Absolutely. We specialise in building architect-designed homes and are experienced in working collaboratively with architects to ensure the design intent is honoured.

Changes are possible; however, we recommend that plans are finalised before the commencement of the build. Depending on the stage of construction, changes to plans may cause significant delays and increased costs.

We maintain regular communication with both you and your architect throughout the build, and we pay close attention to the details that make your home unique.

As much or as little as you like. Most clients enjoy being closely involved in selecting finishes and fixtures, but we can also guide you through the process if you prefer a more hands-off approach.

As a guide, our custom builds typically start from around $40,000 per square. Final pricing depends on size, complexity, level of finish and site conditions. We’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your plans and brief before construction commences.

Our contract outlines all inclusions (such as labour, materials, supervision, warranties) as well as exclusions (such as landscaping or furnishings, if applicable). Everything is clearly itemised in the build contract which you will review and approve before construction commences.

Any requested changes during construction are documented and priced before proceeding. We believe in full transparency—there are no hidden surprises.

Payments follow your building contract. We use an ABIC-based progress claim schedule rather than the standard ‘base/frame/lock-up/fix’ stages. During construction, claims are issued at the agreed intervals and certified by the contract administrator based on work completed.

Prior to handover, we complete a formal defect walkthrough and ensure all items are addressed to your satisfaction before keys are handed over.
