Simonds Homes Prices

Looking to build your own home with Simonds Homes but are wondering if they are within your budget? Today, we’ll look at Simonds Homes Prices and give further information on inclusions and what designs Simonds offers. Simonds Homes build all around Australia including in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria, but in this article, we’ll focus mostly on South-East Queensland.

The Simonds Home website advertises a ‘from’ price for entire ranges rather than specific home designs. As you can imagine, this makes their pricing quite vague, especially when it comes to how much an individual home is likely to cost. The thing to keep in mind is all advertised prices are pretty ambiguous, regardless of the builder, and it’s always best to expect to pay more. The property market is constantly changing so whether you’re looking at building a house, house and land packages or buying a pre-existent house, it’s best to speak to someone from the builder directly to find out the most current Simonds Homes prices.

Simonds Homes Range

From $256,000.

The largest range that Simonds Homes has to offer, this collection is promoted as affordable, and innovative while maintaining quality workmanship and upkeeping meticulous standards. You can select a previous, award-winning design, or speak to their skilled team about customising a design for you.

Metro Range

The Simonds Homes range with the highest starting price. The plans are contemporary with room to house families, and are ”cleverly customisable” according to the website, giving you the chance to alter floorplans to suit your own style. Prices are advertised as being from $229,000, but be prepared to pay more than that. To have a look at the Metro inclusions, click here or scroll to the bottom of this blog post.

Xpress Range

The Xpress range is all about convenience, advertising a quicker build time and a more streamlined building process. You can customise your plan online, which will appeal to some people more than others, who may prefer to work with design consultants. Simonds offers you the chance to add upgrades to your floorplan (like ensuites, alfresco or walk-in pantries), however these will add to your overall cost.

Advertised as from $217,000, expect to pay 15-25% more than this at least. Simonds offers fixed priced contracts, meaning once the contract is signed, the price can’t be increased down the track.

Single Storey Homes

There are 49 single storey home designs available to view on their website. Single home designs tend to be among the most varied and flexible.

Acreage Homes

If you think the country life is a better life then an acreage home design might be perfect for you. Known for their sprawling designs, Acreage Homes are definitely for those with spacious properties, and are great for families.

Narrow block Homes

Simonds Homes has a range of Narrow Block options. These designs are best suited to those wanting a smaller home, or for those wishing to fit a larger house on a smaller block.

3 Bedroom Homes

4 Bedroom Homes

Four bedroom homes tend to be the most popular designs, due to right balance between living area, bathrooms and bedrooms for a family.

5 Bedroom Homes

Knockdown Rebuild

Like most builders, Simonds self-described construction force doesn’t include a demolition crew, so it’ll be your responsibility to organise that. Talk to your site manager or customer relationship coordinator and they may have some demolition companies they can recommend. These specially trained contractors will knock down your house, ready for your new house to be built.
