The Red Earth team on site at a home build in Elwood, Melbourne
Red Earth/Homeowners
For homeowners

Your project, built by the people who answer the phone.

Quality homes, architectural renovations and extensions for owners who want a premium building experience. Prioritising meticulous pricing and project management in order to ensure a superior finish delivered on time and on budget.

What it's like to build with us

Boutique by choice — so you always know who's responsible for your project.

We deliberately run a handful of jobs at a time. Director Paul Keeble trained as a carpenter before registering as a builder, and he still walks every site, ensuring the person bringing your vision to life is the person you met at the start.

You'll get a realistic price before you commit, a program you can plan your life around, and a single point of contact for every question.

We also know a build can be disruptive. We maintain a clean site, limit noise and keep neighbours informed, so life carries on.

01A price that holds

Detailed, itemised pricing with allowances explained, not a headline number that grows.

02One contact, start to finish

The same team from first meeting through to handover and beyond.

03Approvals handled

Consultants managed for you, so permits don't become your second job.

04Backed after handover

Defect and warranty work handled promptly if required.

What we build

From one room to the whole project.

01

New custom homes

Architect-designed or design-and-build, premium homes on your land, delivered to a program you can plan around.

02

Extensions & additions

Second storeys, rear additions and reworked plans that make an existing home finally function.

03

Renovations & interiors

Kitchens, bathrooms and whole-house renovations, including heritage homes handled carefully.

04

Repairs & rectification

Damp, cracking, leaks and past defects, diagnosed at the cause and put right.

05

Comfort & running costs

Whether your project is certified passive or not, it will be built using passive building principles, maximising the energy efficiency and comfort of every space.

The process

Four steps, plainly explained.

01 / MEET

Talk it through

We visit, listen and tell you honestly what's possible — and roughly what it costs.

02 / PLAN

Design & approvals

Drawings, consultants and permits coordinated, with pricing firming up as decisions are made.

03 / BUILD

Get it built

Supervised trades, regular updates and a site kept clean and safe — week by week.

04 / HAND OVER

Move in

A thorough handover, everything demonstrated, and warranty support you can actually use.
