Building the same house today can cost nearly double what it did just a few years ago.

In this video, I break down why new homes are so expensive to build now and what’s really driving the surge in construction costs across Australia.

Most people assume it’s just materials or labour.

But the real story is much bigger.

From supply chain shocks and trade shortages to new building regulations and rising interest rates, multiple forces have been quietly stacking on top of each other and pushing build costs higher.

I also share real project examples from Melbourne showing how the cost of building similar homes has jumped dramatically in just a few years and explains what it means for developers, investors and everyday buyers.

If you want to understand what’s really happening inside the construction industry right now, this video breaks it down.
