The home your
street remembers

Every custom home is priced to its design, site and inclusions, so there is no single figure. Where yours lands depends on the block, the size and complexity of the design, and the finishes you choose. Rather than start with a number, we start with your brief, then prepare a detailed itemised quote so you can see exactly what your home includes before you sign anything.

A custom home typically takes 12 to 24 months from first conversation to handover, including design and approvals. Approval time depends on your pathway and your local council, while construction itself commonly runs 9 to 14 months for a bespoke home. We manage the approvals and give you a realistic timeline for your block before contract.

Yes, knockdown rebuilds are a large part of what we build. If you love your street but have outgrown the house, demolishing and rebuilding lets you stay put and get a brand new home designed for your block. We assess the block first, including overlays, easements and services, so you know what is possible before you commit.

Yes, challenging sites are some of our most rewarding work. Blocks in the region often come with slope, acreage, heritage conservation areas or bushfire (BAL) ratings, and each of those shapes the design and engineering. A home designed for its site usually lives better than a standard plan forced onto the wrong block. We design around the site from day one rather than flattening it to suit a catalogue plan.

We build custom homes across the Southern Highlands and the Southern Highlands, including Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Berrima, Burradoo, Robertson and the surrounding highlands, and can talk to you about projects in nearby areas. Your David Reid Homes team manages every build personally rather than through a head office construction team.

No, you do not need a block of land to start the conversation. Many of our clients come to us before they buy, and it is often the best time to talk. We can discuss options for land, what to look for based on the home you want to build, and the things that affect cost and design such as slope, orientation, access and council overlays. If you are considering a specific block, we can assess it with you before you commit.

A custom builder designs and builds a one-off home for your block; a volume builder repeats a set range of standard plans at scale. With a volume builder you choose from a catalogue and change little. With us, you can start from a blank page or tailor an existing design, and customise every part of the home with no restrictions. And because David Reid Homes is a national network, we hold national agreements with high end brands and products, so you get the benefit of our national buying power with the flexibility of a truly custom build, and the same local builder accountable to you from design through to handover.
