How To Check The Construction Quality Of Display Homes In Perth

Experiencing how a design comes to life in display homes (Perth) will help you get a true feel for how a builder’s concepts translate into reality. Yet while atmosphere and flow is important, it is crucial that you are also aware that workmanship standards vary from builder to builder.

While some display homes in Perth may look impressive through quality finishes, the reality is that this can hide a multitude of sins. Quality can be the difference between realising your dream home and getting caught up in a homebuilding nightmare, so it is important to be able to identify quality construction in person.

Here are some key signs to look out for to help you identify which display homes in Perth represent quality construction.

Wall thickness

Thick wall construction is a sure sign that extra time and money has been poured into a solid build. Ask the rep at each display home (Perth) to give you wall thickness measurements. If you have access to the builder’s layout plan, it should be mentioned there.

Brands

Don’t simply take the builder’s word for it – note the brands of the appliances, fixtures, fittings and building materials (including insulation) and undertake some research to determine whether or not these brands are reputable.

Finishes

While some builders will often put extra effort into quality finishes purely to mask other construction deficiencies, it still pays to compare. Observe the quality of finishes such as plaster, tiles and paints so you can get a feel for a standard.

Well-fitting doors and windows

A builder who is willing to sacrifice quality for cost-efficiency will likely spend less time ‘squaring’, leaving a home with poorly fitted doors and window frames. If you can see any signs of a rushed job, construction quality has suffered.

Roof framing spacing

There are minimum standards for roof frame spacing. Ask the reps to confirm which display homes in Perth meet or exceed this standard.

Insulation

The best builders will go to great lengths to insulate the floors, ceilings, and walls. Ask the display home rep what grade of insulation is used and by which brand.

Noisy floors
Improperly secured floorboards aren’t easily hidden. If they make squeaky sounds as you walk over them, then the workmanship is of a poor quality.
