DISTINCT CUSTOM HOME FEEL WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF ENGAGING DESIGNERS

With decades of experience in crafting sophisticated homes in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, Brownhill Homes has curated an impressive collection of house designs that provide the distinct feel of a custom home without the need to start from scratch. By selecting one of our existing floor plans, you gain a solid foundation that we then personalise to create a home uniquely tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.

designed by locals, for locals

Our homes are designed by locals, for locals, ensuring that each detail reflects the unique character and lifestyle of the community. Our team understands the nuances of the area, from architectural styles that harmonise with the surroundings to features that cater to the needs of local residents. This local insight allows us to create spaces that not only feel like home but also resonate with the spirit of the neighbourhood, fostering a sense of belonging and pride. By prioritising the voices and preferences of the community, we deliver homes that truly reflect the heart of local living.

designed by locals, for locals

Our Design + Construct range has been designed by locals, for locals. We’ve created a design for every lifestyle or family situation, tailored perfectly to fit within the local community and environment. These aren’t your typical ‘one size fits all’ house plans – in order to accommodate your unique character, we’ve made sure that they can be tailormade exactly to your taste. These predesigned plans are flexible to your desires, allowing us to find a design suited to your lifestyle and tweak it to meet your preferences. This isn’t merely limited to selections and finishes, as we give you the option to customise the floorplan and overall design in the early stages of your build.

Design services

As a premier luxury home builder, our in-house architect and designers are dedicated to tailoring your space to your exact specifications. With years of experience in the design and construction industry, we offer valuable insights that enhance your vision. We conduct in-depth consultations to explore your dream home, specific requirements, and desired features. Throughout the design process, we maintain open lines of communication, ready to implement any changes or adjustments as needed. The ultimate goal is to create a home that perfectly balances functionality and aesthetics, capturing your unique style with flawless execution.

A TRIED & TESTED PROCESS

Over the years, we’ve cultivated a tried and tested process that allows us to progress from conception to completion with ease, all the while catering to your unique needs along the way. Our process emphasises expert guidance, transparency, and clear communication to ensure your home goals are not only met, but exceeded. Keep reading to discover how we offer a tailormade building experience.

1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a meeting to discuss your needs and preferences for the home you wish to design and construct, including layout, materials, and specifications. We recommend bringing photos or designs that can help convey your vision to Brownhill Homes. This stage of the process focuses on understanding the land requirements based on our research and informing you of what is necessary for designing a house on the chosen block.
2. Design
You’ll collaborate with your dedicated home building team to share your must-haves and preferences with our architect. Drawing on our design and construction expertise, as well as our pricing insights, you’ll embark on the journey of designing your new custom home or development. Through multiple meetings, we’ll refine your ideas into floor plans and external elevations that align with your vision. We encourage you to bring photos or designs that inspire you, as they can help us understand your aesthetic. Our team will work closely with you to identify the plan that best suits your family and make any necessary adjustments along the way.
3. Selections
Our dedicated team will assist you in choosing the selections that will make your new home unique to you! From the finest fittings and fixtures to beautiful colours and materials, there is endless potential to customise your new home – no matter the plan or budget.
4. Tender
A detailed cost estimate is arranged for you to oversee based on your design, selections and needs. At this stage, you’ll be able to make any significant changes before contracts are signed and construction begins for a small $3,000 fee.
5. Contract Signing
Using the Master Builders template, we’ll draw up a detailed but easy-to-read contract for you. Our contract includes a transparent breakdown of costs and everything you need to know about your specific project.
6. Construction
We begin working on your dream project! We keep you up to date with regular on-site visits and phone calls. We’ll send you photos, videos and other updates accessible via our online client portal. We’ll keep in close communication throughout the build to make sure you’re happy with how your dream home is progressing.
7. Landscaping Design
While the construction is near to completion, we make sure that every aspect of your property is left beautiful and spotless. We also offer landscaping services to go well with your facade and create a beautiful backyard to create lasting memories. There are no limits to what we can do for your landscaping. We specialise in softscapes such as trees, gardens with shrubs and flowers, and lawns to bring colour, texture, and life to your yard. We also offer hardscape landscaping like pergolas, water features, and patios to make your yard not only beautiful but functional, ready to host from day one.
8. Handover
Once the home has been completed, you’ll receive the keys to your beautiful new dream home. As a comprehensive turnkey service, your house will be ready to live in as soon as we hand you the keys to your new dream home. Our involvement doesn’t end there, however – we’ll attend to any issues or defects three months after you receive the keys. And as a new member of the Brownhill community, we’ll stay in touch for years to come!
