At King Homes NSW, we understand that embarking on the journey of building your dream home comes with its fair share of complexities, especially when it comes to understanding and budgeting for site costs. That’s why we’ve made it our priority to ensure transparency and clarity for our clients right from the start.
Here’s how we approach site costs differently to make your home building experience smoother and more predictable.
What Are Site Costs and Why Do They Matter?
Firstly, its important to understand what is a Site cost. Site costs encompass the fees involved in preparing your land for construction and establishing the necessary footings and slab to support your new home’s structural integrity. These costs play a crucial role in your overall budget and can often be a source of anxiety and uncertainty for homeowners-to-be.
Every site is different, therefore each site and project is investigated to call attention to the extra details that may be involved to build on your site. These involve, Site (Slab) Classification, Site Fall, Surrounding location and Orientation of land

Eliminating Unknowns:
We understand that navigating through technical terms and unfamiliar territory can be daunting for many clients. That’s why our team of professional estimators and engineers work diligently to assess each block of land thoroughly, designing the most suitable and cost-effective solution for your site needs.
Our experienced Site Supervisors are also scheduled to visit the site during the early stages, completing a thorough report to note down ease of access, e.g. can a large truck safely stop and unload without impeding traffic. As well as determining if additional work health and safety requirements are required e.g. tree protection, location of stormwater grates, council trees and ordering tiger tails (wrapping low-lying powerlines to make them visible). Afterall, the supervisor has the on the ground experience, and this report likely extinguishes any problems before they arise.
