Builder in Dromana and Safety Beach

Building on the hillside and the flats

Dromana and Safety Beach offer two very different kinds of site. Up on the Arthurs Seat escarpment, blocks are steep with sweeping views across Port Phillip Bay, which means careful planning for access, cut and fill, retaining walls and stormwater. Closer to the water, sites are flatter but often sandy, with higher groundwater and coastal exposure to plan for.

Hillside properties can also sit under landscape, vegetation and bushfire controls. We work with your architect or designer early so these are resolved in the design and the price, not discovered once work starts.

Questions from Dromana and Safety Beach owners

Does a steep block add much to the cost?

It can, through retaining, footings and access, but the costs are predictable when they are planned early. We give buildability and cost feedback while the design is still flexible.

Do you work with our own architect?

Yes. Most of our custom homes start with an architect's design, and we are happy to meet you both at concept stage. We also offer design and construct if you don't have a designer yet.
