About us

With Build by Design, you’ll get the support you deserve for the home you want.

From day one, we do everything we can to help you get the most out of your investment.

In fact, we’re so determined to get your home right for you, yours will be just one of 30 we’ll commit to building in a year, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

With a personalised planning process we can work with you to design a home that meets your lifestyle, and once your build is underway, we’ll keep you updated with its progress with total openness and transparency.

Because we’re not here to build everyone’s house. We’re here to build your home.
