The cost of building a new home varies depending on the home design, size, façade, inclusions, upgrades, land and site-specific requirements.
Orbit Homes offers a range of home designs at different price points across Victoria and Queensland. Browse our current home designs and house and land packages online, or speak with our team for pricing based on the type of home and location you're considering.
Orbit Homes includes a range of quality features, fixtures and finishes as standard through our Dream Inclusions, giving you more included from the start.
The exact inclusions depend on the home and collection you choose, so it's important to review the current inclusions alongside your home price. You can also personalise your home with available upgrades and options.
Always review the inclusions, quotation and building documentation for your particular home so you understand what is and isn't included.
Site costs are expenses associated with preparing your particular block of land and adapting the home to its site conditions.
They can be influenced by factors such as soil conditions, slope, excavation, rock, drainage, services and other site-specific building requirements. Site investigations help determine what work will be required before construction.
Every block is different. Factors that can affect site costs include the slope and contours of the land, soil classification, rock, excavation requirements, retaining requirements, drainage, service connections and site access.
Planning, developer and other site-specific requirements can also influence the work required to build your home.
Fixed site cost arrangements may be available depending on the Orbit Homes product, location, land and current offer. Your New Home Sales Professional will explain the site cost arrangements that apply to your chosen home and block as part of your quotation.
Rock can affect the excavation and preparation required for a new home's foundations. If rock is identified or encountered, the impact will depend on the site conditions, the amount and type of excavation required and the terms of your building agreement.
Orbit Homes may offer fixed-price rock removal arrangements for eligible builds, subject to current terms and conditions.
Yes, Orbit Homes offers fixed-price rock removal and excavation arrangements for eligible builds, subject to location, site conditions and the applicable terms and conditions.
Eligibility, pricing and exclusions differ between Victoria and Queensland, so check the current offer for your build location or speak with an Orbit Homes New Home Sales Professional.
Standard inclusions are the fixtures, finishes and features included in the standard price of your chosen home and collection.
These can include items across areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, appliances and internal and external finishes. The exact inclusions vary by collection and product, so refer to the current inclusions applicable to your chosen Orbit home.
Yes. Depending on your chosen home and collection, you'll have opportunities to personalise your home with available upgrades, finishes and options.
Your available selections are discussed during the home selection and Design Studio appointment so you can make choices that suit your style, lifestyle and budget.
There isn't one upgrade budget that suits every home buyer. The amount you choose to spend will depend on what's already included in your home and which additional finishes, fixtures or design options are important to you.
Before making selections, consider which upgrades will have the greatest impact on how you use your home and set a comfortable overall budget for optional changes.
A variation is an agreed change to your building contract or contracted works. It may relate to a requested change, selection or other adjustment and can affect the price or timing of your build.
Any variation should be documented and agreed in accordance with your building contract.
This is supported by the terminology in your existing customer FAQ material.
The circumstances in which your building price may change depend on your contract, land status, site requirements and any changes or selections you make.
Orbit Homes also periodically offers price-hold arrangements for eligible customers. Always refer to your quotation, contract and current offer terms for the pricing conditions that apply to your build.
If you're building on untitled land, the timing of land registration can affect how long it is before construction can commence.
Any price-hold period or price adjustment that applies will depend on the terms of your Orbit Homes agreement and current offer. Your New Home Sales Professional can explain the applicable pricing conditions when you're considering building on untitled land.
Orbit Homes offers price protection arrangements for eligible customers from time to time, helping provide greater certainty while preparing for construction.
The length of the price hold, eligibility requirements and any conditions vary by state and current offer, so refer to the applicable terms and conditions for your build.
Each Orbit Homes design has façade options, and the price will depend on the façade selected. Some façade styles, materials and finishes may involve an additional cost.
Façade images may also show upgraded items or features that aren't included as standard, so check the façade information and quotation for your selected home.
When planning your overall budget, consider costs beyond the house itself. Depending on your circumstances, these may include land, finance and conveyancing costs, optional home upgrades and items outside your building contract such as landscaping, fencing and some external works.
What's included varies between homes and packages, so review your quotation and inclusions carefully and allow for the costs you'll need to organise separately.
