I'm basically wondering where to start regarding building a house? I mean, other than the financing, that's a whole other story. *lol*
Say you have a budget, a location in mind, and a house layout suggestion. Who do you approach first? Do you go to a builder that does house and land packages even though they don't offer the floorplan and location combo that you want? Do you go to someone who sell land and house plans separately, if this option even exist? Or do you approach land sellers and house builders separately; if so, which one first? Can you approach a house builder with a floor plan and ask for a quote? Do you need finance or loan pre-approval sorted before building and/or land companies will take you seriously?
Are house and land packages necessarily much cheaper than buying them separately?
I'm in Brisbane, and we're wanting to built north or west, preferably Fernvale or North Lakes. Can anyone recommend builders and/or land sellers for these areas?
It's all so confusing!!
