Proven Experience and Local Expertise

With almost 30 years of experience building across Melbourne and regional Victoria, Beachwood Homes brings deep local knowledge to every project. We understand the city's diverse planning requirements, soil types, and estate-specific guidelines—insights that help avoid costly delays and ensure smoother approvals.

From the coastal areas of Bayside and the Mornington Peninsula, to the leafy suburbs of the Yarra Ranges, we’ve successfully delivered homes that meet local conditions and council expectations.

Our strong relationships with councils, trades, and suppliers mean fewer disruptions and better outcomes for our clients.

This long-standing presence in the industry, combined with our adaptability through changing market conditions, gives homeowners the confidence that their build is in expert hands.

Transparent Pricing and Inclusions

Transparency in pricing and inclusions is a critical factor when selecting a home builder. It ensures you have a clear understanding of what you're getting and helps avoid unexpected costs down the line.

Understanding Pricing Structures

When evaluating builders' quotes, it's essential to look beyond the base price. Often, what seems like an attractive offer may not include important features or finishes.

A comprehensive quote should clearly outline all inclusions, from structural elements to fixtures and fittings. Be wary of vague terms or unclear descriptions that could lead to misunderstandings later.

It's also important to understand how upgrades and customisations are priced. Some builders may offer low base prices but then charge premium rates for even minor changes or upgrades.

Lastly, consider the long-term value. A slightly higher upfront cost might translate to better quality materials and workmanship, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs in the future.

Beachwood's Transparent Offers

At Beachwood Homes, we believe in complete transparency in our pricing and inclusions. Our approach is designed to give you clarity and confidence from the outset of your building journey.

We offer fixed pricing on our home designs, which means the price we quote is the price you'll pay, barring any client-requested changes. This approach protects you from unexpected cost increases during the build.

Our inclusion lists are comprehensive and clearly detailed. We specify exactly what's included in each of our home designs, from structural elements to finishes and fixtures. This clarity helps you understand exactly what you're getting for your investment.

We also offer a range of upgrade options special offers. Whether you're looking to enhance your kitchen appliances or upgrade your flooring, we provide clear pricing for these options upfront.

As an added assurance, we offer a 25-year structural guarantee on all our homes. This long-term commitment reflects our confidence in the quality of our construction and materials.
