Who we are

We are a family business dating back to the 70’s with over 80 years of full time hands on experience as builders between us.

We meet our enquiring customer on their chosen block of land, or we meet to discuss land choices and if necessary research the availability of land through our network.

Most customers have chosen a block of land for fundamental reasons; schools, sports, shops, work and the general amenity of the area. Often a customer has bought a site because it felt right.

We allow your chosen block of land to take the lead role of guiding us to develop a design based on what it tells us, perhaps almost dictating what is ideal for you. The Sun’s path during a cold winter’s day or a very hot summer’s day is important to us. We consider that many designers do not get this right and do not put the effort in to make it work. Clients are somewhat ignorant of how important this can be and are focused on more tangible obvious features that stand out.

Whilst you will define the guidelines of what appointments you require, your chosen site is paramount to what can be achieved for you.

Our Process

The process of creating your design and polishing your unique concept is exciting. We welcome and encourage our clients to be involved in our process. Our process remains exciting for us as our many years of experience allows us to continue to create a truly unique home for you.

As our client you will have total choice as to how much involvement you want to enjoy. A large level of client input is as welcome as a minimal level however to achieve a great result our clients should be prepared to invest their time and be committed.

Our clients become excited with our process of creating their new home design and are always eager for their next meeting with us. It is not difficult when the design phase is approached as a team effort. Together it is not difficult.

Customers may have difficulty taking the first step to identify who they want to be involved with. There are many issues that are paramount. Industry knowledge, design quality, design efficiency, design effectiveness, construction time, subcontractors, choices of quality materials, and not to be ignored affordability and price.

We discuss at length what you expect within your nominated budget. Price is always a concern to customers until they become our client. We are very transparent on costs. As we have used the same suppliers and subcontractors for many years we have established volume pricing. We guarantee that we use our actual buying cost to establish your contract price.

Construction

Our construction time is controlled and very reasonable as we do not contract more than is responsibly achievable. Your individual design will be delivered in a contracted maximum period of sixteen weeks once approvals are in place.

This is based on a 400 square meter double storey home, but the contract time must take material choices and complexity into consideration. Most of our customers become our clients based on the design that is uniquely created for them by us.
