Key Takeaways

  • No two builders present pricing and inclusions the same way.
  • A cheaper quote can cost more once excluded items become upgrades.
  • Compare inclusions side by side to judge genuine value.
Choosing a home builder is one of the biggest decisions you will make, but comparing builders is not always straightforward. If you have started collecting quotes, you have probably realised that no two builders present their pricing or inclusions the same way. That is exactly why Ownit Homes created Compare My Builder, a free tool to help you compare on what is actually included, not just the price.

Try the free Compare My Builder tool, then check our full inclusions list to see what we include as standard.

Why comparing Brisbane builders can be confusing

Many buyers naturally compare the bottom line, but the overall value of your home comes down to far more than the advertised price. Important inclusions vary significantly between builders. Without comparing these side by side, it is easy to assume two builders are offering the same home when the specifications may be completely different.
  • Kitchen appliances and stone benchtops
  • Ceiling heights and flooring throughout the home
  • Air conditioning, driveways and landscaping
  • Electrical and lighting packages
  • Energy efficiency features and structural warranties
  • Facade options and upgrade allowances

How Compare My Builder works

Compare My Builder is a free online tool that helps you compare Ownit Homes with many of Brisbane's leading builders in a few simple steps. Whether you are at the beginning of your research or already have quotes, it gives you a clearer picture of how each option compares.
  • Select the builders you are comparing
  • Choose your home type: single storey, double storey, knockdown rebuild or custom
  • Compare inclusions side by side across construction and finishes
  • Upload another builder's quote for our team to review
  • Receive your personalised comparison

Compare value, not just price

The cheapest quote is not always the most affordable home. Features that are not included initially often become additional upgrade costs later in the build. By comparing builders on their inclusions, specifications and overall value, you get a much clearer understanding of what you are actually paying for, and you can ask better questions and avoid unexpected costs.
