About Pakenham

Yes! We can tailor our designs to suit your location, lifestyle and personal style. We often find it’s best to start with one of our plans, we can help decide which plan suits your vision and site location during our initial consultation.

We start all our projects with a complimentary consultation to give you confidence and peace of mind in selecting the right land and home design for you and your family. Following our initial meeting, we book a complimentary on-site inspection at your future build site to gather all the information we need to start designing your dream home and provide an accurate price estimate. Our primary objective of our site inspection is to understand requirements based on the unique landscape of the area, which includes everything from assessing soil conditions, to identifying which home designs suit your desired orientation. After the price estimate have been accepted, we follow a simple step-by-step process to deliver your dream home from conception design to handover day.
