Key Takeaways
- Average costs for personalised builds in Australia range anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per square metre.
- Your level of personalisation and the inclusions you choose greatly influence the outcome.
Building a personalised home can be a milestone for many Australians. Unlike a custom-built home, a personalised home by Everyday Homes is based on our set home designs, whilst allowing flexibility in style and finish, enabling you to reflect your personality. Finding an affordable, award-winning home builder can be difficult, especially when you have a specific vision in mind. Some builders, like Everyday Homes, offer a Build and Buy tool that lets you find the right plans for you while giving you options to personalise your facade, palette, and style within your budget.
The truth is, when it comes to the cost of a personalised home, several factors are at play, including location and land conditions, as well as size, materials, and finishes. Understanding what influences those costs can help you plan realistically and make confident decisions along the way.
So, What’s the Average Cost?
As a general guide, the cost to build a personalised home in Australia can range anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per square metre, depending on your level of personalisation and the inclusions you choose.

- Everyday Homes in Edmondson Park is listed at $1,559,500, including home and land, with personalised build options at a higher price.

The Key Factors That Influence Personalised Home Costs
1. Location and Site Conditions
Where you build has a huge impact on price. Site works, like excavation, levelling and soil preparation, can add thousands depending on the condition of your land. Building in a sloping area or a suburb with strict building regulations may also influence cost.
2. Size and Layout
The bigger the home, the higher the price tag, but it’s not just about square metres. Complex floor plans, additional storeys and unique details can all affect the total.
3. Design Choices and Finishes
Your selections for materials, fixtures and fittings make a noticeable difference. High-end stone benchtops, designer tapware, and energy-efficient upgrades all add value and cost, but they can also improve comfort and long-term savings.
4. Builder and Inclusions
Not all builders include the same features in their base price. It’s important to compare what’s actually included in your quote, from driveways and landscaping to air conditioning and flooring.
The Hidden Costs You Might Not Expect
Beyond the build itself, you’ll want to factor in additional costs. Everyday Homes’ personalised build quotes include costs like:
- Site preparation and soil testing
- Council fees and permits (arranged by Everyday Homes)
- Utility connections (water, gas, electricity)
- Driveways, fencing, and landscaping
