What Is a Custom Home Builder? What They Do and Who They Suit in Perth
A custom home builder designs and builds a home to your plans on your land. See what they do, what you can customise and who they suit in Perth.
A custom home builder designs and builds a home to your plans, on your land, with your choice of layout, fittings and finishes, instead of selling you a fixed design from a catalogue. In Perth, BD Living Pty Ltd builds custom homes as single storey, double storey and knockdown rebuild projects.
What does a custom home builder do?
A custom home builder manages the whole project from the first conversation to the keys. The main stages are:
- Consultation: assessing your land, goals and budget.
- Design: preparing plans that suit your block. We offer architectural plans preparation and 3D planning with Archicad so you can see the design before building.
- Approvals: lodging and managing council approvals and permits.
- Construction: building the home and coordinating the trades.
- Handover: a final inspection and a home ready to live in.
What can you customise?
- The layout and number of storeys, from a single storey house to a luxury double storey custom home.
- The fittings and finishes you choose for the interior and exterior.
- The way the home sits on your block and uses natural light and outdoor space.
Who is a custom home builder for?
A custom home builder suits owners who already have a block, owners replacing an older house through a demolish and build project, and owners who want a design that fits their land and lifestyle rather than a standard plan. If you want more space in a home you already own, a home extension may fit better.
How is a custom builder different from a volume builder?
A custom builder designs around you and your block, while a volume builder sells a set range of designs. We compare the two in detail in boutique vs volume builders in Perth.
