Custom Home Builders in Tarragindi

Tarragindi spreads over a valley between Tarragindi Hill and Wellers Hill, at the foothills of Toohey Mountain, and its streets are known for how hilly they are. Small streams run off the hills to form Sandy Creek, and Council notes that water escapes quickly from roofs and roads into it. On a Tarragindi block, the fall and where the stormwater goes are the first two things we measure.

The suburb was rural until the interwar years and filled in after the Second World War, first with makeshift shelters during the housing shortage and then with War Service and Housing Commission estates. That makes it largely a suburb of the fifties and sixties, and a lot of the original housing is post-war. Only a small part of Tarragindi is in the Traditional building character overlay, but it is still worth confirming your street before you plan around demolition.

Two overlays come up often here. A large part of Tarragindi falls within the bushfire overlay, much of it as buffer areas, which can bring a bushfire assessment and construction requirements into the design. The creeks also carry flood planning areas and waterway corridors. Nearly all of the suburb sits in the Holland Park and Tarragindi district neighbourhood plan, which protects Sandy, Ekibin and Norman creeks and the landscape of the Wellers Hill and Tarragindi Hill reservoirs.

There is no completed Flascon home within the Tarragindi boundary yet. Sky House is our first Tarragindi project and is underway; its project page carries the concept renders.

The closest finished work is next door. In Greenslopes, Wylma House pairs a curved staircase with a pool and covered alfresco, Bunya House has a rooftop terrace facing the city skyline, and Nicholson House is classic Hamptons in blue and white. In Holland Park, Harold House sets its pool into the fall of the land, a condition many Tarragindi blocks share.

A Tarragindi build usually needs early answers on slope, stormwater and the bushfire overlay, so we cover those before design gets far. Existing plans from your architect are fine, and so is starting from nothing with our design and construct service. The estimate is broken into items, so a bushfire requirement or extra retaining appears as its own line. We handle the approvals too, including any bushfire assessment the overlay calls for. Our process shows every stage. When building begins, your site supervisor becomes your day-to-day contact on the Tarragindi job, and our Greenslopes office is a short drive away for selections and meetings.
