FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find quick answers to commonly asked First Home Buyer questions.

What is the AUSMAR First Series? The First Series is a range of homes designed to make homeownership more accessible, especially for first home buyers. It offers lower prices, a variety of 20+ modern designs, and a selection of our most popular facades.
Why did AUSMAR create the First Series? We listened to feedback from our customers who were looking for more affordable options. The First Series is our response, providing exceptional value without compromising on quality.
How much can I save with the First Series? The First Series is designed to offer exceptional value. When compared to a similar home with a higher specification, you'll find the savings are quite substantial. It's a smart choice for those looking to maximise their budget. Plus, if you're a first home buyer, you may also be eligible for the Queensland Government First Home Owner Grant, which could save you up to an additional $30,000.
Who is the First Series for? The First Series is primarily aimed at first home buyers on the Sunshine Coast, but we also welcome first home buyers in Gympie and northern Brisbane.
Can anyone buy a First Series home? Yes, any retail customer can purchase a home design from the First Series collection. However, it's specifically tailored to meet the needs of first home buyers. 
What designs are included in the First Series? We offer 20 home designs, including single-storey, double-storey, and acreage options. You can find a complete list of home designs and the inclusions here. 
What's my first steps to building a home?

Start by determining your budget and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you a clear idea of what you can afford. Then, start researching different neighbourhoods and builders to find the best fit for your needs.

What are the available governments grants?

There are several government grants and assistance programs available. Our team can help you navigate these options and determine your eligibility. Learn more here

How much deposit do I need?

The deposit amount varies depending on the lender and your financial situation. Generally, you'll need at least 5% of the purchase price. However, a larger deposit can potentially help you secure a better interest rate and may reduce your loan repayments.

What are the different home loan options?

There are various home loan options, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and split loans. Our team can put you in touch with finance experts who can explain the different loans and find the best one for your first home needs.

How long does it take to build a new home?

The construction timeline varies depending on the size, inclusions and complexity of the home. Generally, it takes anywhere between 5 and 12 months to build a standard new home.

What's the pre-construction process?

The pre-construction process includes selecting your block of land, choosing your house design, signing your building contract and finalising your colour selections. Our team will guide you through each step.

What's a 'turnkey' package?

A turnkey package includes everything you need to move into your new home, from the build itself to simple landscaping, fencing, and window coverings. It's a hassle-free option for first home buyers.

How do I choose the right builder?

Look for a builder with a strong reputation, experience in building quality homes, and a commitment to customer service. We recommend reading online reviews and testimonials, visiting display homes, and talking to past clients.

What are the ongoing costs?

In addition to your mortgage repayments, you'll need to budget for council rates, water and sewerage charges (acreage), termite inspections, building insurance, and ongoing maintenance.

Are there any stamp duty concessions?

You can claim a first home concession for transfer (stamp) duty when acquiring your first residence if you meet certain requirements.

We recommend visiting the Queensland Revenue Office to learn more.

What facades can I choose from? The First Series features our four most popular facades: Essential, Coastal, Modern, and Hamptons. 
Can I make changes to the floor plan? To maintain the pricing of the First Series, structural changes to the floor plan are not permitted. However, designs can be flipped to best suit your block orientation.
What customisation options are available? While structural changes are not allowed, you can choose from a range of upgrades, including:
  • Up to 5 standard electrical upgrades (e.g., additional fans).
  • Up to 5 standard cabinetry upgrades (e.g., changing cupboards to drawers).
Can I combine the First Series with other promotions? No, the First Series cannot be combined with other promotions.

TESTIMONIALS

“Our experience with AUSMAR to design our house has been nothing short of fabulous! Johan was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process always doing everything he could to make our vision come to life. Therese does such an amazing job at keeping us in the loop which is so important to us since we currently live in a different state and Rebecca made our colour selections day so enjoyable and we breezed through it with all her knowledge and support. I couldn’t recommend the AUSMAR team more 6/5 stars for sure!”

“I am at the start of my very first build. The sales process with Ian was very smooth, he was able to answer all the questions I had and help me to choose a design that suited my needs. Ben and Janine have both gone above and beyond to provide me with information and to help guide me through the process, due to it being my first build I have had lots of questions and things that I’m not sure on. I’m very excited to continue this process with AUSMAR, it has been a great experience so far and I can’t wait to see the finished results.”

Ian has met and exceeded all our expectations in regard to customer service and has given us the confidence to choose AUSMAR as our home builder.”

“As first-time builders on the Sunshine Coast, we spent a significant period of time meeting with a number of builders and sales consultants to find a builder that we could trust with building our home. Our initial enquiries were answered by Andrew Shand at AUSMAR Homes whilst he was on leave, which we were not expecting, but was a great first impression. We met with Andrew on a number of occasions during which he talked to us, without the sales spin, of what could be achieved. Nothing was ever too hard for Andrew; he listened to what our needs were and came up with innovative and cost-effective solutions to create a unique home. Andrew continued to work with us well after we had signed and paid our deposit. We cannot speak highly enough of Andrew and recommend that if you are looking for a consultant that goes above and beyond for you, head down to the terrace home in Nirimba.”

We would like to thank everybody involved in helping us design our dream home. Our site manager Daniel, has been fantastic, he maintained communication throughout the build, ensured the build continued as much as possible even when there were delays with materials/ tradies, we really can’t thank him enough.”

“Very happy with the overall experience, in particular once construction commenced the whole process began to take shape and true meaning. Special call out to Josh the Construction Supervisor and Janine the Construction Customer Liaison Officer for their promptness in dealing with any and all my enquiries, plus keeping me informed at each and every stage of the build process. Nothing was too much trouble and as a client I was always made to feel important. Josh made sure the quality of the build was first class and ensured there was no slippage in build quality even when nearing completion. Given the building industry challenges at present, I was also pleasantly surprised by the timeliness of the whole construction process once plans were approved. All the little details were taken care of signifying a level of professionalism, consideration and care that is first class. I would highly recommend AUSMAR Homes and thank the whole team for the build experience which was seamless from beginning to end. Well, done!”

He is easy the most pleasant and courteous person we’ve ever dealt with. The building process was constant and each week you could see the progress, if one thing was held up, he would continue on with something else. Thanks Kevin Tony and Julie Corman.”

“I could not recommend building with AUSMAR highly enough. I attained my land and began my build process in the midst of covid, which ordinarily would have been very stressful. However, AUSMAR was super transparent with expected timelines and the potential delays that were out of their control. Daniel was always available, from start to finish, to assist with inquiries. He was patient and very helpful when it came to any variations - a brilliant project manager. Thanks, AUSMAR!”

They listened to any concerns we had throughout the process and were always very reassuring. We appreciated the transparency around timeframes and the weekly updates helped us feel involved throughout the whole build. Even with a few trade/supply delays we were in within the estimated timeframe. Special thank you to Andrew in sales for helping us get almost everything within our budget, Rebecca from colour selection for making our vision come to life, Daniel our site supervisor for treating our home like his own and Janine for being so lovely and making sure we go in on time. We would definitely build with AUSMAR again!”

“In the process of building a house with AUSMAR and as a total noob builder, so far the process has been amazing! Ian was my sales consultant who helped me customize my house and gave recommendations based on experience and his ability to adapt to his customers’ needs which was super. Bec was my colour consultant who within half an hour knew the theme I was going for and was able to recommend colours and options accurately and efficiently without any fuss. My consultant is Therese who is also amazing, communicating with me on a down to earth level knowing I'm a complete noob in the industry and letting me know what information the company needs in a timely manner and being very knowledgeable in regards to the process. 5 starts so far for all involved! Now if the house falls down after it's built, I'm blaming you, Ian! Haha. Keep up the good work guys!”

“I am currently in the middle of my build journey with AUSMAR Homes with construction to take place later this year. At this point in time, I cannot find fault in anything they've done. Between my Sales Consultant Ian Sullivan (who has been honest and upfront with everything), Therese (my Client Liaison Officer) and Sandi (colour/design expert), they have all made me feel comfortable and provided their knowledge and expertise when called upon. It's fantastic to have people like that on my side when I'm in the middle of the biggest investment decision of life. In addition, the eight-step Build Journey has really helped simplify things for me and the team are more than happy to explain things further if needed. While my house isn't due to commence construction until late October (due to the developer, not AUSMAR), I have full confidence I will have a fantastic, finished product once the keys are handed over. Watch this space as I'll happily give another review once handover is complete!”

“I am currently in the process of building a home with AUSMAR. The whole process so far from dealing with Ian in getting the right plans and making some small alterations to then actually building the property has been so good. I really love the app they use to communicate and upload photos of my house as they build it. The build is happening quickly, and everything is thorough up to this point. I can highly recommend based on my experience.”

“We're so excited to embark on our home building journey with AUSMAR! Even though construction hasn't commenced yet, our experience thus far has been nothing short of exceptional. Their process is incredibly well-structured and professional, with meticulous attention to every detail, giving us great confidence in what's to come. What truly sets them apart though is their amazing team. Andrew, in particular, has been an absolute Godsend. He has patiently guided us through the complexities of planning our first home, always available to answer our endless questions and help us navigate the many decisions involved. He's been a fantastic sounding board for our ideas, offering valuable insights and ensuring we feel supported every step of the way. We truly believe we wouldn't be building our dream home without his expertise and dedication. If you're looking for a builder who combines professionalism with a personal touch, look no further than AUSMAR. And if you're lucky enough to have Andrew on your team, you'll be in the best hands possible. We can't wait to see what the future holds and highly recommend AUSMAR to anyone looking to build their dream home!”

I have never owned a home in Australia let alone built one, but Johan made the process for me so easy and walked me through the early stages of the built. I have to add that he has been very patient with me because I kept changing my mind on many things! The colour selection with Sandi was fun and she helped with some colour dilemmas. I am now waiting for the house built to start in March, saying that I can't wait to turn that key and walk in my new home is an understatement!

“From the very first interaction with the sales team through to hand over, the experience of building with AUSMAR was as close to perfect as it gets. The most outstanding aspect of AUSMAR is the time they took to listen to my requirements and the level of communication throughout especially with their app. They delivered exactly what they promised. The final build quality is fantastic. The site manager makes or breaks a build and Brendan was superb. We had an independent inspector through each stage of the build and AUSMAR worked with him to ensure everything was perfect. The inspector couldn’t find fault in the way AUSMAR work and communicate.”

“We have built two houses in the past with other builders, but this time we have chosen AUSMAR for a number of reasons. From our initial enquiry and ongoing contact with House and Land Consultant, Johan Lundkvist, to communications with other AUSMAR staff, and meeting with Building Manager, Tony on our site to discuss build options specific to our land, we have experienced awesome customer service, total transparency on cost, quick response times, a willingness to adapt and accommodate our wishes and ideas, and a professional 'can do' attitude. We have also just had the 'Colour Selection' appointment with Designer, Rebecca Weston which was amazing and far exceeded our experiences previously. My wife and I are absolutely impressed with our AUSMAR experience and honestly, cannot fault the team and the product they offer. Finally, our House and Land Consultant, Johan Lundkvist has been exceptional - he is warm, genuine, knowledgeable and professional. He has never said 'No', rather he listens, offers advice and says, "I will look into that, we will try to make that happen". Not only does he get back to us quickly on a possible design change idea, but the answer is mostly 'Yes, we can make that happen' or he suggests something even better (that may even cost less). We feel absolutely acknowledged and included in this build process with AUSMAR and that's why they get 5 stars from us.”

Johan especially worked closely with us to make our wishlist come true and at such great value and quality, we cannot wait to move into our GORGEOUS Narrabeen home thanks to AUSMAR, truly can’t imagine going with anyone else and we will 100% be building our future homes with them also!
