Custom Homes, Built to the Detail
A new home should be built the way it was drawn. Build One builds architect-designed custom homes across Melbourne, from Toorak and Kew to Brighton and the Mornington Peninsula. Our own carpenters frame and finish it, our sister company ARKO Joinery makes the kitchens and built-ins, and one team runs your build from first meeting to handover.
What we build
- Architect-designed new homes: one-off homes built to the drawings, not adapted from a standard plan.
- Double-storey and multi-level homes: complex structure, voids and stairs done properly.
- Coastal and peninsula homes: built for the conditions, finished like a city home.
- Homes with full joinery packages: kitchens, wardrobes, vanities and feature joinery made in our own workshop.
Why Build One
- Our own carpenters. Your home is framed and finished by tradespeople we employ, not subcontractors we met last week.
- In-house joinery. Kitchens, wardrobes and built-ins come from our sister company, ARKO Joinery, keeping quality and timing under one roof.
- Early involvement. We work with your architect or designer from the start, picking up cost issues before they're locked into the drawings.
- Fixed-price or cost-plus — your choice. We'll walk you through both and recommend the contract that suits your project, your budget certainty and how involved you want to be in selections.
- Proven track record. Builders on The Block (3 awards) and Dream Home.
