The cost of building a custom home varies based on design, level of finishes, siteworks, and client preferences. As a guide, our custom two-storey homes typically start from $700,000 to over $1.5 million, excluding demolition or external works. At JAV, we work closely with you during the design phase to tailor the scope to your budget — so you get the best value without compromising on quality or vision. Every cost is clearly presented upfront, with no hidden surprises.

The timeline for a two-storey custom home typically ranges between 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the design, site conditions, approvals, and any custom features involved. At JAV, we provide a realistic program from the outset and closely monitor progress with detailed reporting. Our systems ensure timelines are met — even when clients are overseas or interstate.
