a) Burswood suburb is chosen for the purpose of building the dream house. The people
prefer to stay in the suburbs instead of the city covered in vehicles and concrete. Hence
the suburbs are chosen on the basis of what a person is looking for as the neighborhood.
Burswood is chosen as it is on the banks of the river Swan (Oke & Middle, 2016). It is
situated close to the Perth Central Business district of Australia. It has an excellent
commutation form the city, eleven minutes from by car and 27 minutes by the public
transportations. The Perth Stadium along with the Crown Perth and the Belmont Park
Racecourse is present here (Foster, Hooper, Knuiman & Giles-Corti, 2016). Maximum
houses here are present within the reach of the park and the rest are near by the
educational institutions. It is an excellent place to reside. The most important thing to
consider while choosing a suburb is the location of the supermarket. One of the renowned
supermarket of Australia, Woolworths is just 1.9 KM from the Burswood. The Como
Primary School, Curtin University and many more educational institutes are situates
within 10 minutes distance from Burswood. Hence, this is the perfect suburbs to be
chosen for building a dream home (Knox, 2015).
b) The size of the land required for building a house totally depends upon the requirement of
the individual. If a house consisting of two bedrooms, a kitchen island, a drawing room
two washrooms and a ground is built, a plot size of 3000 sq. feet is preferable. Here, a
land size of 3000 square feet has been chosen in order to build the dream home. For a
family of two that is enough for a comfortable open garden of 500 square feet and a
garage of 400 square feet. There are two ways of choosing the building type, they are
building kit and normal building procedure. The building kit houses are usually cheaper

as only the house is built and the furnishing the house comes later and has to be done by
the owner. Building the houses as normal construction covers all the coverings and
furnishing of the house. The budget can be done on the basis of that. There is an amount
of down payments that has to be made while purchasing the land. $2000 in Australian
currency has to be paid as the value of the land contract after which Pre Work
Construction contract is signed along with a deposit of the $2000. Both the amount are
returned to the Client if financial approval is unachieved.
c) Building a house is one time investments and it is always desirable to get it done by the
best builders of all time to build the dream home. Ventura Home Group is one such
builder that has been considered for building this house. Ventura Home Group is one of
the West Australia and Perth’s greatest home builders. The company was established in
the year of 1994 and since then it has won many awards for its performance, the latest
award won in the year 2018. This builder group comprises of many skilled workers and
has an experience of over 20 years now. They also build smart houses. There are
primarily three things to consider while choosing a builder for a house that is a
company’s ability to build latest houses, the company’s ability to judge the community
and build the house in accordance to that and lastly, the builder is capable of making
space out of the smallest plot size for yard. The Ventura Home Group fulfills them all.
Thus this is the company perfect for building the dream house for the family planning to
move to the suburbs of Perth.
d) The stake holders for the project are the ones who are involved in building of the house.
This includes the builder, the owner and many more. The list of the stakeholders for the
‘dream house’ is given below along with their roles and responsibilities (Ho, 2016).
