This is the motto which Spectrum Homes took on board when faced with the so called "Perfect Storm" in the residential construction industry in Australia, caused due to the combination of Covid-19, the government stimulus grants for new home construction, the widespread flooding in Queensland and even the war in Ukraine.  Nobody could have predicted the impact on our lives and our industry, from shortages of skilled labour and materials, then the resulting unprecedented increases in costs for materials, labour and transportation. Spectrum Homes believe it was the ability to adapt, which has assisted us to weather the storm, we implemented [...]

Are you dreaming of a brand-new home but love the area you live in? A knock-down rebuild may be the perfect solution for you!

This land shortage is becoming more and more common within these regions and we’re seeing an increasing number of people and families choosing to utilise the land they already own. A perfect option for the current (and future) circumstances around land availability! Spectrum [...]

The weather has finally turned and it won't be long before it is winter on the Gold Coast – well our tropical version of winter at least! Even though the evenings have a chill in the air, a well designed outdoor room or alfresco areas can be used all year round. The temperature or weather shouldn’t determine how or when you can entertain or enjoy all the features and benefits of your new home! There are a few important things to consider when planning your outdoor room. The weather obviously has the single greatest impact on how and when you use any [...]

The first room that either sells a property or puts potential home buyers off is the kitchen - simply because it’s a place where people spend a great deal of time and they want to spend that time in a bright, cheerful, modern and fresh environment. Kitchen Bonding There have probably been more family heart-to-heart discussions in the kitchen than anywhere else in the home, as meals and food preparation tend to be the central gathering point for most families – especially at the beginning and end of days. Kids love bonding with parents over cooking and it’s also the place [...]

Custom designing a home means working from the ground up on a home that is suited to your particular needs rather than trying to fit your lifestyle into a pre-existing or standard home design. Benefits of Custom Design Custom designing your home means it can be built to suit the parcel of land – taking full advantage of the prevailing winds, the movement of the sun from summer to winter and the views. By using these natural factors it means you will be able to reduce energy costs in heating or cooling the home. A bespoke home can be designed around [...]

Building your own home is probably going to be one of the biggest investments of your life, but well worth it for the chance to establish yourself in the property market and the freedom of owning rather than renting. You get to call the shots on the style of the construction, its situation in relation to the site, how many rooms you have, and the choice of fixtures and finishings. There are certain aspects to consider before commencing work with your building contractor to ensure a hassle free experience. Established Contractor Established contractors will have a number of building plans they [...]
