WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN BUILDING A NEW HOME

Building a new home involves many moving parts, from land selection and design approvals through to construction and final handover. At R3 Construction, we work closely with our clients throughout each stage so there are no surprises along the way. We believe that an informed client is a confident one, which is why we take the time to explain each phase of the build, outline what decisions need to be made and give honest guidance on materials, timelines and costs.


Our new home builds are designed around the way you actually want to live. That means thinking carefully about room orientation for natural light and passive solar design, planning practical storage, considering the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces and selecting finishes that reflect your personal style without blowing the budget.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING A LICENSED BUILDER

In the ACT, all residential building work above a certain value must be carried out by a licensed builder. R3 Construction holds all required licences, insurances and job access certificates, so you can be confident that your new home is being built to the standards required by law and by our own high expectations. We also carry out work that complies with the National Construction Code, ensuring your home is safe, structurally sound and built to endure.

NEW HOMES BUILT FOR THE CANBERRA CLIMATE

Building a home that performs well in this environment means thinking carefully about insulation, glazing, orientation and ventilation. R3 Construction draws on local experience to help clients make practical decisions that improve comfort and reduce energy costs over the life of the home.
