Finding your ideal home often comes down to weighing your heart with your head and it was no different for medical professionals and Boutique customers Renee and Bernard.

Together with their two daughters, Ava and Sienna, the busy pair spent many-a-weekend collecting inspiration from Melbourne’s display homes, always envisioning their knockdown rebuild project would end up in the hands of an architect.

That was until they found ‘The One’.

‘The moment we stepped into Boutique’s Grange we loved it! We loved the expansive entryway with high ceilings and the open plan living with separate living spaces for our family. Once we walked into the master bedroom, we knew it was for us,’ says Renee.

‘It also came down to budget. We felt it ticked most of our wants and needs and the inclusions we got for the cost just didn’t compare to a private builder for the same size home.’

How to select the perfect nest

While the knockdown rebuild took a little longer to complete than first anticipated, Renee says seeing the scaffolding come down to reveal the couple’s beautiful new Alpha façade and lush interiors made the whole journey worthwhile.

When choosing a builder, Renee says being pragmatic about how you will use the space is as important as choosing a design that makes your heart sing.

‘Visit display homes, make comparisons and know what inclusions are part of your base price, so you can consider what upgrades can be worked into your budget,’ she says.

‘Choose a layout that not only suits your block but also suits your lifestyle and how you plan to live in your home.’

 

 

Dream designs

Similar to many customers, Bernie and Renee leaned on the Boutique online family for inspiration and support throughout their build. Just one look at their Instagram account @the.house.at.no.37 and you can see it paid dividends.

Far from a fan of clutter, Renee describes her style as minimal contemporary, with classic white, black and grey furnishings, broken up with splashes of greenery and earthy feature artworks.

‘The #ourboutiquehome social community is a wealth of knowledge. Everyone is more than happy to answer questions relating to their build or give opinions when asked,’ says Renee, who found her new Insta-friends particularly helpful when making colour selections and answering build concerns she had on the fly.

 

Renee’s top two tips for creating your ideal aesthetic?

  • Find your inspiration: Go to display homes and scour Pinterest and Instagram before making your colour selections. Follow other people’s build journeys, particularly Boutique clients, and consistently ask questions! People are always more than happy to help.
  • Consider neutral colours: Particularly in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom, which can be expensive to update later. Neutral colours are much less likely to date!

Glad We have chosen Boutique Homes

Building home as a first home owner is like a dream. We visited all display homes, looked at inclusions, quality of products that are being used. But we could not find a match for Boutique. It excelled on our graph of customer satisfaction, tailoring according to our needs. Special thanks to Morgan (new home consultant), who is the first among all the reasons behind us choosing Boutique. We started with some other plan and ended with something completely different. But Morgan listened to us, to our dreams. No doubt there are many other competing builders, we visited the majority of them. But Boutique was the one for us. Luckily we found the one.

I must say after meeting other sales consultants from 2 other renowned builders at the moment in the market that Boutique is lucky to have a consultant like Morgan. She went far and beyond to assist us. I got health professional discount on our base price which gave us room for more upgrades while sticking to our budget. Our meeting was extended for long due to changes to our plan. But Morgan helped us to get everything fixed and upfront with 100% transparency, no hidden costs.

We are super excited for next steps. Initial paperwork done. Looking forward to our color appointments. I would highly recommend first home builders and owners to visit and browse their display homes and you will see the great difference in quality of things they use in their standard inclusion compared to others.

Excellent customer service from Boutique Homes in Ballarat

My wife and I have just signed up to build with Boutique Homes in Ballarat. So far we have been very impressed with the responsiveness, professionalism and flexibility. To be honest, I was a bit sceptical about such things with volume builders, but to date, Boutique have proved me wrong. A huge shout out to James Belsar, the Ballarat New Homes Consultant—an all round lovely bloke that has made the process stress free.

“The One” builder with great team and professional attitude

Thoughts of constructing first dream home fills once heart with joy, excitement and on the other sends a chill down the spin with anxious thoughts and million questions. You juggle from one floor plan to the other, visit hundreds of display home, chat with enormous builder's representative, go through an exhaustive list of inclusions which makes you even more confused and exposed.

But, after discovering and exploring Boutique homes it seemed like a cake walk. We are at an early stages of building HAVANA 32 (on display@Botanica in MICKLEHAM). All thanks to our new homes consultant Surinder Mehta, that we have got what we wished for to build our first home. Surinder, made the initial phase very easy, he gave our needs the ears we wanted, explained things to the very basics which in-turn makes you confident and affirmative. Surinder, is an expert in the field, he answers all your queries very patiently, addresses your needs rather then wants and makes you feel that you are with the right builder and in right hands.

Boutique Homes is a quality driven builder which gives you the satisfaction you need when building "The First One" and the same culture filters through the employee's especially Mr. Surinder Mehta, who did not leave any stone un-turned to win our confidence and support by delivering incomparable upgrades while adhering to our financial boundaries.

We are self-assured that the building process will be a smooth one and would take this opportunity to urge all FHOB to give Boutique Home a go and they will be able to cater your needs with highest quality standards compared to the counterparts.
