From initial design through to moving in, most custom homes take 12-18 months:

– Design & approvals: 3-4 months
– Construction: 8-12 months
– Final inspections & handover: 2-4 weeks

Timeline varies based on home complexity, council approval timing, and weather. We provide a detailed schedule during your consultation and keep you updated throughout.

We specialise in the South Coast of NSW including the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Sapphire Coast. Our deep local knowledge of council requirements and building conditions in this area is one of our key strengths.

Our clients have the option to select our services for a professional interior designer/ selection specialist to assist in all selections, design aspects and colour choices for your new home right down to the furnishings if so desired.

We recommend getting financial advice on what you can afford before embarking on this journey, we need to know this so we can advise you if your budget and dreams align!! We will be upfront and honest with you so you don’t waste your time and money designing a home you can’t afford to build.

This obviously depends on the scale of the renovation works; however we find that if there are no areas of the home left untouched and with adding extra rooms to the home generally speaking it may be more cost beneficial to knock down and rebuild. In most cases renovation works will expose some underlying issues with the existing house which ultimately results in additional unforeseen cost to the owners, like termite damage or foundation issues, electrical or plumbing issues, if your existing home is old or run down it would also be more beneficial to knock down and rebuild in the long run.

Starting from scratch gives you a blank canvas to design your dream home that is more suited to your lifestyle and needs rather than trying to adapt an existing home with its current layout and limitations.

I recommend this type of project when the existing home is no longer suitable or desirable due to factors such as age, condition, layout and you want to maximise the location.
You can customise the design of the new home to meet your needs and preferences— with options for size, layout, style, and materials.

It can allow you to start fresh with a modern, energy-efficient design that may help you save money on utility bills and maintenance costs in the long run. A new home allows you to have greater control over the design which can improve your quality of lifestyle.
