When building your dream home, choosing the right custom builder is crucial. However, with so many custom builders competing for your business, it can be a little overwhelming. Fortunately, by asking prospective builders these seven questions, choosing your ideal custom builder just became much easier.
Choose a qualified custom builder who has been building in your area for at least five years. An experienced builder will know the area landscape, property boundaries and values, septic and water locations, electricity and natural gas availability, building codes and more.
A good custom homebuilder will work with experienced tradesmen who care about the quality of your home. They will communicate with you throughout every step of the process and offer professional opinions to help you make quality decisions.
Before choosing a custom homebuilder, ask whether they have experience building the style of home you’re planning and whether they are experienced building in your area.
The answers to these questions can mean the difference between an ordinary house or your dream home.
Unless you have extensive knowledge of the building industry, it can be difficult telling good from poor quality. While you can see cosmetic details like flooring, cabinets and light/plumbing fixtures inside the home, it’s hard to know what’s going on behind the walls.
Sit down with your builder before construction begins, and ask: “Do you have detailed quality assurance checklists?” “Who checks quality and how often?” and, “What happens if I’m not satisfied with the quality of the home?”
A lack of communication is one of the most common complaints among homeowners about their builder. To avoid the frustration of having questions go unanswered, determine a communication method that works for you (i.e. emails, texts or phone calls) from the outset.
Building a home can come with lots of hidden costs we often aren’t aware of. To ensure you don’t exceed your budget, sit down with your custom homebuilder to discuss clear specifications and cost. This way, if anything is unclear to you, you can get it clarified.

As the weather warms and days become longer, one thing is certain – springtime is here. Spring is a season of rejuvenation and rebirth; a time to get rid of the clutter and start fresh. So, if your home is in dire need of a renovation, read on and discover why spring is a perfect time.
Spring is synonymous with a fresh start. Why limit your fresh start to spring cleaning, when you could give your home a much-needed makeover? While you're culling the unneeded clutter, take advantage of the new start by embarking on a stunning home renovation. And, with the change of season, there’s virtually no limit to the stylish touches you can add to every room.
Completing your home renovations in spring allows you to enjoy all summer has to offer in your beautiful home. Think about it: if you’re planning get-togethers with family and friends, the last thing you want is to be halfway through a renovation. Renovating over spring ensures the stunning final product will be on full display by the time your family and friends come calling.
Spring is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather. Those beautiful spring days are also extremely beneficial when renovating your home – especially if you’re on a tight schedule. But why is this the case? Put simply, warmer; longer days translate directly to more time to complete the job. Also, in spring there are far fewer weather-related interruptions (such as storms, high winds and more). So, if you dive into the renovations, they’ll be completed far ahead of schedule and ready in time for summer.
Are you planning to put your home on the market? If so, spring marks the beginning of the busiest home-selling and home-buying season. Home buyers benefit from a wider selection of properties than other seasons, equalling greater turnouts for inspections and auctions.
Renovating your home can significantly increase the chances of selling your home quickly and at a higher value. The more renovations performed on the home, the higher price you’ll fetch, as there will be less for buyers to worry about when they move in.
If you’re ready to launch into a spring home renovation, call or email the experienced team at Resolve Construction today. Our talented team will help you love where you live.
Building on a sloping block can be quite an intimidating prospect. While there are significant challenges, the rewards far outweigh the downsides. If you’re planning to build on a sloping block, keep the following five points in mind.
Which way does your block slope? Does its slope rise from the road, or fall from it? Does it slope from the left or right? You should consider these questions, as your home’s design will be dictated by the slope.
For example, if your block slopes up from the road, the best solution may be to have the garage underneath your home, and living areas open out at ground level in the back. However, if the block slopes down from the road, building a split level which follows the slope down (and positioning a mancave or laundry room in the back) will be more beneficial.
Orientation is an important consideration when taking advantage of solar efficiencies and fantastic views. If you have a north-facing block, main living areas can face north. However, if your block faces south, the views and orientation can be in conflict, so you’ll need to compromise.
To overcome the home’s shortcomings, work with our talented designers to maximise the block’s attributes.
For example, if your home is south-facing, our designers can incorporate windows which maximise your view, but not expansive panoramas which expose your home to winter chills.
When deciding to build on a sloping block, one of the key issues to consider is soil depths are quite shallow, so, it is very likely you will strike rock. To lessen the impact this may have on your future home, select a design which keeps unnecessary excavation to a minimum. Remember to work with your block, not against it.
Our talented designers will help you consider the whole block when creating a plan for your home. We realise a home doesn’t stop at the walls, rather at your land’s boundary. Our designers help you tie everything together. We will bring out the block’s potential, by considering how you will use the land.
For instance, consider space for the clothesline, drive-in access for your car(s), room for a shed or studio, and more.
With the cost of living spiralling out of control, achieving a high-end finish on your renovation (or even renovating itself) can seem little more than a pipe dream. Fortunately, however, there are ways to get everything you want out of your renovation without spending a fortune. Designers are working hard to implement creative ideas to achieve a lavish, luxurious look which doesn’t break the bank.
Read on to discover some of the most innovative high-end finishes which mimic the real thing, all on a family-friendly budget.
A 2 Pack painted finish is one of the most expensive (and labour intensive) cabinetry options. To achieve the same high-quality finish without paying for a painted finish, consider a PET finish. Polyethylene terephthalate is a resin available in high gloss or matte. It closely resembles paint, comes in a multitude of colours and is very durable.
Many vinyl and laminate options are so realistic it’s almost impossible to distinguish them from real Timber. Both options are also cost-effective and highly durable. If this is the look you’re seeking, try to find something with a texture which follows the image of the grain, or has a band-sawn effect.
There is also vinyl and laminate flooring which mimics tile. If you like the look without the waterproof quality of tile, this is a fantastic alternative.
This is a cost-effective way to add character to a space with real wood counters or desktops. However, butcher block requires a lot of maintenance to remain in top condition.
Nothing brings a home to life quite like a fresh coat of paint. As windows are very costly to replace, a stylish, budget-friendly option is to paint them. You can paint Timber and Aluminium windows (inside and outside) to achieve a modern look without having to pay for new ones. You’ll be stunned by how painted windows can completely transform a room.
To avoid the exorbitant cost of replacing your staircase, consider painting it. A fresh coat can make even the most worn-out stairs appear brand new. Before painting, ensure the stairs aren’t too slippery and use a runner to hide any flaws.
Today, it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish electric fireplaces from a gas model. By choosing an electric fireplace, you’ll save upwards of $5,000, as all you need to operate it is a plug. In addition, there are no code requirements, gas line or chimney and it’s much more environmentally friendly.

As a homeowner, one of the most significant dilemmas you will face is deciding whether to stay put and renovate your current home or start fresh with a new home. To help make that decision a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of factors to consider when deciding to renovate or build.
By building a new home in the right area, (such as a new estate or the outskirts of a major city), you may catch the beginning of a price growth cycle.
A major advantage of renovating your existing home is you can accurately measure its price performance over time. This determines the home’s worth over the last few years and allows you to estimate future potential growth.
If you are planning an extensive renovation with a lot of structural changes, it can definitely be cheaper to start from scratch.
While you can measure the potential growth of an existing property, ensure you’re wary of over-capitalizing. While it’s a common belief that spending thousands on a renovation will eventually reap huge rewards, this isn’t always the case.
If you build a flashy house in the street filled with traditional, small homes, for instance, you’ll likely fail to recoup your investment. To avoid this trap, research your local real estate market to understand what existing homes in the area are selling for and the profits which have been made from sales in the past few years.
This is often a deciding factor in whether you choose to renovate, particularly if you have a family. The idea of uprooting your family, leaving behind friends, your local school, neighbors and local amenities, can easily tip the scales in favor of renovation.
However, if your family is growing, or you’re not entirely happy with the area you live in, a new start may be ideal.
Building from scratch might be the more costly option, but it comes with several benefits and can be less restrictive than renovating. New homes are easier to maintain and come with the added peace of mind of a warranty on the construction.
Both renovating and building a new home require a substantial financial commitment.
However, if you have built equity if your current home, it will be easier to juggle a home equity loan to finance the renovations. Keep in mind, though, that a home equity loan will incur closing costs (e.g. appraisals, credit reports and title insurance). Although, what seems like a more affordable option might not always be the best choice when weighed against long-term goals.
Wanting extra space (for a growing family or guests) is a leading factor in wanting a new house. By renovating your existing home, you have two options to expand the space – up or out.
Building a second storey or adding additional rooms to your home may be viable, but there are several factors to consider. First, whether your home’s foundation can support the additional weight. Second, and most importantly, whether local council regulations allow you to renovate.
For more advice on whether you should renovate or build a new home, call or email the experts at Resolve Construction today.
Building a new home is a complex process. Unsurprisingly, there are many ways first home buyers can get caught out. Fortunately, though, by following these five simple steps, you can avoid the most common pitfalls when building your first home.
Your builder estimates the costs of the site works before signing the contract. Unfortunately, some builders deliberately underestimate site works costs to reduce the overall price and secure the deal. Then, after the contract is signed, the buyer learns they have to pay thousands more than allocated to the contract.
To avoid the unnecessary expense and stress, trust Resolve Construction to quote a realistic price for your site works.
Many major building companies overwork their supervisors, often stretching them to manage over 30 building projects at once. This results in supervisors who haven’t had time to manage their tradespeople and control quality.
To ensure your build time does not blow out of proportion and cost thousands more than you envisaged, talk to the experts at Resolve Construction today. Our supervisors will arrange timeframes which fit your needs and ensure the quality of the final product is not compromised.
Some first home buyers make the mistake of choosing a location with poor growth or rental yield prospects. This can dramatically impact your return on investment if you should decide to sell or rent the property in future.
The talented team at Resolve Construction regularly research Gold Coast property market trends. We will sit down with you and discuss the best areas to build in, which will give you the highest return on your investment.
Another common pitfall for first home buyers is being tempted to spend more on the fit-out than necessary. To avoid this trap, think like an investor when choosing fittings for your new home. For instance, only choose expensive fittings if they add value to the property, make the house more durable or will increase its future rental value.
Visiting a display home can be a great source of inspiration. To get the most out of your visit, come armed with the right questions. Ask what the display price does and does not include – flooring, wall paint, high ceilings and air conditioning may be extra! To determine what features are standard and which cost extra, study the specification sheet closely. And, most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for a total price.
If you’d like even more tips on overcoming common first home buyer pitfalls, call or email the talented team at Resolve Construction today. We’ll walk you through the entire process, so you know precisely what you’re paying for.
Building a new home can be one of the most exciting, yet overwhelming times of your life. The most important thing to consider is selecting the right custom home builder. To choose your ideal custom home builder, ask candidates these essential questions.
How Long Have You Been Building in the Area?
Ensure you choose a quality, reputable builder who has been building in your area for at least five years. An experienced builder intimately understands the landscape, storm drainage system, property boundaries and values, building codes, inspections, sewer and water locations, and neighbourhood desirability.
Do You Employ Quality Tradesmen?
A good custom home builder will work with the best tradesmen. The builder and his tradies care about the construction of your new home as if it's their own. They're willing to communicate with you throughout the entire process, and offer informed options and suggestions, allowing you to make quality decisions.
Without a detailed cost break down, the costs of building your new home can spiral out of control. Before going ahead with the build, ensure you clarify everything with your prospective builder. Ensure every detail - from excavating and landscaping, water supply, foundation, exterior and interior walls, and more - is spelled out clearly.
When building a custom home, this is one of the first questions you should ask. Build with us, and you’re only limited by your imagination. We’ll “build” your home on paper first, including all the upgrades and features you desire. From there, we’ll pinpoint the exact cost, so there are no unexpected surprises.
At Resolve Construction, each of our custom home builders is fully licenced and insured. Before starting your project, we will sit down with you and discuss exactly what the insurance covers.
The key to a successful relationship with your builder is open communication. At Resolve Construction, we understand this, so we stay in constant communication with you from the planning stage, until we hand over the keys.
Whether it’s through emails, voicemails or website enquiries, you’ll know exactly what’s happening at every stage of the building process.
This is perhaps the most important question to ask your potential custom home builder. When determining the total cost of your home, we will discuss factors like: surveying, construction plans, insurance, impact fees, insurance fees, tree trimming/removal, fencing and more.
For answers to more vital questions to ask your potential custom home builder, or to start the building process, simply call or email the friendly team at Resolve Construction today.
So, you’ve just built a beautiful home on Queensland’s stunning Gold Coast. With lush landscapes, pristine beaches and stunning views, who could ask for more? If your home is missing that little something extra, here are cost effective ways to add luxury to your Gold Coast home.
One of the simplest ways to introduce luxury into your home is giving each room a focal point. This is a singular point where the lines of the room converge, and where your eye is drawn immediately upon entering.
Choose a focal point by highlighting an existing architectural detail. For example, is there an old fireplace in your living room gathering dust? Perfect. Liven it up by giving it a new mantle. Or, add a window seat to your bay window to amplify its beauty.
Make any room a luxuriousretreat with layered floor coverings. Along with adding decadence, plentiful floor coverings provide an extra layer of padding underfoot, and keep your feet warm during the winter months.
To start with, add a layer of hardwood (or faux works just as well). This coordinates seamlessly with a variety of colour schemes and decorating styles, giving you a solid foundation on which to build the rest of your décor.
Add instant grandeur to any room by incorporating antique pieces into the décor. Choose one or two antique pieces – whether that be a couch, bookcase, lamp, or anything in between – to add a layer of visual intrigue to the space, without clashing with room’s overall style.
If you’re new to antiquing, perhaps start with a mirror to add weight and depth to the room. You can also anchor the room with an armchair, vanity, or even a stylish vase or lamp.
No luxurious space is quite complete without a touch of decadence. Achieve luxurywith ease by introducing stunning gold, silver or bronze accessories into any room.
For maximum impact, choose one colour per room, and incorporate it into accessories for a subtle hint of glamour. Remember, when accessorising, less is more. So, add one or two items per room as statement pieces.
While it’s often the last thing you think of, small touches can make all the difference. The beauty of finishing touches is you’re only limited by your imagination.
Anything from window treatments, to hardware finishes on kitchen cabinetry, or even small plants easily add a touch of class to any room. Simply choose one or two of these final touches to transform any room into a luxurious space.
For even more inspiring ways to add touches of luxury to your Gold Coast home, call or email the talented team at Resolve Construction today.

No matter how small or large your new home is, the need to have more space never goes away. Everyone wants their home to look and feel bigger. . Fortunately, with practical design techniques and clever ways to decorate, you can maximize every inch of space in your new abode.
Here's how you can do it:
An off-white or neutral colour palette can reflect light and make the room brighter. This gives your home a spacious look and feel. Stick with a monochromatic colour scheme as too many colour patterns can make the room feel busy.
Maximise the use of your wall space. In most homes, the walls just become empty, wasted space, when in fact, they have functional and aesthetic purposes.
Some spaces in your home can serve as surprising and unconventional storage spaces.
It is essential to choose the right furniture. It can make or break the look and feel of your new home.
Clutter shrinks the size of the room. It takes up space and disrupts efficiency. It is also difficult to relax when your home is messy and disorganised.
The land you have purchased for your new home may look just like a bare patch today, but in no time at all, your dream home will fill the space ready for you to move in. Knowing what to consider to find the perfect spot will help you make a sound investment decision for your future property.
5 Things To Check Before Buying Land
Your block must be situated in an area that makes sense to you. Your choice of location will largely depend on your current way of life or the lifestyle you are looking for. Consider its proximity to where you work or where your kids go to school. Check if you have access to public transport, local amenities like medical facilities and shops. Everyone's priorities are different, so determine your must-haves.
Consider your basic necessities such as water, gas, and electrical supply. Make sure that there are companies in the area that can provide these utilities to your land. Rates can differ depending on where your new home is located, so take the time to phone these companies for quotes.
Before you make any decisions, research local zoning restrictions on the block that you want to purchase and its surrounding areas. Councils have strict rules regarding what the land can be used for (residential, industrial, commercial).
Find out what industries can legitimately operate in the neighbourhood. Determine whether it could potentially disrupt your lifestyle. For example, if the block next door can be used to build a massive warehouse or other industrial structure, it may not be the best choice if you want a quiet home.
As you research zoning restrictions, you will also find out whether your land is located in a flood zone or whether it can be used to build a highway. Chances are, your developer has selected a residential district for you, if you want to double check, you can always contact the local council.
Soil quality impacts how you build your new home and how you potentially use the soil when you move in. Soil composition can affect the cost of building foundations of your home, amount of earthworks required, structural stability and land retention. We can have our engineer perform a soil test for you.
The orientation of your land will affect the position of your new home. North facing houses maximise the sunlight in winter to keep your house warm. This may mean significant savings on your energy bill.
Check on temperature highs and lows, extreme weather conditions, yearly rainfall and seasonal changes in the area for the past years or so. The climate affects how you insulate your home, how much energy you may expect to use and health conditions that are triggered by temperature. Knowing the climate in the area can help you make a more informed decision and take precautions.
If you are unsure about the block of land you have your eye on for your new home, give us a call and we will help you make the right choice.
Purchasing a new home is an exciting and fulfilling endeavour. Many opt to get a house that's already constructed because the idea of having a custom-built property is too daunting. They think it’s too much work and will cost far more. The reality is, with the help of a talented and reputable custom home builder, the process can be the exact opposite.
A custom home builder can help you create a piece of art that is your home. You can incorporate your personality and address all the needs you may have even before you start living in it.
Reasons To Work With A Custom Home Builder
Right at the very beginning, you can discuss your budget with your custom home builder and how you want your dollars spent. In contrast with buying a cookie-cutter home where you may see features that you don't need, you can decide on the exact kind of house you want.
Instead of hiring out individual professionals, such as designers, painters, contractors, etc., who may even charge you more, working with a custom home builder means that they work with a team of experts who will handle these requirements. They have a proven collaborative work history and can vouch for each others’ quality of work. They can give you their insight into their areas of expertise including cost-effective options available in the market.
Throughout the entire process, you only need to speak with your project manager or builder. You will have access to your contact person to voice your concerns and have them addressed. You don't have to worry about corresponding with multiple parties because the project manager is responsible for liaising with them.
Reputable custom home builders have years of experience working on all types of projects. They can predict and avoid pitfalls that you may otherwise only find out when you move into an already built home. Before you even move-in, they will have sorted out any issues. It can save you time, money and effort on necessary repairs and changes.
They will also use high-quality but cost-effective materials, which result in less maintenance of your home in the long run.
It may sound obvious but, a custom built home is genuinely YOUR home. You may have collaborated with your builder but, the structure is the result of your ideas, your wants and needs. Your wish is their command.
The dedicated project manager will guide you through the process and, ultimately build a home that you can be proud of. They will make sure that you are happy with your custom-built home because their business relies solely on the happiness of their clients.

What could be more exciting than building your new home? Styling it, of course!
Styling is the phase where you can incorporate more of your own personality and lifestyle into your new home. Our Resolve Interior Designer will help you choose your colour scheme so you can get started choosing the décor and furniture to reflect your own artistic tastes. There are a few basic approaches that can help maximise the space and orientation of your home. These tips can also help you get the aesthetic edge that you want.
Tips In Styling Your New Home
Choosing the right colours for your home is crucial because you will build the entire colour palette and decor around it. Since your home should be a place where you feel relaxed and happy, choose shades that will make you feel exactly that. In general, lighter and neutral hues make the room look bigger and brighter.
There's no need to stick with one colour though. You can add 2-3 shades more. Be creative but don't overdo it as too many colours can create a disorganised look.
Your choice of furniture should provide both the functional and decorative elements. Your furniture can be the focal point of your home, especially items that you use all the time such as a couch or dining room table, so invest in good and durable pieces.
Create much-needed space with the right furniture. For low ceilings, for example, it's best to choose low furniture to create height. Consider the flow and orientation of the house when you are placing furniture. You want to make sure it's easy to move around in your home.
A piece of art that you love adds depth and speaks volumes of those living in your home. It can be a beautiful painting, a family portrait, travel memorabilia, anything that adds a unique flair.
A large piece placed in a key position in the home such as the centre of the living room wall can definitely make a statement. It also means that you don't have to add other pieces as it becomes the star of the room.
A great way to add fun and interest to your home is to use patterns and texture. You can use items such as cushions, rugs and throws. Play with them but try to work with one of two similar colour palettes.
Who doesn't like the feel of nature? Indoor plants act as cost-effective decor. Greenery in your home makes the room look larger, feel fresher and lighter, especially if you utilise natural light. Enhance the mood by using unique and interesting pots.
The Resolve Construction team believes that your home should be an expression of your true self. This is why from the initial consultation right through to handover day, we’ll collaborating with every step of the way. And of course, our experienced Interior Designer will guide you through the design process and help you choose a colour palette for your new home – all you’ll need to do is move in and follow our styling tips above to enhance the style of your new home.

When planning on building a property, we often think that it's all about location, location, location... And although this may still hold true, for a while now, there has been an element of the home that appeals to the modern buyer. Today, it's about location and ORIENTATION.
Orientation is the positioning of the structure in relation to seasonal variations in the sun’s path as well as prevailing wind patterns. It is basically the direction a home faces. A good home orientation can significantly improve energy efficiency as it can help reduce the need for mechanical heating and cooling systems, making your home more comfortable to live in and much more affordable to maintain. For this reason alone, many buyers include orientation as part of their checklist before purchasing a property.
Here's A Guide To the Different Directions
NORTH-FACING
Everywhere in Australia, North or North-East facing homes are the most desirable. They are generally ideal in climates requiring winter heat. During winter, the sun shines downward at a 32-degree angle which means that North-facing homes receive more solar radiation than in summer when the angle of the sun is 67 degrees. Because of this, the house can utilise the natural heat and light coming from the sun even during colder months. You also have the option to block out the sun during the hot summer months.
EAST-FACING
You can enjoy lovely sunrises and full sunny mornings in an East oriented home but, it will be over by noon. The house is left cold in the afternoons and evenings. During summer, the morning sun can get uncomfortably warm, and there's not much heat during winter, autumn and spring.
WEST-FACING
The afternoon sun sets in at a nearly horizontal angle at a West-oriented home. This can be unpleasant and uncomfortable especially during summer because the heat becomes even more intense. Awnings and shades won't help much to manage this as they are designed to block sunlight coming from higher angles.
SOUTH-FACING
Feel the cool breezes in summer that usually comes from the South. South-facing homes require no shading as they only receive sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon. Moreover, during winter, the sunlight does not enter a South-oriented house.
Orientation is an element of your home that you have to consider. Based on how you want your home to look and feel, choose the right direction your house faces. This is an essential aspect that you can discuss with your builder.
Resolve Construction will work with you in each step of the building process to ensure that you will be happy with the results. We want you to have a home that is easy to maintain and you can truly live comfortably in. Feel free to CONTACT US so we can help you build your dream home.
