Today our name is synonymous with quality designer homes: premium products delivered with a premium, end-to-end, customer-focused experience. We have a long history, but with our range of pre-designed, architecturally finessed homes, we are sharply focused on innovation for the future.

At Glenvill, we strive to make our customer experience as smooth and time efficient as possible. From selecting one of our distinctive floorplans and facades through to completion, a dedicated building administrator will be by your side to provide support along your journey. 

All our processes happen under one roof, prioritising collaboration, experience and teamwork. Everything is managed in-house by an industry leading team of people who are passionate about their work and the outcomes for their customers. 

Our aim is to provide you with consistent, specialist craftsmanship and assistance throughout the process, finishing your new home journey with a premium quality home that will set the benchmark for generations to come.

Every Glenvill home is planned in meticulous detail. The design has been painstakingly refined, the project plan carefully crafted, and the pricing pared back to its minimum while maintaining our signature Glenvill quality.

Above all else, we focus on how the home will function to enhance your daily life. Our in-house team of professionals will work tirelessly to deliver your dream home, while a dedicated Glenvill team member will be by your side from start to finish.

This means that when your home is designed and built by Glenvill – whether selecting a pre-designed home from our Collection as your starting point, or working with our in house design team to create a completely new design – the entire process from brief to build is expertly managed by the veteran Glenvill team. The result? A home that is anything but ordinary.

Our Collection range is a rare portfolio of homes offering expert design, uncompromising quality and affordable pricing to suit your budget and timeline.

Our ambition was to create a superior range of affordable high-end homes that would continuously evolve to meet changing lifestyle needs. Because everyone deserves the opportunity to own a Glenvill designed home.

Step 1 - Hello

The process starts with a conversation with your dedicated Design Manager. Together you’ll sit down and discuss your budget, your ideal floorplan and whether you have land. This is your opportunity to define who you are, what inspires you and, most importantly, your hopes and ambitions for your home. 

Step 2 - Finalising your Design

We’ll gather any relevant information that may affect your design or chosen floorplan. By knowing all the facts before we start we can eliminate surprises, so we’ll visit your block and undertake a full site and planning analysis, including a survey and soil testing. From these findings we’ll provide you with an indicative cost of the ideas laid out in your initial meeting. Together, we’ll then confirm your facade, floorplan and design that suits your needs and style.

Step 3 - Preconstruction

Let us take care of the fine print, developing the documentation pack while providing you with a fixed-price build contract. This will give you with the space to focus on selecting your interior colour scheme and finalising your external scheme, options and upgrades. At this point you will know exactly what your house will look like and how much it will cost.

Step 4 - Construction

With the design finalised and pricing agreed, it’s time to break out the tools and make your dream home a reality. We will obtain the building permit, order all materials and appoint your experienced site manager. During the construction process, we will follow strict and realistic timelines and adopt stringent benchmarks for workmanship. Whether you’re located nearby or not, you’ll be kept up to date at every stage of construction until completion.

A Glenvill home is anything but ordinary, and our custom Create process shows precisely why. Beginning with the freedom of the blank page, you’ll first work with our in-house Architects and Design team to discover and define your vision, and then with our experienced construction team to realise it.

The entire process of your Architecturally designed, custom built home is managed in-house meaning the very same people will be with you right from start to finish – no need for to-ing and fro-ing between contractors . Just our signature five-star service, and quality that’s six decades in the making.

1. Understanding your vision

Create starts with a conversation with an experienced Design Manager. Great design outcomes result from our design team truly understanding you, your budget and your expectations. At Glenvill, we know that design is all about people, which is never more true than when it comes to designing and building custom homes.

We need to understand who you are. What are your ideas and what inspires you? Your family dynamics and of course your block of land will also tell its own story. We arrange to visit the site with you and review ideas. Above all, we never lose sight of the fact that this is your home and you need to fall in love with every inch of it. We want to know all the facts before we start so we can ensure there are no surprises. We will openly discuss your budget as well as; document the adjoining properties, the features of your property, ensure the accuracy of your land title boundaries, soil condition reports and the locations of all services. It is at this stage that a preliminary deposit is then payable to assume the next step in your custom home build.

2. Create your vision

You will now meet with our in-house Architect and your Design Manager to discuss and further develop your individual brief. Our Architect gets to further understand you, your unique requirements and discover your style and inspiration to ensure the design possibilities match your vision.

Now that we have all of this information, the true beauty of custom home design really begins. Our Architect will develop an initial concept of your home based on the design brief we have developed with you. Because we don’t settle for the conventional way of doing things – your concept will be carefully prepared and presented to you by way of hand drawn Architectural design sketches – this will include a visualisation of the look of your external facade and your floorplan details.

3. Detail the finishes

Beautiful custom homes are not built by accident. At Glenvill, the design process is thorough and you will continue to work closely with our Architect and Design Manager to fine-tune the details until you are comfortable with the plans and external elevations. At this point we will present you with a preliminary costing to ensure we are still within your budget and expectations

From here we will develop computer generated drawings, including 3D images. Once the design is complete, a specification of materials and finishes will be provided to you, so you can have confidence we are working towards your design and financial goals.

We want you to contemplate the design outcome as a full package, consider all of the facts to enable you to make controlled and informed decisions. Once you are happy with the outcome you will approve our preconstruction agreement and an additional payment will then move your home forward to the next stage. Should town planning be required our experienced team are here to guide you through every step of the way.

4. Visualisation

The stage where every little detail is considered. We will now develop all of the documentation required – ready for our construction team to build your dream home. During this stage we offer you a comprehensive and integrated interior design consultation with our interiors team. Nothing is left to chance, including furnishings, light fittings, floor coverings and appliances.

Our Interiors team will guide you through one of the most exciting phases of your journey and offer unparalleled advice. We are proud to offer this as another unique feature of your journey with Glenvill Homes. This is the stage of the process where you will sign your building contract. Glenvill use the plain English Housing Industry Association building contracts where we bring together all of the designs, materials, colours and engineering details into one final document. At this point the balance of deposit, less the previous initial deposits, is payable.

5. Construction

Once contracts have been signed, Glenvill will obtain the required building permit. We will pre-order all building materials and appoint an experienced Site Manager ready for the start of construction. Glenvill work to strict building timelines and keep you up-to-date every step of the way. You can’t rush quality and you can’t cut corners on workmanship, so our timelines are realistic to ensure we deliver on our promise that your home will be built to impeccable quality standards.

Finally, after all those months of planning and unwavering attention to every detail, your dream is now a reality. Your custom designed Glenvill home is ready for you to move in. However, this is not the end of our commitment to you. Glenvill stand by our quality and are there for support for many more years to come should the need arise.
