The Home Build Success Formula
Our framework for successful renovations, extensions, and new builds ensures every aspect of your project is thoroughly considered. We work with you to align your vision, budget, and lifestyle goals by focusing on four key pillars: Feasibility, Buildability, Durability, and Liveability. This approach streamlines the process, maximises value, and delivers a home that meets your needs both now and in the future.
The Four Key Pillars:
FEASIBILITY
Early feasibility assessments provide a clear understanding of the total investment and its impact. This ensures your project goals and inclusions align with your budget, helping you maximize value and avoid unnecessary costs and budget blowouts.
BUILDABILITY
This encompasses everything from planning and permits to material selection and construction methods. By choosing the right people, processes, and products, we ensure your design vision is preserved while achieving the highest build quality and finish, and proactively work with you to prevent delays and rework.
DURABILITY
Every decision during the build process impacts the final result. Prioritising quality materials, advanced techniques, and skilled professionals minimises future problems and lowers long-term maintenance and operational expenses. This approach ensures a home with lasting build quality, character, and visual appeal.
LIVEABILITY
We ensure your completed home enhances your lifestyle, whether it's accommodating a growing family, entertaining family and friends, or simply enjoying your space. Prioritising liveability means every decision reflects what's most important to you, now and into the future.

Testimonials
Mount Eliza, Victoria
"What started with a leaking roof moved onto an incredible renovation. We picked Emerald Build as we felt Tim wasn’t your average builder and were impressed with his creativity to our project, constantly coming up with ideas of what to do. Hard to do a renovation through COVID. Delighted with the end result."

"Tim, Marc and their team did a fantastic job on the extension to our 1960s house. There were many existing issues with the structure of the house which needed rectification as the works progressed. The Emerald Build team and their subbies were excellent. They identified issues as they encountered them, talked through solutions with us, listened to our ideas and opinions, fixed the issues and completed the new works to a very high standard.
Their attention to detail and care in undertaking the works were as good as I have seen in my 40 plus years as a professional engineer. The Emerald Building team were all polite, considerate and friendly and took great care around and in our house during the work.
Tim and Marc were proactive in organising the works and in their communication with us. They were a pleasure to work with. We are very pleased with the outcome of the works and highly recommend Emerald Build.

"Our build started just before Covid and like everyone else, we encountered all the building industry
problems that resulted, plus a few more unforeseen issues. Throughout this time, Tim and Mark were
approachable and worked with us to problem solve and come up with solutions, which has resulted in the
beautiful family home we now have."

Tim and his team are amazing! Professional, hard working, and always paying attention to detail. We are coming to the final stages of a large renovation - a full gut reno, re-cladding, new roof and new garage/gym. Tim has been able to keep the project on track and provide an excellent result all along the way. We would highly recommend Emerald Building Services.
