Traditional Homes

Traditional homes can include existing character homes that are on sale, or newer, yet traditional-style homes that may come in house and land packages. With an established home, this often means that you can move in as soon as contracts and other legal requirements have been completed/fulfilled and approved, allowing you to enjoy your new home as soon as possible!

However, this also means that you’re unable to customise the house as you wish before you move in. Any renovations or upgrades will have to be done after you have already moved in.

Design & Build

Meanwhile, a design and build service involves the design and construction of a completely new home, which can take weeks to months until it’s complete. Nonetheless, with this type of service, you’re able to customise and design your home as you desire, with an expert team by your side to offer sound advice and guidance throughout the entire process.

From the design to construction, the DW Homes team can take the stress out of building your home from the ground up, allowing you to enjoy the process and watch as we turn your vision into reality.

Which is Better?

Choosing between traditional homes and design and build can be difficult, but it’s important to remember your budget and preferences. While traditional homes are less time-consuming and less expensive, only design and build homes offer the customisation options that you can take advantage of.

DW Homes offers both traditional turnkey homes and design and build services that can help you bring your dream home to life. No matter which path you choose, rest assured that the team at DW Homes can be by your side every step of the way. Book a consultation by getting in touch with us today to speak with our experts.
