What Is New Home Construction?

New home construction involves building a completely new residence on vacant land or a cleared site. Unlike buying an existing home, building from the ground up gives you complete control over the layout, design, finishes and features.

At In2Homes Construction, we understand that every family has different needs. That’s why every home we build is tailored to suit your block, lifestyle and vision while complying with Victorian building regulations and energy efficiency requirements.

Whether you already have architectural plans or need assistance designing your dream home, our experienced team can guide you through the entire process.

What Our Clients Say

We couldn't be happier with our new home in Wantirna South. The In2Homes team made the whole process straightforward and easy to understand — from our first meeting through to handover. The quality of the finish exceeded our expectations, and our project manager was always just a phone call away. We'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for Melbourne home builders who genuinely care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Melbourne Home Building

The cost to build a custom home in Melbourne typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,500+ per square metre, depending on:

  • Home size
  • Level of finishes and specifications
  • Site conditions
  • Design complexity

Single-storey homes generally cost less per square metre than double-storey homes.

At In2Homes, we provide a fully transparent fixed-price contract once your design is finalised, so you’ll know the exact cost before construction begins.

A typical custom home build in Melbourne takes approximately 9–18 months from contract signing to practical completion.

Design & Approvals Phase: 3–6 months
Construction Phase: 6–12 months

Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Extensions and renovations are generally completed faster than new home builds.

We provide a detailed construction programme at the beginning of every project to help you plan with confidence.

In most cases, yes.

A building permit is usually required for:

  • Structural works
  • Extensions
  • Alterations that change the footprint of your home

Some minor works, such as:

  • Internal painting
  • Cosmetic updates
  • Non-structural fit-outs

may be exempt.

In2Homes manages the entire permit application process on your behalf, making the process simple and stress-free.

A knockdown rebuild involves demolishing your existing home and constructing a brand-new home on the same block of land.

In Melbourne’s established suburbs, where land is highly valuable and suitable properties are limited, a knockdown rebuild can often be more cost-effective than buying and relocating.

Benefits include:

  • Keeping your preferred location
  • Staying close to schools and amenities
  • Retaining neighbourhood connections
  • Enjoying a modern, energy-efficient home
  • Creating a design tailored to your lifestyle

A Design and Construct (D&C) contract means that one company—In2Homes—is responsible for both:

  • Designing your home
  • Constructing your home

under a single fixed-price contract.

This approach:

  • Simplifies communication
  • Reduces delays and misunderstandings
  • Creates a streamlined process
  • Provides a single point of accountability throughout the project

In2Homes is fully licensed with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).

All domestic building work over $16,000 in Victoria is covered by Domestic Building Insurance (DBI), which protects homeowners against incomplete or defective work.

We also provide statutory warranties under the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995:

  • 10 years for structural defects
  • 2 years for non-structural defects

Yes.

Our team regularly works on sloping and challenging sites across Melbourne, particularly in the eastern and inner suburbs.

We collaborate with:

  • Structural engineers
  • Geotechnical consultants

to design homes that respond intelligently to site conditions and often transform challenging topography into a standout design feature.
