Our Build Journey

A typical new home build journey with Ausmar homes is broken up into 8 easy to follow steps.

The length of time will depend on several factors such as the size of home and whether you’re choosing a house and land package, an existing design or a custom build.
However, we make it an easy 8-step process for all Sunshine Coast homebuilders.
