As Brisbane home builders, BESA offers more than one way to build, from entirely custom and luxury homes to knockdown rebuilds and homes designed for sloping, narrow and flood-prone sites.
Some clients want to create something entirely custom. Others prefer to start with a considered BESA design and personalise it around their land, lifestyle and priorities.
With BESA homes typically ranging from $749K to $1.5M+, the right approach depends on what you want from your home, where you’re building and the level of design freedom you’re looking for.
Whichever path you take, we work through your home, inclusions and investment before construction begins, creating greater clarity for the build ahead.
Finding the right home shouldn’t mean endlessly scrolling through floorplan catalogues looking for something that’s almost right. If the standard options don’t suit your family, your land or the way you want to live, a custom home gives you the freedom to start with what matters to you.
BESA designs custom homes around your lifestyle and priorities, from how your family comes together and finds space apart, to entertaining, working from home, storage, outdoor living and the way your home responds to the block.
For those looking to take their home to another level, our luxury homes incorporate more premium materials, generous spaces and considered detailing. Stone benchtops, 3-metre ceilings, expansive glazing and other higher-level inclusions can all be considered as part of a home designed around you from the outset.
You may love your street, your neighbours, the schools and the lifestyle you’ve built around where you live. The home itself may no longer work for you. A knockdown rebuild lets you start again without starting somewhere else. Rather than trying to renovate around the existing home, you can start fresh and design around what your family actually needs, both now and in the years ahead.
BESA works with Brisbane homeowners through the knockdown rebuild process, from understanding the existing block and developing the right design through to demolition coordination, council approvals and construction. With the scope established before the build begins, a knockdown rebuild can also provide greater cost certainty than trying to renovate around the unknowns of an existing home. You also finish with a completely new home, built to current standards.
A narrow frontage doesn’t have to mean compromising on space or natural light. Thoughtful planning and smart floorplans can make better use of the available width, privacy, outlook and connection between indoor and outdoor living.
There is more than one way to build on a sloping block. Depending on the land and the home you want to create, BESA can consider split-level, stepped, elevated or other construction approaches to find the right balance between design, site conditions, council requirements and budget.
Building in a flood-prone area requires the home, land and relevant flood requirements to be considered together from the outset. BESA can help explore an appropriate design and construction approach while making the most of your block.
When comparing new home builders in Brisbane, the finished homes are only part of the picture. Look at independent reviews and speak with past clients where possible. You’ll get a better sense of what the builder is like to work with, how they communicate and the quality of their work. It’s also worth checking that they hold the appropriate Queensland Building and Construction Commission licence.
Think about your own project too. Has the builder worked with homes and blocks like yours before? Are they upfront about pricing? Do they have the design capability you need? BESA’s experience ranges from custom and luxury homes to knockdown rebuilds, as well as homes for sloping, narrow and flood-prone blocks.
There isn’t a single price for building a new home in Brisbane. The size and design of the home, your inclusions, site conditions and the amount of work needed to prepare the land can all affect the final cost. A detailed quote should also show any allowances, so you have a clearer picture of what is and isn’t included.
BESA homes typically range from $749K to $1.5M+, with each project considered individually. Understanding your land, priorities and intended investment early allows the design and inclusions to be developed with your budget in mind. BESA uses fixed-price contracts, providing greater cost clarity once the scope, site costs and inclusions have been established.
No. You can speak with BESA whether you already have plans, have collected ideas for the home you want, or are starting with a blank page.
There is also more than one way to build with BESA. You may start with a considered BESA design and personalise it around your lifestyle and land, or work with our team to develop an entirely custom home from the outset.
Yes. BESA has extensive experience designing and building homes for challenging blocks across Brisbane, including sloping sites, narrow frontages and land affected by flood requirements.
The right approach depends on the individual block and what you want from your home. Rather than assuming one construction method, we consider the land, design, site requirements, council requirements and budget together to determine an appropriate way forward.
BESA builds across Brisbane and select areas of South East Queensland, including select Gold Coast suburbs. Our experience includes established inner and middle-ring Brisbane suburbs as well as locations where sloping, narrow and other challenging blocks are common.
If you already have a block or are considering a particular suburb, speak with our team about your location and what you are planning to build.
You don’t need to own land before speaking with BESA. If you’re still searching, we can discuss the type of home you want to build, your preferred areas and your budget, helping you better understand what to look for in a potential block.
BESA also works with select buyer’s agents who can help clients identify suitable land and knockdown rebuild opportunities. This can be particularly valuable in established Brisbane suburbs, where the right building opportunity may be an existing property rather than vacant land.
Once you have identified a potential property, BESA can help assess the block from a building perspective and explore what may be possible before your plans progress too far.
Once construction starts, a custom home typically takes around eleven to twelve months. Work moves through set stages: slab, frame, weatherproofing, fit-out and finishing, with each stage reviewed properly before the next begins, so quality holds and the project keeps moving.
