Helpful answers
Questions about building a home in Melbourne.
How do I start planning a custom home in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs?
Begin with your suburb, property details, household needs and an indication of timing. UC Build can discuss the brief and help identify the next steps to investigate. Detailed design, approvals, engineering and pricing are scoped separately.
Can I choose French Provincial, Hamptons or contemporary design?
These styles are starting points for a design conversation. The final brief should suit the block, planning controls, household needs, budget and consultant advice.
Do you discuss duplexes, townhouses and dual occupancy homes?
Yes. Site yield, access, planning and servicing should be assessed before a project outcome is assumed.
What happens at the first consultation?
The first conversation is complimentary and helps clarify your site, priorities and next questions. Detailed design, approvals, engineering and pricing require an agreed scope.
Can I discuss a sloping block, basement or heritage rebuild?
Yes. These projects need early attention to levels, excavation, access, drainage, overlays and retained features.
Is the first UC Build Homes consultation free?
Yes. The initial consultation is complimentary and is an opportunity to discuss your property, priorities and possible next steps. Any detailed feasibility, design, approvals, engineering or pricing work requires an agreed scope.
How do the upgrade offer and design-fee credit work?
UC Build advertises up to $15,000 in upgrade value and a 60% design-fee credit, subject to eligibility, timing and current written terms. Where applicable, the credit is toward a new home build when the building contract is signed. Ask UC Build for the current written offer terms.
