Our design team have been busy over the summer - and the result is a stunning new take on the popular Shoreham 16. The original split-skillion Shoreham range has long been a favourite of our clients, and the addition of this fresh new design means there are now facade options to suit every taste.

Here, we’ll take a closer look at the bold and subtle changes that have come together to create a new look for the Shoreham 16.

So, you’ve finalised your design, organised the required preliminary reports and planning applications, and your contract and building permit are signed off and ready to go... it’s now time to build!

The construction phase is where modular homes really excel, as typically, this part of the process only takes around 8 weeks, which is generally much faster than a standard conventional build.

This 8-week timeframe, from factory commencement to delivery on site, is based on an average-size standard home – but every project is unique, and so it can vary. For example, smaller homes can be built even faster, while larger or custom designed homes can take longer.

Here we’ll take a closer look at what’s happening with your home during those 8 weeks, so you can see how it comes together.

If you’re looking for a stylish and spacious home for you and your family, our 4-bedroom Barwon modular home could be the perfect fit. With a strikingly modern two-storey design, and a range of smart and luxurious features as standard, the Barwon provides ample space for growing families to share, plus plenty of room for privacy too.

Stunning on the inside and out, it makes a statement in any urban setting. Here are a few of the highlights.

In today’s design focus article, we’re taking a closer look at the Anglesea. It’s two-storey design, features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, so there’s plenty of room for growing families. The Anglesea is also a popular choice as a holiday home, or for retiring couples looking for a home big enough to have the whole family stay, as it can comfortably accommodate up to three couples, or multiple family groups.

Here’s a snapshot of the highlights.

If you’re part of a growing family, your current home can suddenly seem small and lack the space and features you need.

Whether it’s an extra bedroom (or two), a second bathroom or living area, more storage space, or all of the above, it may be time to take the plunge and build a new family home.

When building a new home, there’s lots to consider. From choosing the right location, to finding a design with family-friendly features, it’s important to do your research so that your new home meets your needs for many years to come. Think about the things you love in your current home and those you would like to change, and have a clear idea of how many bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces you need – and where you’d like them to be located.

This week our Design Focus blog series takes a closer look at the Tambo 3-bedroom home. The Tambo packs a lot of features into its medium size, and it’s a popular choice for small families looking for a stylish, yet cosy home. It also makes an ideal holiday house, with a design that allows you to take full advantage of the surrounding views and outdoor space.
