Custom Home Builder Jan Juc

Jan Juc is known for its dramatic coastline, natural bushland, and stunning ocean views, and the homes here are just as striking. As a custom home builder we’ve designed and built many custom homes in Jan Juc over the years, and they’re not just impressive because of the view. They’re a reflection of smart, site-specific design. Cutting edge, tailored to your vision, and designed for the way you live.

Jan Juc offers rugged natural landscapes and the convenience of being just a short drive from Geelong. But building here comes with its own set of challenges. From strong coastal winds and salt exposure to steep blocks and reactive soils, designing the right home takes experience, creativity, and technical knowledge.

Here’s what we consider from day one:

• Durable, low-maintenance materials. We select exterior finishes that can handle salt air, sea winds, and moisture without compromising on style or longevity.
• Engineering for sloping blocks. Many Jan Juc blocks aren’t flat, and that’s where our experience shines. We collaborate with engineers to use stepped foundations, retaining walls, and split-level layouts that maximise views while keeping your build structurally sound.
• Navigating design guidelines and council requirements. Whether it’s height limits, setbacks, or neighbourhood character controls, we know the local rules and take care of the details so your project keeps moving and your home looks like it belongs.

Whether you’re after a relaxed beach house or a bold architectural home with a more dramatic presence, we’ll guide you through a tailored design and build process that brings your vision to life.
