Project Gallery
Our focus is residential
Design Homes is a residential builder. New homes, duplexes and townhouses, custom builds, Queenslander renovations and home extensions across South East Queensland are what we do, and what our licence, our trades and our project management are built around.
We are straightforward about that because choosing a builder whose experience matches your project matters more than almost any other decision you make. A residential builder taking on unfamiliar commercial work serves nobody well.
If you have a project in mind, the fastest way to a useful answer is to send us the address and a description. We will tell you honestly whether it is work we are the right builder for.
Small-scale work we do take on
Where a project is residential in character and scale, we are generally the right fit. Multi-dwelling residential projects, dual occupancy developments and small townhouse schemes sit comfortably within what we do.
The same disciplines apply as on any of our work — fixed-price contracts backed by complete documentation, site investigation before quoting, and defined stage programs so that progress claims and finance drawdowns stay predictable.
For projects beyond that scale, we will say so rather than stretch a program we cannot hold. That is a better outcome for you and a better reference for us.
How we assess any enquiry
We start with the site. Zone and planning provisions, overlays, soil classification, services capacity and access all determine what is achievable and what it costs, regardless of the building type.
Then the brief and the program, because a realistic timeframe is part of a realistic price. Then whether our licence class, our trades and our capacity genuinely suit the work.
That conversation costs nothing and it is worth having early, because the most expensive version of this discussion is the one that happens after a contract is signed.
Common questions
Do you take on commercial construction?
Our focus is residential — new homes, duplexes and townhouses, custom builds, Queenslander renovations and extensions across South East Queensland. Send us details of your project and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right builder for it.
Do you build multi-dwelling residential projects?
Yes. Dual occupancy developments and small townhouse schemes sit comfortably within what we do, on the same fixed-price contracts and defined stage programs as our other work.
What licence do you hold?
We are QBCC licensed, and we are happy to provide our licence details so you can check the register, the class and the history yourself before signing anything.
How do I find out if my project suits you?
Send us the address and a description of what you have in mind. We will look at the site, the zoning and the overlays, and come back with a straight assessment before any fees are involved.
