It doesn’t matter what age you are, whether you want a new home, a new car, a better job, to be a reality TV star, to turn your favourite pastime into a business or to get some new clothes and have your hair done … it just takes a little bit of forethought to envisage what it is you actually want, so you can shine your attention on the best path that will take you there.
You don’t walk into a car dealership and say, “Oh I’ll have anything you’ve got!” You’ve already seen the type of car you want somewhere, you’ve already thought about how good it feels to drive, you probably know the colour, you may have even imagined the smell of fresh leather upholstery … the more you let your imagination run wild, the clearer you become.
So here are a few extra steps you might like to consider while you’re having thoughts of getting yourself into that beautiful, comfortable, brand new home.
β THINK AHEAD: Get excited about the process of buying a brand new home; from selecting the block to choosing the home design that works best for you, your piece of paradise, your household and your lifestyle. Give yourself the freedom you’ve been wanting for so long, and really imagine, that you already have it!
β VISUALISE IT WITH PICTURES: Download some of your favourite pictures from the internet or pin them to a site like Pinterest. What a great way to get inspiration. You could also create a vision board, a dream board, or mood board or whatever you want to call it, with all the images you like collected from magazines, then glued or pinned onto a board. (I actually decoupaged a guitar many years ago with the images I really loved, and I’m currently living all of them right now). You could collect digital images and put them into a folder on your computer or phone and then when you’re ready, turn them into a gallery slideshow, or a screensaver or something that is in your line of sight fairly often. There’s nothing quite like visual reminders of the things that make us smile when we see them. I bet you’ve already started doing some of those things π
β IMAGINE HOW NICE IT WILL BE: A space to call your own, something worthwhile to really focus upon, to plan having guests or parties or family get-togethers or Christmas lunches or maybe just a quiet and peaceful place to get-away-from-it-all. You could make it feel and look like a resort, so that owning your own beautiful home is better than going on a holiday. Consider all the things that matter most to you.
β BE CONFIDENT: You might also like to consider beginning your new home journey here with Guardian Master Builders, and using our skills, experience and connections to reduce the chance of making costly mistakes. We’ll help you get it right the first time and who knows, you might even feel inspired to do it all again, like some of our other clients, who’ve found out it’s much easier, than they expected.
β EXPLORE YOUR CHOICES: Take a look though the Home Design Floor Plans. Most people are more than happy to choose from over 25 house designs and a variety of quality inclusions, but if there’s something else you want in your new home that really makes you smile, write it down, think about how much it means to you … and let us help you get it.
β USE OUR EXPERIENCE: Relax about the planning and paperwork that needs to be done right at the start. With more than 45 years experience in the Local Construction Industry we know what’s legally required, ways to surpass industry standards, dealing best with councils, getting innovative Architect Drawings, faster Building Approvals, Soil Testing, Engineer Evaluations, Energy Efficiency Reports and other important things that most people have never even considered. Unless it thrills you to think about those things, just hand the task over to us, let us do the job we do best, and keep thinking about the aspects of your new home, that DO thrill you.
β FEEL SECURE: Whilst there have been negative repercussions in the building industry recently, we make sure contingency plans have been considered and are available to be quickly put in place if ever needed, which means you WILL have a completed home by the end of your contract period. Imagine that!
β MAKE IT YOUR OWN: Fully customise your home design to get the features and additions most important to you. Customise to suit your lifestyle, your household, your pets, improved health, comfort, emotional calm, mental stimulation and to fulfil your secret desires for the future. You can even ask about our Luxury Extras Packages. What you spend on the construction of your home is a once-up cost. No matter whether a house costs you a little or a lot, you’ll pretty much spend the same on maintenance, utilities, council rates etc. in the future, so you might as well include those special things now.
β GET ANSWERS QUICKER: Throughout the entire home build process with us, you are given a direct line to your project manager and your builder to have questions or concerns answered immediately. Our team ensures the build runs as smoothly as possible. Things don’t always go perfectly to plan, sometimes they turn out even better! Did you read that? Sometimes, things turn out even better!
β HAVE MORE FUN: The vibe in our office is high and we thrive even more because we’re encouraged to have fun, and, given the space and the tools to really enjoy our work. Our company culture is both relaxed and super productive. And, if you decide that we’re a match to work together, you’ll feel it too. Think about the fun you’ll have looking at furniture, paint colours, new bedding, design trends or whatever it is that tickles your fancy.
β FEEL REALLY GOOD: We are one of the fastest growing construction companies in Australia. More than that, we’re one of the fastest growing social businesses too. Guardian Masters Builders don’t just build houses, our focus is to construct you a quality, cost effective home that matches YOUR dream, and makes you feel really good, every time you think about it. Are you smiling now as you think about it? That means you’re on track to letting it materialise.
β ENJOY MORE FREEDOM: How good will this be: No more wasting money paying rent or trying to fix broken things in someone else’s house or living with your parents! A funny thing happens when you really make a commitment to something like buying a new home, the ways and means to have it, just seem to show up. That reminds me of one of my favourite inspirational quotes. You probably already know it …
β β¦ the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.β β William Hutchison Murray

Here’s what these clients had to say about Guardian Master Builders.
βThey went above and beyond from before we signed the contract right up until the end. The project manager was always happy to answer my questions and quickly too. I have recommended my family to build with them as well. This was my first home and in all honesty from what others told me, I thought it was going to be a nightmare. Fortunately, I met these guys. The house turned out magnificent, we are super happy with it. My partner and I are very pleased with what Guardian Master Builders did for us. From my family and I, a great big Thank you!β β Zak Vidal (Yarrabilba Queensland)
βHighly recommended, especially for first-timers. We were really nervous to go through the process of building our own home after watching some of the dramas that other people went through, so it was a relief to work with a company who listened to what we wanted and valued our opinions. It felt like they actually cared about us being happy with the final result. It went smoothly, it was quick, it was much easier than we thought and we can’t thank Guardian Master Builders enough. We got exactly what we wanted. We love our new home. β β Nikki and Michael Bray (Park Ridge Queensland)
βThe entire team at Guardian Master Builders were great to deal with from start to finish. Both Chris (Director) and Alan (the Site Supervisor) are helpful, aware and understanding. We were so happy with our decision to build with them and our finished product is incredible! Much better than we expected. They worked with us to make all the changes we wanted, the process was stress free and ran fairy smoothly. We are extremely happy with what weβve got, and just in time for Christmas too. Great result all round. Thanks so much.β β Saeed Ulah Karnal (Kuraby Queensland)

I bought my first home at 27. By the time I was ready and determined to buy (and had a part deposit organised), the Government First Home-Owner Grant was no longer being offered. I missed out by a few months! But when I found the home I REALLY WANTED, it didn’t even matter. I wanted it so much that I put down a small $5000 deposit anyway and felt confident the rest of my deposit would show up – well it did. The bank then approved my loan and the rest is history. I’m so glad I didn’t keep on waiting for everything to be perfect. There is no perfect! There’s just what feels good to me right now. It might sound airy-fairy, but I know when I’m on my path by how good it feels. That’s my internal guidance calling me, to what surprises and delights I’m ready to experience next!
P.P.S. If you decide to built your new home with us or not, no matter what you choose, I wish for you, whatever YOU wish for you, multiplied by all the stars in the sky π
P.P.P.S. I’m laughing so much right now as I keep on thinking of more things I want to add … If you’d like to contact me directly to say hello or talk about anything I’ve written, just send an email to: fun@guardianmasterbuilders.com.au and you’ll get straight though. We can talk more then ok.
