Custom home builder on the Central Coast
New homes and knock-down rebuilds, planned around your site and budget, and built by a licensed local builder.
A new home, built around how you live
A custom home starts with the block. Orientation, slope, access, drainage, views and the neighbours all shape what works, and what it costs.
Dylan gets involved early, ideally before the plans are final, so the design suits your budget as well as your site. Then he and the team build it, from the slab to the day you move in.
At Gorokan, that meant taking a 1970s two-bedroom cottage and turning it into a two-level, four-bedroom family home with views to the lake.
