Supporting Homeowners at Every Stage of Life 

Written by Swanbuild | 22, June, 2026

Buying a home is a huge event that can happen at any stage of your life. Young savvy savers taking their first step on the property ladder, growing families looking for more space to enjoy and retirees downsizing to find the right home to suit their needs, here at Swanbuild, we have homes to support you wherever you find yourself. 

Buying a home isn't one-size-fits-all, and we know from our years of delivering homes that customers love what it takes to get you into the home that suits you. Read on as we explore our inclusion packages, Simply Home and Life Made, that put the choice in your hands to deliver a home that suits your ideal lifestyle. 

 

 

Simply Homes: Smart Choices For Just What You Need 

When faced with the almost never-ending decision-making that comes with building a new home, we know that for some buyers, simplicity is key. For first-home buyers, the process is new, with many moving parts and shifting timelines. Here at Swanbuild, our modular process takes a lot of the guesswork out, with our team managing the entire build and even managing approvals with your local council. For homes completed with the Simply Homes inclusion package, we take extra care and offer you a collection of homes specifically selected for fast approval times, speedy construction, and an accessible budget. For retirees or those looking to downsize, the Simply Home package offers all the essentials in a new home without extraneous features that can extend build times and inflate the budget. The Simply Home package includes multiple design schemes to suit your tastes and efficient designs to get your home out of the factory and onto your land sooner.  

 

 

Life Made: Tailored Options For Your Lifestyle 

For buyers looking for that extra choice and a level of control that lets them tailor their homes to suit their personality and tastes, the Life Made package is made for you. Ideal, for buyers who have undertaken the home-building journey before, the Life Made package offers tailored options for almost every element of your home. With an extensive collection of home designs, the Life Made package allows you to personalise your home's style. Choose from an extended range of colours and finishes, from paint colours and tiles to door handles and light fixtures. 

 

Our Most Popular Floor Plans For Your Stage Of Life 

Somerset 14 The Ideal Starter Home

The classic layout of the Somerset 14 and its flexibility are what make it our most popular home design for first time homebuyers. The three-bedroom layout smartly places the main bedroom off the main living space for added privacy from the secondary rooms, while the large open-plan layout is built for everyday living, with maximum storage in the form of a walk-in pantry, a full linen cupboard, and built-in robes for each bedroom. Complete the home with the optional hardwood deck, and your living space will have the perfect flow for indoor-outdoor entertaining.  

 

Homestead 23 Room For Growing Families 

Building a Homestead 23 is a commitment to yourself for years, because once you've moved in, you won't want to move out. The spacious layout, measuring 216m2, provides enough space for everyone in the family. And the Life Made package ensures it's built how you like it, with your choice of interior design scheme and exterior facades. The home's four bedrooms are split over two distinct zones with the main bedroom (and its oversized walk-in robe and ensuite) occupying its own wing separated from the secondary bedroom by the shared living, which encompasses a separate lounge, and expansive family, kitchen and meals areas stretching from the front of the home to the rear.  

 

 

Kempton 10 The Right Choice For Downsizers 

When it comes to enjoying the next stage of your life, we know from our customers that it's about spending less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your home. The Kempton 10 meets that requirement and then some! A sensible two-bedroom layout and a manageable open-plan kitchen and meals area, the Kempton 10 can be placed on almost any sized block of land, thanks to its 91.2 m² footprint, and with the optional decking, you'll have the perfect place to enjoy the sunrise with a coffee or an afternoon window watching the sun set.  

Here at Swanbuild, we pride ourselves on finding and delivering the right home to suit every type of lifestyle and stage of life.
