How we help you to gain clarity, and bring your design ideas to life With decades of experience building custom homes to the highest European standards, we bring a unique flair to the process of designing your new home, renovation or extension.
And by partnering closely with our preferred recommended designer, we endeavour to ensure your design inclusions will fit in your construction budget.
What’s more, we have a European eye for detail, often making small suggestions that can lead to noticeable improvements in maximising sun exposure, comforting warmth in winter, a coolness in summer and a healthier, happier home with clean fresh air and no harmful pollutants.
Unlike many builders who are disjointed from the design experience, we consult with the designer to resolve any issues, and ask questions we’re told ‘no other builder would’ to prevent headaches before they become an issue.
Here’s What Our Clients Have To Say About Extending and Renovating With Us

With 23 years of experience in both the European and Australian building industries, we’ve seen first-hand many of the health and structural issues with building to the minimum Australian industry standards, which can leave you with:
- A home full of draughts which compromise your comfort all year round and hike up your heating and cooling expenses.
- A substandard home full of cheap quality or even second hand materials from a builder scrimping and saving due to a lowball (or miscalculated) contract price he’s locked into.
- A home that ‘leaks’, leading to poor air quality, mould and fungal growth which eventually eats away at the timber framing.
There are 10 factors which make us different:
1. European Standard Build Quality & Craftsmanship.
Hailing from Scotland, Arran knows European building practices intimately, which means you’ll get a home built with meticulous attention to detail that will be the envy of your street.
2. Homes that are Healthier With Year Round Comfort
A properly sealed and draft free build that will never sweat or create hidden mould or damp issues. This is critical if someone in your family suffers from respiratory conditions like asthma, as it ensures cleaner air, with no VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).
3. The Guidance You Didn’t Realise You Needed.
We’ll guide you through the entire process, sharing our expertise and experience at every step & pointing out the options, ideas, material recommendations or potential headaches you hadn’t even considered.
4. Sole Focus of The Builder / Deal directly with the owner.
Unfortunately many larger builders are building dozens of homes at once, so you end up dealing with staff - not the owner. If you can’t find a builder who is willing to give your new home full priority attention, how can you be confident everything is on track? We only ever build 1-2 homes at a time, so we can ensure your home is a priority.
5. A Methodical Approach, With No Inconvenience.
Before we even begin, your whole project is mapped out in our project management platform which includes every single detail down to the final inspection - so you can be assured the quality of workmanship in your new home will be in a league of its own.
6. We Ask the Questions No Other Builder Does.
We’ll work hand in hand with the architect, engineers and all the necessary consultants through your entire build process - and will ask the questions no other builder does to ensure you get precisely what you want, without having to compromise on your vision.
7. An Enjoyable Stress Free Experience From Day One.
Building can be a stressful time, which is why our relationship is our first priority, including open communication. Coupled with private access to our online project management platform, you’ll know precisely what’s happening at all times, and be able to track progress with the click of a button. The end result: a “wow factor” home you can’t wait to show off to your friends and family.
8. Transparent Pricing, Processes and Project Management.
We’ll price your project with specific, itemised precision so you know everything has been accounted for upfront. Openness and transparency are the foundation of trust, which is why you’ll receive a thorough explanation of our process and unfettered access to track the project in your client portal.
8. Free Expert Guidance At Every Step.
Building your own home can be intimidating if you’ve never gone through it before. That’s why we offer a Free Initial Design Concept Call where you can get advice specific to your situation, and discover how to get more for your investment, without the hassles.
9. A One-Of-A-Kind Home, Unique To You.
Instead of pre-designed plans and templates, we work with you so you’re crystal clear from the beginning on the vision for your new home, so we can build it from the ground up. No compromises. No restrictions. No settling.
