Homes we design and build
New homes on flat and sloping blocks, extensions, and knockdown rebuilds. One price for design, permit and build.
What we build
Single storey homes
Three to five bedrooms on one level, on flat or gently sloping blocks. Easy to live in at every age.
Two storey homes
More garden on a smaller block: living rooms downstairs, bedrooms upstairs, and room for a study or a guest suite.
Homes on sloping blocks
Split levels and suspended floors that follow the ground, instead of cutting it flat and building retaining walls.
Extensions
Kitchens, family rooms and second storeys added to the house you have, while you keep living in it.
Knockdown and rebuild
Keep the street and the neighbours, lose the old house: demolition, permits and a new home on the same block.
Example prices, for homes built in 2026.
Eight stages, one fixed price
Each build stage ends with a check. You pay the progress payment for a stage only after it passes and you have walked it with your supervisor.
