Building a new home? Here’s how to make it simpler

May 5, 2025 BY

Discover how Metricon’s house and land packages in regional Victoria simplify the building process from start to finish.

For many Australians, building a home feels like a natural next step. It gives you more control over how you want to live and often means fewer compromises than buying an existing place. While it takes time, the result is a space that fits your lifestyle from the start.

In regional Victoria, building is also becoming a more practical choice. With support from Metricon, Australia’s leading home builder, more people are finding clear and manageable ways to plan their build. 

If you’re thinking about building, here are a few ways to make the process feel simpler.

Start with a fixed-price package

One of the biggest concerns for first-time home builders is cost. A fixed-price package can help take the pressure off your budget. You know exactly what you’re paying for upfront, including the home, land, and site costs.

With a home and land package, you’re not constantly adjusting your plans to stay on budget. This makes it easier to plan ahead and avoid unexpected costs.

Get land and design in one go

Finding a block of land that suits your lifestyle is one thing. Making sure your chosen home fits that block is another. Doing both separately can be time-consuming.

With a house and land package, that step is already done for you. The block and home design are matched from the start, which means less decision-making on your end and fewer delays getting started.

Choose a home that’s ready to build

Instead of spending months comparing layouts, inclusions and sizes, a home and land package in Regional Victoria that’s already suited to the block can help you get started sooner. These homes have been planned with local conditions, council guidelines and block dimensions in mind.

You still have options to personalise, but the major decisions are already in place. It’s a practical way to streamline your build while still getting a place that suits your lifestyle.

Use available grants to save more

If you’re a first home buyer, building could give you access to government grants or stamp duty savings. These incentives can reduce upfront costs and improve your ability to secure finance, especially if you’re working within a set budget.

Packages often come with set pricing, which helps you understand what you’re paying and what you’re eligible for. While land and build are usually covered by separate contracts, the process can still feel more straightforward when you’re working with one team. This is especially true with options from HomeSolution by Metricon, designed to suit different budgets, block sizes and regional planning needs.
