How to Spend Less Time on Upkeep and More Time Enjoying Your Home! A new home should be a place of comfort and ease - not a constant to-do list of cleaning and repairs. If you’re considering a new build, smart design choices at the start can make all the difference in reducing the time and effort needed for upkeep.
When you’re planning your new home, square metre (sqm) rates can seem like a helpful way to compare costs. But if you're relying on those numbers alone, you could be in for a surprise. As an experienced home builder, we know that sqm rates don’t always tell the full story. If you’re considering a design and build approach, it’s important to look beyond the surface. Here’s why.
Designing and building a new home is the perfect opportunity to ensure you never struggle with storage again. By incorporating smart storage solutions into your home’s design, you can maximise space, reduce clutter, and create a beautifully organised living environment.
The kitchen is the heart of every home, where meals are prepared, conversations flow, and memories are made. Whether you’re working with a home builder on your dream home or exploring a design and build project, creating a kitchen that blends functionality with style is essential. Here are some expert tips to help you design a kitchen that seamlessly fits your lifestyle.
Looking to buy a home but struggling to find the perfect fit? Building your own home gives you control, certainty, and a space that’s truly your own.
From the team here at Platinum Homes, we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy festive season.
