I work for a builder in SA. I would say in my experience dealing with people and having built myself, everyone thinks of going to the big project home builders because they seem to be cheaper initially, but they dont include HEAPS of stuff. I would work out exactly what you expect from the build and then shop around a few custom builders and maybe one big project builder. You just want to check they are all including for the same things because there can be big price differences in things that you may think are only small.
I know this is a bit late, but we've built twice, the most recent house our current house that we moved into in Nov 2010. We plan to build again in the future (so we haven't been too scared off lol). I agree with the others that you do need to ask lots of questions and keep on top of things, which can actually be very time consuming. If you still have any specific building questions, please ask
