Standard inclusions vs. upgrades – what’s the difference?

1 April 2024

When building a home, terms like ‘standard inclusions,’ ‘upgrades,’ and ‘upgrade packs’ get tossed around a lot.

So let’s break it down.

Standard Inclusions are the essentials – we call them “Premier Inclusions” around here. They are a detailed list of all the standard features included in your home’s construction, setting the baseline for its pricing. Upgrades, meanwhile, are your golden ticket to customisation, offering you the chance to tailor your space exactly to your tastes and elevate your home to new heights.

Some of the things we include as standard are:

  • Working drawings, specifications and contract production
  • Soil test, site survey and engineering designs
  • 25 year warrantied termite protection
  • Dedicated administration representative for all communication and progress reports
  • Regular on-site construction meetings directly with construction team
  • Dedicated maintenance team to ensure all is well with your new home
  • A roof made from COLORBOND® steel, gutters, fascia and downpipes
  • Brivis Gas ducted heating with wall mount controller

When you choose a home from our Prospect range, you can customise your space with one, two, or all three of our specially curated upgrade packs, completing your new home with a personalised touch.
