Unique business model

Our business model revolves around creating a unique product that is tailored to each individual client which is finished to the highest quality. We understand that building a home is your single largest investment, so we have streamlined a process to ensure the process is smooth, stress free and an enjoyable experience for our client.

Sustainable building

We use sustainable building practices to minimise the environmental impact, in every project. We recycle almost every piece of material when taking down an existing home, and we choose to utilise recycled products where possible throughout the entire design and construct process.

We keep natural materials exposed wherever possible to reduce the total embodied energy and ultimately the carbon footprint impact on each project.

Team

Creating ongoing relationships

Freedom’s ultimate goal is to establish a trusting, ongoing relationship with each of our clients, throughout the entire design and build process. We want to ensure our clients have a positive and pleasant experience which they will always enjoy looking back on.

Freedom has long-standing relationships with regular suppliers to deliver some of the most innovative and unique homes. Our suppliers play an integral role in assisting us to deliver these projects to the highest standard possible.

Our team of draftsmen, architects, and interior designers are committed to providing you with the best possible support and guidance to ensure your project is a success from the very start.

We offer construction and project management services, as well as personalized guidance and support. We will be with you throughout the entire process to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and that you fully understand each step of the way.

  • If you're thinking about doing a knock-down rebuild, we totally get that you want to know what the costs will be before you dive in headfirst. It can be tough to give you an exact estimate without seeing detailed building plans, site complexities and inclusions, therefore we recommend working with a professional builder right from the start. We have a really experienced team who can give you accurate cost estimates at every stage of the design process.

  • Here at Freedom Built, we want to make sure that our projects are done right, without breaking the bank or taking forever to complete. That's why we limit the number of projects we take on each year and focus on delivering high-quality results.

    We understand the importance of timely delivery and go above and beyond to ensure that our clients can move into their new homes as soon as possible. With our tried and tested process, we estimate that a 250m2 family home can be built between 24-38 weeks, depending on the land complexities and build design.

    Our team is proud of the work we do and the process we have developed and we are confident that our clients will be thrilled with the outcome of their projects.

  • Absolutely! You will have regular site visits with your project manager. In case you need to visit the site outside of regular meetings, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll schedule a walk-through at a time that best suits your schedule.

    Safety is our top priority, and we take great care to maintain a safe work environment for our staff, contractors, and homeowners. Therefore, we kindly request that you be accompanied by a Freedom Built representative during your visit.

    We understand how important it is to keep track of the project's progress, and we'll do everything we can to meet your needs while ensuring a safe workplace for everyone involved.

  • Of course, it's definitely possible to make changes at this stage. However, we just want to make sure you're aware that any modifications may result in additional costs. Plus, some changes might need approval from the council, which could impact the budget as well as time frames. So, it's super important to let us know about any special requests before signing a contract. That way, we can avoid any unexpected surprises during construction.

    We totally get that you might change your mind about certain details, and we're here to help! Our builders are flexible and can suggest cost-effective solutions to make sure you're happy with the final result.

  • Getting your builder involved in the design process from the get-go is a smart move. It allows you to spot any potential problems upfront, stay on budget and schedule, and find affordable solutions. Plus, working hand-in-hand with your builder during the design process makes for a smoother build process and a final product that truly meets your needs.
