Base Price vs Inclusions
When comparing builders, it’s important to look beyond the “starting from” price. The base price usually covers the essentials of the home’s structure and standard finishes, but may not include everything you’ll want for a move-in-ready home.
At Crystele Homes, our homes come with comprehensive inclusions — meaning many of the features others charge extra for are already part of your build. Our aim is to make budgeting simple and transparent from day one.
Typical inclusions can cover:
- Quality flooring and tiles.
- Kitchen appliances and stone benchtops.
- Driveways and outdoor finishes.
- Lighting, electrical, and internal fittings.
Factoring in Site Works, Approvals and Upgrades
Every block is unique, so costs can vary based on:
- Site works: such as excavation, retaining, and slab requirements.
- Approvals: including council lodgement, compliance certificates, and energy ratings.
- Upgrades: like façade selections, premium finishes, or outdoor living additions.
A clear, itemised cost breakdown early in the process helps you make confident decisions and avoid surprises later. Crystele Homes provides that clarity from the start, so you always know where your investment is going.
