Why don’t you provide a square meterage or per square rate?

This is a common question we hear a lot. As a custom home builder, we don’t have a set rate per square metre because every home, location, and client is different. The great thing about working with us is that you get to choose everything about your home – from the layout to the finishes.…
Other builders provide a free quote – why do you charge a fee?

You might be wondering why we charge for our quotes when some builders offer them for free. Well, here’s the thing: there’s a big difference between a simple estimate and a detailed proposal.

What are your payment terms, and how do you handle billing and invoicing?
