Interior Designer, Nikkayla, and Luke, a carpenter, know a thing or two about a quality home. Having experience building two other homes and careers in the industry, they’ve seen the best and worst in standards and workmanship. So, when it came time for the married couple to build their third home in their hometown of Bendigo, they knew exactly what to look for.
‘We love the process of building and being able to create a home that suits our needs and style from the very beginning,’ says Nikkayla.
‘We were both born and raised in Bendigo, so it’s always been home. We love the country feel and easy access to shops, schools, and parks as well as the 2-hour drive from Melbourne.’
After securing a half-acre block of land in Huntly close to friends and family and just a 10-minute drive from Bendigo’s town centre, the couple went looking for a home builder. They discovered Boutique Homes on social media and quickly did their due diligence by visiting the display home circuit in both Geelong and Melbourne.
In the end, the standard inclusions and the beautiful styling and workmanship of the display homes sealed the deal for Nikkayla and Luke.
‘We knew from experience how quickly upgrades could add up. Knowing that all of our must-haves were included as standard allowed us to stay within budget and offered us peace of mind,’ explains Nikkayla ‘I’d suggest all new home builders create a wish list from the outset – it definitely helped us!’
Looking back at their experience with the team, Nikkalya has only great things to say. ‘Our New Homes Consultant was really understanding of our needs in the initial planning phase, and our Customer Experience Coordinator was another great contact point throughout our build.’
