With years of experience and numerous successful projects completed, we understand that building a custom home requires careful planning and attention to detail right from the start.
Before you engage a building designer, it’s essential to assess your block to ensure your design will maximise your land’s potential. We can coordinate the necessary surveys and reports or connect you with local town planners or developer for site-specific advice. Key assessments may include:
To confirm official property lines in new developments/estates, ensuring your design adheres to regulations.
For new developments/estates, to ensure your design adheres to regulations.
To confirm official property lines, ensuring your design adheres to regulations.
To map the elevation changes across your block, helping design a home that suits the natural landscape.
To identify existing utilities such as sewer, stormwater, or telecommunications infrastructure that could affect your design.
To determine if your site needs elevation or specific design considerations to comply with council regulations.
We work closely with you and your building designer throughout the design phase, offering valuable insights into pricing, durability, and buildability. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions that balance your design aspirations with practical construction considerations, ensuring your home is not only beautiful, built to last but also affordable.
with any custom designed homes, a full set of structural design/engineering is required. We will organise this for you.

Building a custom-designed home allows you to create a space that reflects your individual taste, lifestyle, and needs, while also maximising the potential of your specific block. You can position windows to avoid the harsh western sun and place your alfresco on the northern side to take advantage of natural light, creating a more passive and energy-efficient home. This level of personalisation ensures that your home is not only unique but also practical and suited to its environment. Additionally, custom homes have historically sold faster and achieved higher rental yields compared to standard homes, making them a strong investment in both liveability and future value.
