Will you build a home designed by someone else?

Yes. We can certainly work with plans done by another designer/builder/architect. We also provide guidance and advice on other designs to get them back on track - it's led to some of our greatest projects. Head to the Contact Us page to upload plans or ask any queries.

How much will a house cost to build? Do you have a set square metre rate?

The cost to build will ultimately depend on the size of the home and the quality of materials used. As we custom build bespoke architectural designs, square metre rates usually fall between $15k to $25k per house square. For more details, please visit our Cost to Build page.
