The Curated Build Guide

Everything I wish I knew before building my home with a volume builder in SEQ.

Building a home comes with hundreds of decisions, and so much of the information you need is often scattered across social media, builder documents and endless hours of research.

I created the Curated Build Guide to bring all of that knowledge together in one place, based on my own experience building a 238m² home on a 400m² block with a volume builder in Ipswich in 2024.

Inside you’ll find:

• Everything I wish someone had told me before I started building, including practical considerations that can easily be overlooked.
• The research behind my selections, including the hours spent comparing colours, finishes and options available through a volume builder.
• Key measurements and dimensions I used to help create a spacious, considered feel, even within a 238m² home.
• The colours, finishes and selections throughout my home, room by room, so you can use my build as inspiration for your own.
• Practical tips and advice gathered through firsthand experience, research and countless hours spent finding the details that make a difference and will add value to your home build.

With 100+ pages of advice, measurements, colours, selections and helpful tips for every room in your home, the Curated Build Guide is designed to be your go-to resource throughout your build.

Think of it as all the research I wish I had in one place, ready to help you make more confident decisions throughout your own build.
