If you’re building a home in Perth, you might be wondering:
Where do I even start?
The truth is, building a home can feel overwhelming. Between comparing builders, understanding finance, and finding the right block, it’s easy to get lost in the process or pressured into the wrong decision.
That’s where a building broker comes in.
What is a building broker?
Think of us like a mortgage broker, but for home builds.
We work for you, not the builder, to guide your journey from start to finish.
And the best part? Our service is 100% free for buyers.
We help you:
We are not a builder…
or a banker or a developer.
As your dedicated new home broker, we are on your side. We champion your best interests, expertly negotiate the best deal and provide the straightforward advice you need to hear, every time.
Backed by our expertise in Perth’s property and building landscape, we navigate the complexities, foresee hidden costs and know precisely who to trust with your dream. Expect clear communication, genuine advocacy, and an unmatched selection – all delivered by an expert who is 100% in your corner. You deserve an exceptional experience, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
It’s all about you
Our team takes the time to understand you and your needs, so we can help you secure the best solution and help create a home that’s uniquely yours.
We are your property partner that is with you every step of the way.
Clear advice & real support
We speak your language and simplify every step. You’ll never feel pressured or lost in jargon, just equipped to make smart, confident decisions.
There are no silly questions!
Curated panel of builders
No more guesswork, no more biased sales pitches. We work with a team of vetted building organisations, meaning we find the best fit for your needs.
Quality vetting process
We do the leg work to make sure that the builder will be able to complete your home, at a high standard, on time, and on budget.
Independent, transparent, on your side
We put you, the buyer, first – always. That means challenging industry norms, advocating for better outcomes, and offering you transparency and support from day one.
Let’s clear things up
In a way, yes – you could consider us to be a building broker platform with a finance arm. However, there’s a significant difference between Locale Homes and other building brokers out there. We’re proud to bring a level of scale and sophistication to the West Australian market (and eventually nationwide) that is unparalleled in the industry.
One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our ability to seamlessly integrate with builders using best-in-class processes, our dedicated support teams, and our ongoing investment in technology platforms. This means that we’re able to align with different builders’ processes and offer you a streamlined, hassle-free experience. You’ll have a singular point of contact throughout the entire buying journey, from attaining finance, selecting your land, to building your dream home. No need to worry about the confusion that comes when dealing with multiple people.
You can rest assured knowing that we will be by your side, offering guidance through the decision-making process and helping you steer clear of any costly mistakes.
Going straight to a builder often means you’re only seeing one option. Their homes, their pricing, their terms.
A building broker works differently. We act as your advocate, comparing multiple builders and designs to help you find the best fit for your needs, goals, and budget.
Here’s why people choose a broker over going it alone:
-
More choice: We compare a wide range of builders and floorplans — not just one catalogue.
- Peace of mind: Rely on the people in the know, who have vetted builders and selected those who will deliver.
-
Impartial advice: We’re not tied to any one builder, so our guidance is genuinely in your best interest.
-
Better deals: With insider industry knowledge, we can negotiate inclusions, price holds, build times and more.
-
Clarity and confidence: We explain contracts, flag hidden costs, and break down the fine print so nothing catches you off guard.
-
Ongoing support: From land sourcing to key handover, we’re by your side the whole way. We’re your property partner for life, after all.
Put simply: you get more value, less stress, and a better build experience when you have an expert in your corner.
No, it doesn’t cost you a cent more.
Building brokers, like us, are paid by the builder – the same way a sales rep working at a builder would be. The difference? We work for you, not them.
Instead of pushing one builder’s product, we compare a panel of trusted builders who have been handpicked for their quality, reliability, and customer care. We constantly review this panel to ensure they’re still delivering on time, to standard, and without overpromising and taking on too much work (because this will hurt your build experience in the long run).
So while the builder pays us, our loyalty is to you.
Everyone.
Of course, we would say that. But if you answer yes to any of these questions, a building broker could be a game-changer for you:
- First home buyer?
- Overwhelmed and not sure where to start?
- Too busy to shop around or even get started?
- Wasting time comparing builders and specs?
- Are you wasting time shopping around for a builder?
- Need advice on what builder to go with?
- New to the state and unsure about builders or finance options and government incentives?
- Looking for a full-service solution to sorting your finances, finding land, and the perfect home design from a builder that will deliver?
If any of these sound like you, we’re here to help simplify the process and guide you every step of the way. We’ll do that hard work for you.

Building a new home involves a lot of moving parts: from finding land and choosing a design, to comparing builders, understanding contracts, and managing costs. For most buyers, it’s unfamiliar territory.
A building broker helps you make sense of it all.
Just like a mortgage broker compares lenders, a building broker compares builders, helping you navigate the process with less stress and better outcomes.
People choose to work with a building broker because they want:
-
Independent advice – not recommendations based on a builder’s bottom line.
-
More builder and design choices – without having to shop around or be stuck with what one builder has on offer.
-
Clarity on pricing and inclusions – including hidden costs that might catch you off guard.
-
Guidance on timelines, contracts and the process – transparent and explained in plain language.
- Support from start to finish – from planning to key handover.
It’s about saving time, money, and hassle, while gaining confidence in your decisions.
Your new home journey deserves a better buying experience.

I cannot recommend Audris at Locale Homes highly enough! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly friendly and approachable, making what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and manageable.
She went above and beyond to help me secure the perfect piece of land, but more importantly, she gave me the confidence I needed to actually start my building journey. I am so grateful for her expertise and genuine care.

Monique from locale homes is super helpful & detailed about your house and land packages !
Our transition was much smoother using her to break down everything and to have a clear plan as we didn’t know where to start.Highly recommend the locale homes group & Monique Juratovac if anybody is looking to build a house.

Thanks to Kristen and the team for finding me the perfect block of land and organising everything from working with developers and builders to finding the perfect house plan. The whole process has been fantastic, they always answer every question, keep me in the loop with updates and I would be so lost without all their work. Highly recommend Locale Homes.

I had the opportunity of meeting Brett last year. Even when we fell short financially, he never gave up and always looked for ways to make it work for us. He kept in touch from time to time until the day came when he found something that makes home ownership possible for us. We are very thankful for his dedication and guidance that we are now able to enter the property market and have secured a nice block of land that falls within our budget. He also helped us find a great builder with nice house designs. I highly recommend Brett and Ankit of Locale Homes to anyone who is planning to build a house. They will surely guide you well to achieve your goals of home ownership. Thank you that we have started our home ownership journey with you guys.

So stoked. Thanks Shea and team.
★★★★★
This is my partners and I first time building a home, and we’ve been nothing but pleased and impressed with our representative and the team at Locale Homes.
Our representative, Tayla Juratovac, has been so supportive and knowledgeable. Any concerns weve had along the way have been promptly addressed, and any info and advice we needed was always provided in the best possible way. We were expecting it to be a big tedious daunting process, but so far its been great, having Tayla and the team at Locale to guide us through has taken all the stress and worry out of it.
Looking forward to navigating the rest of the build with Tayla and Locale, and cant wait to see the end result. I think we`re in good hands.
