Six ways to get the most out of your Shoreline’s display village visit
After conducting your research and getting to know and love the community, you’ve decided to buy land and build your dream home at Shoreline. Congratulations!
Now, it's time to embark on the next step of this journey - finding a builder and a home design that not only aligns with your current preferences, but also caters to your future needs.
We’ve outlined six tips to make your first visit to the Shoreline Display Village a seamless and exciting experience. By undertaking these simple steps, you’re bound to find the builder and layout that’s right for you.
- Research the builders within the Shoreline Display Village
Whether you’re looking to book an appointment with a few builders or simply walk around the display village, it's important to research the various builders and display homes on offer at Shoreline to get an idea of what is right for you. By visiting their websites, social media pages and reading customer reviews, you’ll find it easier to get an idea of the style and quality of work you like.
The Shoreline Display Village is home to a range of premium homes built by some of the country’s most reputable builders. This includes homes from Antech Constructions, Bella Queensland Properties, Bold Living, Brighton Homes, Burbank Homes, Chelbrooke Homes, Clarendon Homes, Coral Homes, Fiteni, Hallmark Homes, Metricon, Neptune Homes, Ownit Homes, Plantation Homes and Stroud Homes.
- Decide upon your requirements before chatting to the builders
To make it easier for the sales consultants to assist you, it’s best to visit the display village with your list of requirements. This list should be filled with your ‘non-negotiables’, such as the type of home you're interested in, your budget, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and garages you need, preferred features, and any other special requirements you may have. If you have a list of ‘nice to have’ items on your wish list, bring them along to your appointment as well – you'll be surprised at how easy it may to be include these requests in your build.
- Prepare a list of questions, and don’t be afraid to take notes:
The best way to make the most out of your visit is to develop a list of questions you want to ask the builders. Whether you've got queries about the construction process, estimated timelines or pricing structure, the consultants in the display homes are ready to answer your questions – no matter how big or small they are. With so much information to absorb, it’s a good idea to bring along some pen and paper so you remember the finer details of your conversation.
- Take reference pictures
With so many beautiful homes on display, it’s easy to get swept up in the beautiful aesthetics on Jingeri Street. However, without photographic evidence, you may leave the display village forgetting which home layouts or designs were at the top of your wish list. By taking pictures or videos of the homes that fit your style and budget, you’ll find it easier to remember specific layouts, design elements, or features that you find appealing.
- Consider your budget
One of the most important parts of this checklist is to have a clear idea of what your budget is. If you’ve already secured your dream lot at Shoreline, you may have pre-approval from your lender for the build of your future property, which makes it easier to determine your home building budget. If you haven’t secured your lot at Shoreline, don’t stress – it might be worth having a chat to a mortgage broker to determine how much lending capacity you have.

- Let the experts guide you
You might be set on a certain design or layout, but it’s worth having an open mind and taking suggestions from the builders. This is especially important if you have already secured your lot at Shoreline, as certain layouts and home designs may need to be tweaked to suit the land you’re building on. Remember, your chosen builder is an expert in their field, so they are equipped to provide you with valuable insights or alternative solutions that you may not have considered.
