Ashleigh and Her New Home
Starting the Journey: Embracing New Beginnings
Ashleigh’s home-building journey began in 2021 when she secured a block of land, filled with excitement about creating her own space. Like many first-time builders, she encountered initial challenges, including the need to change her original builder. This pivotal decision led her to seek a more reliable partner to bring her dream home to fruition.

Finding the Right Partner: Joining the Redink Homes Family
In April 2023, Ashleigh’s path took a positive turn when she connected with Rhys, a sales manager at Redink Homes. Understanding her vision and the hurdles she had faced, Rhys provided the guidance and support Ashleigh needed. Together, they customised a standard Redink design, tailoring it to her preferences.
With a build time guarantee in place, Ashleigh could look forward to a structured and timely construction process.

Personalising the Dream: Design Choices and Prestart Experience
One of the most exciting phases for Ashleigh was the prestart process. Collaborating closely with the Redink team, including an interior design consultation with Ashlea, she made key decisions that would define her home’s character. From selecting flooring to choosing paint colors, each choice was a step toward creating a space that was uniquely hers.
Some of her selections included:
-
Kitchen Splashback: Crosby Tile
-
Kitchen Cupboards: Laminex, Planked Urban Oak
-
Kitchen Flooring: Carpet Call, Silkwood
Seeing these choices materialize during the build was a rewarding experience, reinforcing her vision for the home.

Progressing steadily, the brickwork began in November 2023, followed by the completion of the roof cover in January 2024. The lock-up stage was achieved in February 2024, with subsequent completion of tiling, plumbing, electrical finals, and all internal fit-offs, marking significant milestones toward the realization of her dream home.

Culmination: Key Handover and Reflection
