Hi there. My wife’s parents are from Australia, we want to build a custom home for vacation purposes there (in Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne). Almost signed a contract with Gilpip Homes builders https://gilpiphomes.com.au/completed-developments/(if the name tells you something – share some knowledge about them).
The estimate happened to be slightly cheaper then we expected it would be.
Wonder how are the prices for building a house in Australia different from the US prices?
Anyone had this kind of experience?

I don’t believe you’ll find the info your searching for on this site. It’s geared towards US and Canadian homeowners and builders. I do split my time between the US and Scotland, have businesses and homes in both. I’ve found expat groups on Facebook to be the most valuable source of info for questions like this. I’m sure there is an Australian American expat group on Facebook. The groups are typically private groups that require an admin to accept you. I really hate Facebook, but if you are in a new country with limited knowledge the private expat groups are very helpful.
