Second only to choosing the section, the right builder will, quite literally, make or break your build experience. There's a lot more to choosing a builder than getting the best price.

Security:
1, LPR Camera: License Plate Recognition camera at the garage door will pick up the number plate of a vehicle approaching/leaving the house and if that matches the list preconfigured in the system, the garage door will open/close automatically. We can also set up a blacklist so any number plate within this list appears the system will send notification to owner's mobile instantly.
2, Intercom: Integrated with CCTV system, it works as an extra security camera so the footage is recorded on the NVR. Once the door station button is pressed, both indoor monitor and owner's mobile will show notification. Tow way communication can be established from both in house or the other side of the world.
3, Security Alarm: Apart from the normal security alarm system, it is linked with Fib Home Centre so it can trigger the “Alarm Mode”(Pre-configured). Not only giving the family member the ability to arm/disarm the alarm from their mobile, but also alert them when attention is needed. Once the alarm goes off, the “Alarm Mode” will be switched on. In this scenario, all the lights in the house will be switch off, LED strap will flash red and blue, the outdoor siren will ring after.
4 minutes: with the alarm stop ringing, the LED strap will become white for further 1 minute. This can be configured totally according to the owner's prospection.

Convenient life:
- All the light in open area in both downstairs and upstairs are controlled by normal wall switches as well as home automation system. That means family member are enjoying multiple ways to interaction with those gears. It can be switch on/off from mobile app and smart speakers such as Google Home/Amazon Echo. Groups are created including different devices, for example “Kitchen” including bar light and kitchen light and “Upstairs” including “Dining Room”, “Living Room” and “House” means everything.
- Not only that, each home automation module can setup its own schedule, such as tuning on the stair lights 8pm to 12am, 7 days a week, or turn of the “living room” group after a certain period of time. It can also be triggered by sunrise/sunset, according to the weather forecast function built in the home automation system.
- Apart from light switches, we have robot vacuum cleaner to keep out house clean and neat. A Chromecast linked with user's google account will respond to voice command and play the right content on living room TV.

Which flooring is best for which part of your home

FLOORING

Darker colours can make a room appear smaller, whereas lighter colours can create a sense of spaciousness

TYPES OF FLOORING
CARPET
Soft and cosy, you can't go past carpet for warmth, price, beauty and durability.

HARDWOOD
A pricier choice, hardwood is long-lasting, timeless and always beautiful.

VINYL
The ideal choice if you're looking for a specific look on a more modest budget.

STONE & TILE
Marble, travertine and mosaic effects without the costly price tag.

LAMINATE
All the beauty and tonal variety of wood with the toughness of laminate.

Which flooring is best for which part of your home?

LIVING
Carpet is ideal for relaxing on, but if your living area flows out to a deck, use tough hardwood or vinyl, then add rugs for the snuggle factor.

KIDS' AREA
Vinyl flooring is tough, easy to clean and comes in heaps of cool colours.

KITCHEN
Tiles are beautiful but take a lot of cleaning – vinyl and laminate look great and can withstand anything you throw, spill or drop.

BATHROOM
Tiles, tiles, tiles

HALLWAY
High-traffic areas such as hallways can get noisy – a warm, durable carpet is the best choice.

GARAGE
Carpeting in garages is the norm these days, even under the car. Tough garage carpet will also provide a good surface for your home gym.

Why more benefits of building new

Why more benefits of building new
This is an important thing to consider, the benefit of a new home are:
- New technology and better quality materials.
- You get your personalised unique home.
- You can take the most benefit of your section.
- Less ongoing maintenance.
- New house is easier to sell and better chance of equity.
- Newer and more rigid building and compliance standards.
1 Fixed price - no surprises
At Indelible Homes we have the budget discussion up-front, and design your home to your budget.

Building new you will no longer have to guess at prices, spend money on all the reports. You won't have to force yourself to meet vendor's prices.

You have the total freedom to picture your wonderful new home journey to satisfy your entire family.

2 Your home, your way
When we build, we also think about the lives of the people who will be living there as well. The design should be flexible enough to meet the changing demands of its owners or versatile enough to meet the future needs of subsequent users. For example: a zone for teenagers or an outside granny flat. At Indelible, we can design you a home for the future.

3 Financial advantages
The main difference between Construction Finance and a standard mortgage is that the full amount of the loan isn't paid out all at once, with Construction Finance progress payments are made through the build of your home, so you won't pay interest on the full amount until the home has been completed.
