract price is a fixed total cost for your build, including resolved site costs, upgraded features, and any customisations. At Thomas Archer, we pride ourselves on delivering clarity and confidence, so you can focus on the excitement of building your dream home.
