Upsizing: should you buy an existing home, or build a new one?
As families grow and lifestyles evolve, many Aussies begin considering whether to upsize to an older, bigger home or construct a fresh, customised one. With over three decades of helping Aussie families build their perfect new home, here are our thoughts.
Room for dreams and then some
How often have you walked through a home and thought, “This room would be perfect if only…”? Upsizing with Coral Homes means no more ‘if onlys’. Our expansive range of designs gives you the flexibility to craft spaces that align with your family’s evolving needs.

Modern quality over old problems
There’s a certain allure to older homes, but they can come with a box of surprises, mostly costly. In contrast, each Coral home is sculpted with modern fittings, passing through our meticulous seven-step quality assurance process, and crowned by an independent inspection. We ensure your new home is bigger and better in every aspect.
Crystal-clear journey

Construction process
Time to see it all come together. After a site start date has been issued, your Building Supervisor will then become your primary point of contact. Your Supervisor will contact you to arrange a meeting on site where you will discuss the construction of your new home and from there on, provide you with a weekly update on the progress of your home.
The construction process comprises, the house base, frame, external linings and fixing and finally practical completion. Once these stages are complete, you’ll attend your final walk-through inspection to clarify any outstanding items. After all the key milestone stages of building your home are completed, you are at the handover stage where you receive the keys to your dream Coral home!

Frequently asked questions
Homes perfect for upsizing
Do you build duplexes?
We have chosen to design narrow lot homes (fitting on a block width of 9m or 10m) as an alternative to a duplex. We’ve done this so you don’t have to compromise on privacy and luxury while still maintaining the benefits that come with a dual occupancy build.
Can I go on the building site of my home?
You can go on site any time you like, as long as your Building Supervisor is there with you. This policy is for safety reasons and your own protection.
Do I need to hire a crane?
This will depend on your block of land and how close it is situated to surrounds, for example trees and neighbours.
Do you assist in financing?
Please speak with your financial institution or a broker for financing options for a construction loan. We highly recommend that you gain pre-approval for your loan before signing any documents to proceed with building your new home. This is one of the key reasons why we provide you with a free estimate upfront. You can start talking to your bank or mortgage broker around your borrowing capacity early on.
