Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Semi-custom Melbourne Builder 10Jan 29, 2023 4:34 am Ostrich36 MrBlack Hey everyone, We're beginning our new home build journey (KDRB South East) - Looking to commence build towards end of 2023. We've looked at a lot of display homes in the various display villages and although we really likes one of the plans/builders, they unfortunately only do green fields and won't touch knockdown rebuilds. Now we're looking at semi-custom builders such as Carter Grange, Hallbury and Singh Homes. Would be interested in the community's thoughts/feedback regarding these builders, or if there are other builders in this range to check out. Cheers! Hi MrBlack, We are also in the same process (KDRB) and have so far talked to Glenvill, Mazzei and InForm. Have you looked at them and what were your thoughts? Keen to know what you found of other builders ie Hallbury, TA. Could I PM you? Building is such a headache at the moment. From what I gathered through conversations with those builders prices are increasing every month and most could only provide a figure +/- 10% If you are looking at Mazzei and InForm, prepare 2mil for your budget. “We normally won’t build below 2mil” quoted from one of their sales. Lol Re: Semi-custom Melbourne Builder 11Feb 07, 2023 11:08 am MrBlack how did you go in the end? Have you picked a builder? ostrich36 and what about yourself? We are currently considering Thomas Archer & Glenvill Homes so quite keen to hear any thoughts / interactions on them specifically. There are a lot of TA threads in this forum but not many on Glenvill (seems strange?). Especially considering Glenvill has been around for longer, and looks to have won heaps of awards as well. So I'm trying to get a feel of why. Price wise they seem broadly the same (maybe Glenvill is slightly higher). Custom process seems more 'fluid' and 'unlimited' with Glenvill though.

The reason why you don't have many Glenvill threads is because their collections range has only been on the market for 12-24 months, whilst TA's expression series which most of the TA threads are about (albeit heavily modified) has been a product offering for much longer. Whilst Glenvill has been in the industry a lot longer, their builds historically have been full custom and at a different price point. There are limited threads on TA's full custom offering and likewise not many (can't think of any) threads of Glenvill's.
