What’s Included in a Hallmark home?

11 August 2025

With the excitement of building a brand-new home comes a seemingly endless list of planning considerations. Even before selecting your preferred design and construction company, it is crucial to have a full understanding of the standard inclusions that form part of their various home packages. In other words, what does the “base price” of the home include vs. what must you budget for separately?

Why New Home Inclusions Matter

The fact is that not all builders offer the same level of standard inclusions in their home designs. Prospective homeowners are advised to request a written new home inclusions checklist to ensure that their needs are catered for in the base price. This is the only way to decide which builder offers the best value for money, and to ensure there are no hidden cost surprises down the track.

Hallmark Homes’ inclusion packages

At Hallmark Homes, our commitment is to providing our clients with transparent home options, allowing you to have full control over both cost and lifestyle. Each of our inclusion packages represents real quality and value, with a list of high-end features as standard, such as European kitchen appliances.

So, whether you select our Harmony package, which is focused on style, practicality, and great value, or our premium Inspire Luxury package for that extra touch of carefully curated luxury, you can rest assured that your home inclusions will be of the highest quality.

This, combined with our renowned level of service and expertise, has made Hallmark Homes the acreage home designer and builder of choice in South East Queensland.
