Compare Build Quotes with 3C Homes – What You Need to Know Before You Sign
Building your dream home is a major milestone — and a major investment. Naturally, you’ll want to get a few build quotes before you choose the right builder. But not all quotes are created equal. While some might seem cheaper on the surface, they may be missing key details, leaving room for hidden costs, scope changes, or delays. At 3C Homes, we believe in transparency, quality, and fixed-price certainty — and that’s why more Kiwi homeowners choose to build with us.
Here’s how to compare build quotes effectively and why 3C Homes stands out from the rest.
1. Fixed Price vs. Provisional Sums
Many builders offer quotes filled with provisional sums — allowances for items such as kitchens, earthworks, or fittings. These are rough estimates and can change significantly once the actual costs come in. At 3C Homes, we provide fixed-price contracts, so you know exactly what you’re paying — upfront and in writing. This protects you from budget blowouts and unexpected charges.
2. What’s Included (and What’s Not)
It’s easy to be swayed by a low quote, only to find that essentials like driveways, landscaping, or even flooring aren’t included. Our build-only quotes are comprehensive and detailed, outlining every item and stage of the build. You won’t be caught off-guard by things that should have been covered from day one.
3. Build-Only Experts
Already have your plans approved and ready to go? 3C Homes specialises in build-only projects, which means we focus entirely on delivering the construction to the highest standard — no distractions, no delays. Our team works with the materials and finishes you’ve chosen, with expert craftsmanship and seamless communication throughout the process.
4. Clear Timelines and Project Management
When comparing quotes, make sure each builder provides a realistic timeline for your project. Delays can cost you — in time, stress, and money. At 3C Homes, we assign experienced project managers to ensure your build runs smoothly, with clear milestones and regular updates to keep you informed every step of the way.
5. Peace of Mind with a 10-Year Guarantee
Only some builders are eligible to offer the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee, which protects your investment long after the build is complete. At 3C Homes, we’re proud to offer this guarantee — giving you confidence in the quality of materials, workmanship, and the long-term durability of your home.
Final Thoughts
When you’re comparing build quotes, it’s not just about the price — it’s about value, transparency, and trust. A cheaper quote may end up costing you more in the long run if it lacks detail, quality, or accountability. At 3C Homes, we promise a fixed price, top-quality craftsmanship, and a building experience that puts your peace of mind first.
