At Owen Built Homes, one of our many differences is, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead of a standard ‘cut and fill’ excavation, we carefully site your home to follow the natural contours of your block. The design-first thinking not only creates a home that looks and feels more connected to its surroundings but also reduces the need for expensive retaining walls that are left for the customer to deal with. When building with us, you are provided with a real price from the start, our focus is on giving you a great outcome with your home. Our reputation is based on being honest and trustworthy.
