We do this by continually researching, testing and applying advanced construction techniques and materials to find the ideal intersection between thermal performance, durability and affordability, all without sacrificing aesthetic appeal or functionality.

We deliver new builds, custom homes, extensions, renovations and restorations across the Bellarine Peninsula, working with homeowners and architects in Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and surrounding communities.

Our Services

New Homes

New Homes

There's nothing quite like a fresh start, clean slate, blank canvas. Complete control and no design restraints. Building new is a great experience with non of the unforeseen challenges of working with an old building. Having control of everything from the ground up gives us the ability to create an extremely efficient structure with no compromises.

Renovation Extension

Renovation Extension

When you've already got a structure that's worth keeping then a well thought out renovation/extension is a great option. As well as increasing the foot print to accommodate your needs, we can also remodel the interior lay out to better suit your lifestyle. While renovating there are also a lot of great options to upgrade the efficiency of the existing build to make it more comfortable, healthy and affordable to run.

Restorations

Restorations

Restoration projects come in all shapes and sizes. From internal only, where the main focus is often new service areas and upgrades to the insulation and sealing to increase the comfort and running cost. External only with a focus on re cladding, new windows and or roofing. And whole house restorations where both inside and out have seen their due by date but the original charm of the design is worth recreating in new materials and with modern building techniques.

The Experience

The construction of a new home is and should always be very exciting and rewarding. Daunting and sometimes hard work maybe, but this doesn’t mean the process cant be enjoyable. Builders, tradesmen, construction, for some people these works don’t bring back the fondest of memories or feelings.

We are passionate about changing that!

We put a lot of effort into the communication and presentation of the construction details, timelines and costs to give you the best understanding possible of all aspects of your project.

As experienced builders on the Bellarine Peninsula, we build homes because we love it. Creating beautiful structures is very satisfying work, but the biggest reward is hearing how happy our clients are living in the most comfortable and efficient home they have ever had.

Energy Efficient Homes

The innovative designs we have developed with local architects have achieved several benefits for both you and the environment we all live in.

With solar passive design, modern air sealing and insulating techniques along with new technology we can create an efficient low energy home which regulates temperature change, reduces condensation and mould, and is very comfortable to live in with no drafts or cold/hot spots.

By using less energy you’re able to reduce your impact on the environment and your wallet. For families across the Bellarine Peninsula looking to build smarter, more efficient homes, this approach pays dividends for years. If you need a professional home builder in Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff or surrounding suburbs, or you’d like to learn more about our energy efficient homes, speak to us today.
