Project builders are usually large building companies that build hundreds of homes a year from a variety of pre-designed plans. Typically, they provide standard floor plan designs, materials and fixtures and finishes for you to choose from. Their focus is primarily on volume and getting a house built fast.
Custom builders are typically smaller building companies who carry out a small number of projects a year. Custom builders will tailor your home to your specific design requirements and needs, parcel of land and lifestyle. As a custom home builder, Laing Homes always delivers a personalised collaborative service that results in a smooth construction process and a flawless finished product.
The biggest benefit of a custom home is that you can create your ideal home instead of being restricted by a limited choice of floorplans and finishes. You can choose any layout, any finishes, and any features you can envisage (depending on your budget and any site restrictions).
Typically, you usually get a better built home as well, as most custom builders use higher quality materials and more experienced tradespeople when building your home. At Laing Homes, only select the finest trades and materials suppliers to ensure your home stands the test of time
At Laing Homes, we specialise in building affordable, high quality custom homes by controlling all the elements of your build from design to completion. We use the design phase to create a detailed plan for your home with our inhouse drafting facility – fixtures and fittings included – and carry out detailed site investigations so there are no (costly) surprises at the build stage.
Firstly, we talk about your vision and work out what a comfortable, realistic budget is for you. We then work with you closely to design a home that fits your budget. We also carry out thorough preliminary site investigations and testing before developing a comprehensive quote.
Yes! Every single one of our custom homes prioritises sustainability from the ground up, making use of factors like insulation, double-glazed windows, passive design, sustainable materials and energy-efficient appliances. Incorporating these elements not only reduces energy bills but also makes your space more comfortable and environmentally friendly. Contact us today to find out more.
At its simplest, there are four main stages to building a custom home:
- We discuss your vision: At an initial meeting, we talk about what your dream home looks like and sketch up a realistic budget.
- We create a detailed design: Working closely with you, we design a home with your desired customisation and extras that fits your budget.
- We finalise the price: We carry out thorough site investigations and develop a fixed-price contract. No hidden costs or extras!
- We build your dream home: We manage all elements of the build, including arranging the necessary building approvals and certifications, trades management, keeping you updated and ensuring an extremely streamlined build schedule.

At Laing Homes, we pride ourselves on being flexible and strive to accommodate your needs of clients.

You’re always welcome to visit the site. However, we do require you to make an appointment and be accompanied by a builder’s representative for safety reasons.
