Custom Home Builders in Indooroopilly

Indooroopilly sits on the north side of the Chelmer Reach of the Brisbane River and runs east into Long Pocket, a promontory bounded on three sides by the river. Its population grew steadily between the wars, and by the early twentieth century it was already drawing affluent residents out from the inner city; one villa on Council's heritage trail sits high above the riverbank. Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and the railway station anchor the suburb, the heritage Walter Taylor Bridge spans the river here, and Long Pocket is shared between parkland and the Indooroopilly Golf Club.

The river is the dominant planning question. A large part of Indooroopilly falls within the Brisbane River flood planning area, and smaller areas carry creek flood planning areas and overland flow, so on low-lying land the flood level decides the floor height. Higher ground brings its own constraint, because a sizeable share of the suburb is also in the bushfire overlay.

Character controls are lighter than in the inner south. Only a small part of Indooroopilly is in the Traditional building character overlay, though the Indooroopilly centre neighbourhood plan, which covers the area around the centre, still seeks to protect areas with strong traditional character. Most of the rest sits in the Toowong and Indooroopilly district neighbourhood plan. Taringa House's three levels show one way to fit a substantial family home onto an Indooroopilly lot.

Taringa House is our completed Indooroopilly home. It is a contemporary three-level house with a cement-clad feature wall and large expanses of glass on the facade, a floating timber staircase with glass balustrades at the entry, and dark cabinetry against glossy tiled floors inside. Outside, an alfresco kitchen, a built-in fireplace and a pool are finished to match the home's contemporary styling.

Terrace House in Toowong is underway; concept renders are on its project page. Our other completed homes are mostly on the southside, and the feasibility check covers how an Indooroopilly build would run from our Greenslopes base.

Indooroopilly is across the river from most of our work, so we plan site visits and meetings to suit, often alongside our Terrace House project in Toowong, and your site supervisor is the constant on the ground. Bring your architect's drawings or let us design the home; flood-driven floor heights, retaining and bushfire requirements are each priced as their own items. The process page walks through each stage, and your supervisor meets you at the Indooroopilly site before construction starts. We manage the building and council approvals for the site, and after you move in we return for a maintenance inspection to deal with any settlement issues.
