Investors
There are many benefits to building an investment property, particularly in the highly sought after housing estates that we operate in. With RIBA Homes you can purchase a house and land package and we'll handle the entire process from preparing the plans to building the home and applying the finishes, and you can choose to have as much or as little say as you wish. When you build a property, as opposed to purchasing a house, the entire project is brand new which is both highly appealing to potential tenants as well as minimising risk for maintenance costs that could pop up with any pre-existing home. Enjoy the ease and simplicity of building a turn-key home with RIBA Homes!
Building & Buying Process
When you build a RIBA Home you get our trademark personal service and attention to detail. In the pre-construction process, we can create a concept plan that provides an indication of what your home build could look like with RIBA. When you are happy and ready to move forward we will work through the plans with our drafting department, give you the tools to select your colours and customisation as well as finalise electrical plans. We will then commence all certification work and lodge your plans for approval, meaning you do not have to manage the grunt work. Once this is complete the fun can begin - construction of your dream home!
