In Australia, especially in the suburbs or newly developed areas,House and Land Package or Custom Build It is a very common pattern of buying a house.
Buyers select a piece of land, then choose a builder and design plan, and the whole process is a step towards realizing their dream home.
You can choose the land according to the location, orientation, school district, traffic, etc.;
You can also choose a standard design, or customize the layout for you by the architect.
From foundation construction, exterior wall construction to interior decoration, buyers can participate.
Some people even adjust the size of the room, the location of the windows, or add a small garden at the drawing stage.
This way of truly embodying the process of “building your own home” is also in line with the Australians' pursuit of a sense of space and quality of life.
In the eyes of Australians, owning a detached house with a lawn, garage and BBQ area is not just an asset, but their interpretation of life.
Reflecting on Taiwan, most people's experience of buying a home is buyingPre-Sale House, New-Naraya or Mid-Old House。
The design, layout and building materials of the house are almost fixed, and the choice of personalized space is relatively limited.
Due to the scarcity of urban land, there are few opportunities for self-development, unless it is in the countryside or in the mountains.
In fact, what most home buyers buy is “one in a building”, the land belongs in common, and the structure of the house is difficult to change.
Although the process of buying a home is fast and almost “signing, handing in,” it is not possible to have a “build from scratch” sense of achievement in terms of living flexibility and freedom of space as in Australia.
In fact, it all has to do with the “land culture” of both places.
With Australia's vast land area and low population density, the government encourages suburban development, so owning land has become the dream of many families.
In contrast, land is scarce in Taiwan, urban development is concentrated, and builders and buildings have become mainstream.
In Australia, the house was designed by you;
In Taiwan, the house is your choice.
In Australia, buying a home isn't just about owning a building, it's about realizing a vision of a “home.”
In Taiwan, buying a home is an “efficiency and function” option.
There is no one better, and the key is — what kind of life you want.
Want to plan freely, enjoy space and nature? Self-build in Australia best suits your imagination.
Want to get in fast and easy to live? Ready-made houses in Taiwan are still the most practical option.
