Your Questions Answered
How long does it take to build a home?
The timeline depends on the size, complexity, and approval process. Generally, standard homes take 6-12 months, while luxury and custom builds may take 12-24 months. External factors such as weather, material availability, and council approvals can also affect the schedule.
Do I need council approvals before building?
Yes, council approvals are required for new home builds, major renovations, and structural extensions. At Merkara Homes, we manage the entire approvals process, working closely with local councils to ensure all necessary permits are in place before construction begins.
Do you offer fixed-price contracts?
Yes, we offer fixed-price contracts to provide cost transparency and financial certainty. This ensures that our clients avoid unexpected costs and allows for better budgeting throughout the construction process.
Can I supply my own materials or fixtures?
Yes, clients can supply their own materials, fixtures, or finishes; however, they must meet our quality and compliance standards. We recommend sourcing from our trusted suppliers to ensure product warranties and seamless integration with our construction process.
Can you help me with financing or construction loans?
While we do not provide direct financing, we work with financial advisors and mortgage brokers who can assist in securing construction loans and financing options. We can also provide guidance on budget planning and cost estimates to help you through the process.
Can I make changes to my home design?
Yes, we offer custom design flexibility throughout the planning stage. Once construction begins, changes may be subject to additional costs and approval delays. We encourage clients to finalise their design during the drafting phase to avoid unnecessary modifications later in the build process.
