Custom Design & Home Builder
With over 50 years in the residential building industry, the Ricciardello family have solidified an impeccable reputation for high quality, luxury award-winning custom homes and client satisfaction.
Weststyle thrives on the modern challenges of contemporary construction and the needs and desires of a variety of clients. It is the company’s relentless pursuit of the creation of truly exceptional architecturally-designed homes that enables Weststyle to successfully tackle the challenges of a custom designed home. Clients work closely with our in-house architect and design team to create their unique custom homes.
From the very start of our journey in building, we felt at home and very comfortable with Weststyle. Mary, from the start was very patient and confident in expressing her ideas about our block.
As first time builders, we were spoilt by the quality of service and detail that was offered by Weststyle. They really listened and took an interest in what our lifestyle was and manifested it into our home design. Every detail in the design was considered and well thought out and it translated into our eventual dream home.
As we were clients who are under a pretty strict budget, fitting everything we wanted into the design was very challenging. Mary and Courtney went above and beyond in accommodating for our cost cutting requests. Moreover, the building environment during this time saw unprecedented cost increases in labour and materials. However, Tony and the team were upfront with costs and found innovative solutions in keeping costs down to the minimum. Although ultimately we had to stretch beyond our initial budget, we felt it was reasonable given the market environment and we appreciated Tony and the team for the transparency and their willingness to compromise to build our home.
Sam, our supervisor, was also fantastic and very responsive to all our requests and questions. He was wonderful to work with and also an example of going the extra mile in ensuring the building process go smoothly and the end product is top quality.
We are forever grateful to the Weststyle Team in building a wonderful dream home for us.
It was such a pleasure building with Weststyle. From our very first meeting we felt like part of the family. We came to the team with a few challenges to overcome, our enormous ambitions, a very narrow block and a 7-star energy rating requirement; nothing they couldn’t overcome.
Whilst the house was going to be built on such a narrow block, we never wanted it to feel small or cramped. We dreamed of light filled spaces, with lots of connection to the green outdoor spaces. Thanks to Weststyle, those dreams came true. We have created a home that is bright and warm, which links fluidly with the outdoors.
The whole process was a collaborative effort. We loved being a part of each step, everything from the initial planning meetings to the monthly site catch ups. Along the way the team was always refining the design and ensuring that we were going to love the finished product.
The quality of the build is second to none. Each trade took such pride in their work and it shows in the exemplary end result. The fastidious attention to detail and beautiful design features continue to blow us away.
We are so grateful to have shared this experience with Weststyle. Their knowledge, skill, kindness and good humour made the whole process so enjoyable. Tony and his team at Weststyle don’t build houses, they build homes. They build homes the way they should be built.
We are eternally grateful to Tony and his remarkable team at Weststyle for building our dream home. We opted for Weststyle as we had been admiring Tony’s homes for years. We wanted a builder with an excellent reputation for local residential work and we were not disappointed. We wanted a contemporary, luxurious, well-constructed home that would suit the needs of our family. We wanted to achieve modern luxury that was practical and purposeful and the extra time taken by the Weststyle team ensured that the brief was met. The Weststyle team ensured that any small changes and adjustments were not issues at all.
The process was an absolute pleasure. From the architectural design to the selection of materials, lighting, colours and landscaping, the team always had great suggestions and it was their aim to make everything just right and to ensure that we were happy. It goes without saying that we absolutely adore our home, from the striking exterior brick work to our chocolate face brick dividing wall that shares its space between the alfresco and living area to our parent’s retreat, our home is exactly what we envisioned and encompasses the luxe feel we were after. We continue to receive compliments and were fortunate enough to have it included in the 2018 Christmas edition of the House and Garden Magazine.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Tony, Janis and their insanely talented and hardworking team for turning our dream into reality.
When it was time to choose a builder to construct our forever home we were extremely meticulous. Other builders just didn’t quite understand our needs and our specific site requirements, but Weststyle understood exactly where we were coming from and by the end of our very first meeting we had chosen the one. Being a family owned and run business was incorporated into their personal approach and it was made clear very early on in the build that the values of honesty, trust and communication were paramount to Weststyle.
During every stage of the process from design, through construction and onto handover everything flowed smoothly because of the friendly advice and professional nature of the Weststyle team who were always available and eager to answer any of our questions. Exceptional build quality, extensive experience and knowledge of the building industry and their attention to even the tiniest detail is what sets them apart from other companies and is what initially drew us to build with them in the first place.
Ultimately all these factors contributed to our fantastic Weststyle experience, making it more than simply just building a house for our family.
After securing a block of land we started our building process by engaging a “design and construct” business and after spending approximately 9 months in design and approval phrase were extremely disappointed when the lowest final tender price was 33% over budget and didn’t include many of the things specified.
In fact, we were just about to give up on the entire building process when we met Weststyle. If it wasn’t for Tony and his team, we would have sold our block and moved on with life.
We really enjoyed the collaborative relationship we forged with the Weststyle design team who listened to and enhanced our initial ideas and explained everything to us in language we could understand.
Once the design and selections were completed it was actually quite stress free due to a great site supervisor who always made himself available and the great team behind him who assisted with any variations necessary etc. to keep things on track. If something went wrong, they were quick to fix it and independently improved certain aspects during the build. Their post build service has also been second to none. Weststyle’s guidance, knowledge and attention to detail resulted in something truly unique for us.
Carrier and Postmus Architects recommended Weststyle Design & Development to one of our clients for the construction of a luxury home in the suburb of Shenton Park. The home demanded a builder that was going to spend the time and effort examining and getting the details right. Having worked with Weststyle previously we knew that the quality of their work and also the approach of their staff was excellent. The build process was highly collaborative with the architect and builder working together to get the best result for the client. The attention to detail provided by their supervisor Paul and the standard of finish was outstanding. The site was always clean and the administration staff in the office were easy and pleasant to deal with. We would highly recommend Weststyle as a builder of high quality to any of our clients and welcome any future work with them.
Thank you for building us such a wonderful home, we thoroughly enjoyed the building process thanks to Weststyle’s professionalism and having so much pride in what they do.
From the moment we sat down to go through the design brief we knew we had made the right choice in builder, our block was always going to be a challenging build and Weststyle not only exceeded our expectations but came up with a design that we never could have imagined.
We were excited seeing the design on paper, but it was nothing compared to seeing it come to life, and the fact that Weststyle always sorted any issues out promptly with no fuss made us able to enjoy seeing the design unfold in front of us without any of the stress usually associated with building.
We couldn’t be happier with the end result, our home is beautiful, practical, filled with natural light and rooms that feel good to be in. Comments we receive from our friends and family on this is testament to the attention to detail, high end finishing, and build quality which was maintained by your team during the construction phase of the project.
You and your team at Weststyle took that next step in making us feel more like a friend than a client, this continues even after the build is finished and handover is done. Gestures like celebrating the birth of our twin’s months after handover is just one example of many.
We have no doubt Weststyle will be building our next home when the time comes.
