Building a new home in Whittlesea VIC
Whittlesea sits outside the Melbourne Urban Growth Boundary. The township aims to retain its rural character and sees minimal growth over the next decade. This means builds here are often in established areas or on greenfield land beyond the fringe. The findings we record on these builds are consistent: timber pest issues in older sections, vapour barrier missing in sections, and floor joists short of fixings. Fixing issues during construction saves money. Permanent repairs later cost more.
