Latest tips from Newin
How Much Does It Cost to Build in Melbourne?
It’s not just the price of land which can impact the value of the home, but other variables can affect construction costs as well. In Australia, an average lot size is 251.7 sqm, which means that the average building costs will come in at around $320,000 when you consider the average of $1,270.80 per sqm.
The average price can provide a ball-park figure for most suburban homes, but when you add architectural design into the pricing, the value can jump to $3,000 per sqm, and often goes all the way to up to well over $5,000 per sqm.
