Be best prepared for your building journey as we explore what to consider before and during your display home tours so you can get the most out of them. 

BEFORE YOU VISIT A DISPLAY HOME

Before jumping in the car to visit one of our eight display homes across Tassie, there are some important things to consider.

RESEARCH BUILDERS

Taking your first step of choosing your home builder is extremely important having to take in a number of considerations including how long they’ve been in the business; build quality; customer service; inclusions and financial stability.
When you build with Wilson Homes you can be guaranteed that your dream home is in good hands, and with 35 years in the business and supported by the NEX Building Group, we will partner with you through every stage and milestone throughout the building process.

CONSIDER YOUR BUDGET

While it’s not essential, it is ideal to start investigating your home building budget before visiting a display home. This will allow you to manage your expectations from the very beginning of your home building journey. There is a lot of things to think about when building your own home and the stress of sorting out your finance needn't be one of them when you build with Wilson Homes.

MAKE A CHECKLIST

Making a checklist of the features, specifications and inclusions you want the most. Many of our display homes feature virtual tours, which can take you room by room to give you an idea of Wilson Homes before even setting foot in a display home.

ASK OUR BUILDING & DESIGN CONSULTANTS QUESTIONS

Our Building & Design Consultants at our displays are here to help you and ensure you are confident in the choices you make for your new home and throughout your entire home building journey. There is no such thing as a silly question so don’t hesitate to ask your Building & Design Consultant as many as possible from assistance with finding land or financing to learning more about inclusions, promotions and upgrades - they are there to lend a helping hand.

DISCUSS OUR INCLUSIONS

To help you keep track of the costs of the display home you are interested in, don’t just look at the base price of the home build. Ensure you ask your Building & Design Consultant what is included in that price as another builder may be marginally cheaper however, not have the standard inclusions another builder has.

GET A VIBE

Above looking out for features and inclusions, you should also be mindful of the overall feel when touring a display home. Take your time walking through the rooms and envision your life in the home.  It is important to remember when walking through a display home you’re purchasing the floor plan and not the accompanying style e.g., Costal, Global etc. Every single detail for your new home from paint colours to door handles are personalised when you get to the MyChoice Design Studio
