If you are looking into building a new home with Mojo Homes, it is ideal to have an estimate of the costs you will need to consider when budgeting for your build. Many factors need to be considered both during and after the home-building process.

Cost factors

Land and location

The price and location of land are large contributors to the overall cost of building a home. The price of land can vary from state to state and from suburb to suburb. Terrain and the condition of the land on which the building is being built also have a significant impact on the cost to build. 

Mojo Homes offers a range of house-and-land packages in highly sought-after locations to help streamline the process of finding suitable land for your build.

Navigating NSW site costs

Every block of land in NSW is different, and the ground beneath your home plays a big role in your total investment. Site costs cover the essential preparation required before we even begin construction. This includes everything from soil testing and excavation to slab piering and connecting your home to essential services.

Factors such as a sloping block or specific council requirements can affect these figures. At Mojo, we provide a clear assessment of these costs upfront, ensuring your budget stays on track. Getting a free site inspection is the best way to understand the specific requirements for your land.

Size

The most common factor determining the final cost of your home is size. Home designs with multiple living areas and numerous bedrooms will naturally cost more. Determine the right home design for you by reading our tips on choosing one that suits your specific situation.

Landscaping

Amid the excitement of planning your new build, landscaping is often an afterthought. Including landscaping in your home loan is a must. You don’t want to get to the end of your build and be left with a beautiful home...and dirt. Landscaping costs can vary depending on what you are after. When planning your landscaping finances, creating a landscape plan helps you manage and break down the cost of each element in your design. Driveways, fences and letterboxes should also be considered as a part of this budget.
