Allura Homes

Safety for everyone at Allura Homes is a high priority, including our building sites and our client’s homes. In response to this Allura Homes has partnered with Guy Leech and HEART180 to have a defibrillator in Allura’s head office, in our site managers vehicles and our client’s homes.

We are the first residential builder in the world to work with HEART180 on its mission to have a defibrillator within 180 seconds of anyone experiencing a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).

Access to a defib within 180 seconds of someone having an SCA can be the difference between life and death.

Every new Allura Homes  client will receive a HEART180 defibrillator and a free online training session from Guy Leech and HEART180.

The interior design team at Studio Allura helps homes come alive.

As every Allura custom home is unique, with colours, fixtures and fittings that reflect your lifestyle and family, a visit to Studio Allura is the chance to see and interact with every element of your new home.

From bricks, paint and timber flooring to tapware, sinks, appliances and blinds, Studio Allura brings every Pinterest board or scrapbook to life.

The expert team will help you with every selection and manage the project plan, so the right decisions are made on time and on budget.

Our interior designers will also attend meetings when you visit suppliers, to provide assistance when making decisions on tiles, floor coverings, or even the perfect staircase for your home.

Our goal is to help you create a stunning custom home design that delivers a balance of style, practicality, and longevity.

10 steps to building with Allura
If you're considering the knockdown rebuild solution, the following outlines how simple we make it:

Step 1
Initial Consultation
We meet with you on-site to understand the block of land and your needs in a new home. We then prepare a comprehensive design and build budget including timelines, build program and design costs.

Step 2
Design
We develop concepts and full designs, then bring the plan to life in 2D and 3D drawings so you can virtually walk through your new home and make changes before it’s built.

Step 3
Cost
We prepare an accurate tender (proposal) and contracts, as well as a realistic budget for the entire process, from a knockdown to handing over the keys.

Step 4
Moving forward
We finalise the design with you and move forward with the process. Following this, steps five and six run concurrently.

Step 5
Selecting the finishes
We help you select finishes with our interior designer at Studio Allura and our supplier partner showrooms.

Step 6
Documentation
We complete final construction drawings, documentation and timelines, and manage the entire approval process through a private certifier (CDC) or your local Council (DA).

Step 7
Building and Safety
We take care of the demolition and all site preparation. Construction starts and we meet every month during the build. We value the safety of everyone involved in the project and follow strict protocols at every stage.

Step 8
We care about quality
We pay attention to every detail and pride ourselves on being the best custom home builder. Every Allura home also comes with an extensive warranty program.

Step 9
Welcome to your home
It’s now time to move in and enjoy your new Allura home.

Step 10
Allura in the community
Allura Homes have partnered with Guy Leech and HEART180 to have a defibrillator in Allura’s head office, in our site managers vehicles and our client’s homes.

Do you offer standard plans, or do you only build custom homes?
We offer both. You can build a home that Allura has already created, you can personalise that design to suit your own needs, or you can ask Allura to design a custom home unique to your family. Visit our Designs to learn more about Allura home designs.

Can I bring my own designs to Allura?
Yes, Allura will build your home from an existing plan, however, we find that designing a custom home with Allura’s in-house architect is a more viable option. Designing and building a home with Allura will help us all achieve the desired outcome that suits your budget. For clients that already have architectural plans, we will prepare a full budget and timeline. Architects are often not aware of building and materials costs, and in our experience, this is usually the more expensive path.

Can Allura take care of the demolition of my old home and take care of all approvals?
Yes. Once you have agreed on the plans, exterior and interior designs, then we can manage everything else. This includes all the paperwork for building approvals, the knockdown of your existing home, clean-up of your site after the home is finished, driveway, fencing, pool and landscaping. All you need to do is enjoy the experience.

Does Allura build pools and driveways, and organise landscaping?
Yes, Allura can build, organise and manage everything, in consultation with you.

What’s the cost of building with Allura?
Allura has built homes from $750K to $1.8M. Our expert team creates stunning custom-built homes to suit any block of land and lifestyle. While we have existing customised designs to help get the conversation started, we often start from scratch and design a home that’s unique to each client’s needs. Most importantly, the cost of your new Allura home will be decided on before we enter the approval process, so there are no hidden surprises throughout the journey.

How long is the process?
This can be influenced by the approval process required for your new home. The Complying Development Certificate (CDC) can take 14 to 18 days for approval, while a Development Approval (DA) can take three to five months, depending on the council. You are generally out of your home for around 48 weeks (11 months) from the time we start demolition. Allura recommends renting for 12 months or staying with family if possible. Visit (timeline) to learn more about the process of building with Allura.

What areas do you build in?
Allura homes can be found throughout Sydney’s North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West and Sutherland Shire. We are happy to build outside of these areas so call us on 02 9420 4133 or 0405 147 499 to learn more regarding your location.

How long does it take to design and price a home?
The very first step you take on the journey with Allura is to sit down with one of our team, share your thoughts and ideas about what you need in a home, and what budget is realistic. The Allura team can take you through the realities of that idea. We will develop a realistic budget estimate and the timeline for the project. This will enable you to understand whether it is possible.

Do you provide an interior designer?
Yes, the interior design team at Studio Allura will help you with every selection and manage the project plan, so the right decisions are made on time and on budget. A visit to Studio Allura is the chance to see and interact with every element of your new home. From bricks, paint and timber flooring to tapware, sinks, appliances and blinds, Studio Allura brings every Pinterest board or scrapbook to life.

Do you include a warranty program with your homes?
Allura has a market-leading warranty and guarantee program, to ensure your peace of mind. You can discuss this in more detail during the initial consultation.
