When you’re building a new home with Platinum Homes, there are countless details to consider and electrical planning is one area that can often get overlooked.

At Platinum Homes, every home starts with a vision. For some, it’s a warm and welcoming family space. For others, it’s a modern design that celebrates open-plan living. Whatever your dream, we’re here to bring it to life with expert guidance, quality craftsmanship and a commitment to building around what matters most to you.

At Platinum Homes, we believe your new home should be more than just a house - it should be a place where comfort, efficiency, and sustainability come together. We’re continuously improving how we build - minimising waste, reducing harm, and shaping a more sustainable future.

At Platinum Homes, we believe in building more than just homes - we’re passionate about supporting the communities we’re part of.

That’s why we back every home with industry-leading build assurances and a commitment to quality craftsmanship, ensuring you can build with confidence and peace of mind.

With a little planning before you build your new home, you can design a space that maximises natural light, creating a fresh, inviting, and naturally radiant atmosphere.

We’re proud to announce our partnership with Kleenstone, a pioneering initiative that’s transforming the way we think about kitchen benchtops.

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.
