Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 05, 2021 3:32 pm Hi Has anyone had any experience building a house in the Cairns region? Which builder did you go with and why? Generally, were the costs of materials more expensive being regional? Any tips/advice for those looking at building up that way? So far, I’ve seen that the costs of land are a lot cheaper than southern parts of the country.

This is the second house we are building our first was with Mc Coy homes. We went with MCCoy because they had a display home we loved. This time we chose Eastbuild because he was one of the builders who wasn’t worried of building a 1degree scallion roof the rest we tried tried to get usto change it. Also We contacted his previous clients and they all seemed happy with his work. Building prices have gone up since we first built in 2012. I think for us it got expensive because we had a design in mind that we paid a draftsman to draft exactly what we wanted. Do you know which part in Cairns you are wanting to built?
