Finding your dream home is all about weighing up your lifestyle needs, the location, your budget, and the available offerings. At Maplestone, we want to make this decision easier for you. Whether you’re considering a traditional house and land package or our Hawke Collection townhouses, we’re here to assist in what is often one of life’s greatest decisions.

Struggling to understand the difference in what makes our Hawke Collection by TMC³ townhouse a cut above your standard House and Land package? We’ve done the work for you!

The Hawke Collection by TMC³ Townhouses: Our TMC³ townhouses are an innovative modular home solution, developed by RCL Group. They are designed with sustainability and cost-efficiency in mind, and require just a 10% up front deposit and no further payments until completion.

Traditional House and Land Packages: House and land packages are the traditional choice, typically taking 12-18 months between purchase and settlement. While they offer standard amenities, they often lack the full turnkey experience that comes with a townhouse.

Land Construction Timing:

• House and Land: Land titles for house & land purchase off-the-plan will usually carry a 12-18 month wait period while the land is constructed.
• TMC³: Land titles are available and ready to commence construction of your build. In most cases, the build has already commenced and move-in is imminent.

Build Construction Timing:

• House and Land: Home frames are built on site, involving multiple trades that are exposed to external weather factors that could result in slower construction.
• TMC³: Modules are manufactured in a factory and transported to site, reducing build times and the chance of any weather delays.

Value:

• House and Land: Only feature a standard inclusions specification that rarely includes any luxury inclusions. Further payments through upgrade selections are required to have these luxury inclusions added to your build.
• TMC³: Offering outstanding value that includes standard luxury inclusions at no further cost to you. These inclusions feature reverse cycle air conditioning, 900mm appliances, stone benchtops to kitchen & bathroom, 5Kw solar system, 2700mm ceiling heights, square set cornices throughout, plus much more.
