You, like many other Kiwis, likely have a dream to design and build your own home.
That dream can become reality.
And here’s why chasing it right now is the smartest action you can take.
One of simplest actions you can take is to build your project when others aren’t, but that aside, here’s our nine reasons why:
9 Reasons Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Build
Construction costs have plateaued (and in some cases dropped)
The government is removing red tape to allow international materials to be used = bigger selection, more competition
Interest rates are dropping, meaning cheaper borrowing
Builders are hungry for their next project – competition is high, margins are low
Trades, like electricians, plumbers and tilers are hungry for work
Land prices are lower, ensuring better value for money
Engineers, surveyors and other consultants are more available
Winter is the best time to start designing, so earthworks can start in summer
It’s the calm before the storm – costs and demand will increase, so take advantage of getting in now
But Why Doesn’t Everyone Start Building Now?
Human psychology is intriguing – when everyone’s building, FOMO (Fear of missing out) sets in and everyone wants to build.
Take your mind back to mid-2022, when builders were rare and GIB was treated like gold.
The cost of land was high and everyone, from the surveyor through to the painter, was charging a premium due to the high demand.
But even so, we still wanted to build. Now, you have the rare chance of access to the best tradesmen, builders and material supply. It’s the best time to build.
