Architecturally Designed Homes in Melbourne

An architectural home builder is a licensed builder who specialises in constructing architect-designed homes. They work closely with architects and clients to deliver custom designs with high-quality craftsmanship and bespoke detail.

Architecturally designed homes in Melbourne typically cost $4,000 to $8,000+ per square metre depending on size, finishes, and site complexity. Architect fees usually range from 5% to 15% of total construction costs.

Most architectural homes take 9 to 12 months to build, with an additional 3 to 6 months for design and documentation. Total timeline from concept to handover is usually 12 to 18 months.

“Architecturally designed” means the home was conceived by a registered architect not selected from a builder’s fixed range of plans. The architect designs the floor plan, orientation, façade, spatial relationships, and material palette specifically for that site and client. In Melbourne, architecturally designed homes are typically built under a design-and-construct or separate-contract model and require planning permits before construction begins.
