01 / Ethos
David Reid Homes Inner Adelaide

For twenty years we have built homes designed for their site and remembered long after the trucks leave. From the Hills to the coast, that work is led by Laksh Bains and the Inner Adelaide team.

02 / Building in the Hills

Built for the block,
not the catalogue

The Adelaide Hills rewards a custom approach. We are specialists in acreage homes with room to breathe, and we design for sloping blocks so the land works for you, not against you. We also build full custom homes and knockdown rebuilds for families who love where they live. Whatever your block, we turn its slope, trees and outlook into the design’s best features.

Common Questions
Do you build acreage homes in the Adelaide Hills?

Yes, acreage is our specialty in the Hills. Space changes what a home can be: wings instead of storeys, sheds and studios, outdoor living that follows the sun, and a design that frames the outlook you bought the land for. We design for the whole site, not just the house pad.

Can you build on sloping Hills blocks?

Yes. Slope is the defining feature of most Hills sites, and it rewards custom design: split levels, undercrofts and terraced outdoor spaces all come from the fall of the land. We design and engineer for the site from day one rather than cutting and filling it flat.

Which Adelaide Hills towns do you build in?

We build throughout the Hills, including Stirling, Aldgate, Crafers, Bridgewater, Hahndorf, Nairne, Woodside and Mount Barker, along with the surrounding districts. If you are not sure whether we reach your area, get in touch and we will connect you with your nearest David Reid Homes builder.

Do you build in bushfire-prone parts of the Hills?

Yes. Much of the Adelaide Hills carries bushfire requirements, and we design and specify to the rating that applies to your site: construction detail, materials and glazing all follow from it. The assessment happens early, so the design and the budget reflect it from the start.

Laksh Bains

For Laksh Bains, building is personal. He leads David Reid Homes Inner Adelaide with a real passion for the craft and a simple belief: a home should feel like it could only ever belong to the people who live in it.

That passion shows in the details, in the way he listens before he draws, and in a hands-on approach that stays with your build from the first sketch to the final handover. Laksh and his close-knit team do things differently, because it is their people that make the difference.
