Custom Home Builders in Mount Gravatt

Most of this area is a post-war suburb that grew out along Logan Road. Mount Gravatt itself, west of Logan Road, was subdivided almost straight after the Second World War, Mount Gravatt East followed, and Upper Mount Gravatt matured through the sixties and seventies as new housing spilled south. That leaves many blocks with a post-war house that is a candidate for a knockdown rebuild.

The mountain is the other constant. The Mt Gravatt Outlook Reserve rises west of Logan Road beside the Griffith University campus, and Norman Creek starts in the wooded ridgelines of Toohey Forest and Mount Gravatt. Slope is a given on many blocks near the mountain, and the bushfire overlay covers a sizeable part of Mount Gravatt and smaller parts of Mount Gravatt East and Upper Mount Gravatt.

The planning picture differs from the inner south. None of the three suburbs is in the Traditional building character overlay or the Character residential zone, which removes the demolition question that slows knockdown rebuilds closer to the city. What does apply varies by street: the Mt Gravatt corridor neighbourhood plan covers most of Upper Mount Gravatt and part of Mount Gravatt, the new Mt Gravatt Centre precinct plan applies around the centre, parts are mapped in the Dwelling house character overlay, and Mount Gravatt East and Upper Mount Gravatt both have creek flood planning areas.

Dykes House in Mount Gravatt East is a Hamptons home in weatherboard with a gabled roofline and stone entry, and an alfresco that connects to the pool. Cavendish House, also in Mount Gravatt East, is contemporary, built around warm timber, stone and glass, with a stone feature wall. The Selbourne Townhouses in Mount Gravatt are a multi-residential project with monochrome facades and pitched rooflines, open-plan living to private alfresco areas, and double garages.

Next door in Mackenzie, Prout House shows how we handle a larger site with fall, its outdoor areas built into the natural slope.

In Mount Gravatt the early questions are usually slope, bushfire mapping and which plan applies to your street, and we answer those at feasibility. After that, we build to your architect's plans or design and construct for you, and townhouse projects like Selbourne are part of our work where the zoning allows. Bushfire construction requirements and extra retaining are priced as separate items rather than folded into a lump sum. Each stage is set out on our process page. During the build your site supervisor manages the Mount Gravatt site and is your main contact, and our Greenslopes office is an easy drive for selections.
