The Display Home Dream vs The Contract Reality - Kerri-Ann Hooper, Carnelian Projects - Ep 056

Building a new home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming when you don’t know what questions to ask. In this episode of The MTDC Lounge, Matt is joined by Kerri-Ann from Carnelian Projects to explain what homeowners should look for in tenders, building contracts and display builder packages. They talk about the hidden costs that can sit outside the headline price, why “fixed” prices can still have conditions, and why items like retaining walls, driveways, estate requirements, BASIX upgrades and contour plans need to be understood early. It’s a practical episode for anyone comparing builders, buying land, building in a new estate, or trying to work out whether a new home package is actually as good as it sounds.
