One of the easiest and least stressful ways to buy a new home is through building packages.
Brightlife Properties has a wide variety of packages available for any desirable suburb. Our expert property teams match stands/ERFs to our most popular home designs to ensure that your new home has the perfect orientation and ideal layout.
What is a building package?
A building package allows a buyer to secure a stand and the construction of a new home in one process, with two contracts. These packages are popular because of the security they bring. You have transparency over the combined price of the home and land from the outset, which helps with budgeting and gives you certainty about how your new home will look.
Pros and cons of a building package
Building packages suit many families, especially if you’re new to building and want a home designed in a specified way. It is important to understand what is involved in the packages to make sure it’s the right choice for you and your lifestyle.

Cost of a Building Package
When buying a building package through Brightlife Properties, it’s good to know there are two elements to the purchase and each includes a separate contract. The first contract is for the land only, while the second is for the house. Each is financed separately, however one package.
The building package price is your starting point and a good way to compare builders on price – however, you need to have a close look at the finishes. Many builders offer a low price to prospective clients and exclude some basic elements. So, it’s a good idea to examine the small print before you go further and make sure you are comparing like with like. At Brightlife Properties we include everything you need to build your house in our all-inclusive* pricing, so there are no unexpected costs.
If you need finance to secure your new home, we can also help through various Bond originators we use, who are experts in the unique challenges of building packages.
