Building a new home
Building a new home means you aren’t going to be living with someone else’s choices, but it can be a big project, which needs careful management. Here’s how the process works.
Here's how Stephen and Kylie built their forever home
Stephen and Kylie dreamed of building the perfect family home. Here’s how, with a little help from Greater Bank, they’re working to make that happen.
Stephen and Kylie
They want to build their forever home
Hard work and seeking advice has rewards. Both Stephen and Kylie want to give their kids options they didn’t have and want the creature comforts of a true family home. They had to change builders because of hidden building costs, but we kept our rate the same so they knew what they could bank on.
It does make me proud. It’s what we work for.
Stephen and Kylie bought land and enjoyed planning their perfect home together with their kids. The children joined in planning their own rooms and picking colours and finishes.
With the addition of a second story and plenty of bedroom space, they’re all looking forward to moving into their new home soon.
Before the build started however, it wasn't always plain sailing - that’s where their story gets interesting…
