Our Process, Built to Remove Stress

We don't just build homes, we build certainty and trust.

Step 1: Free Consultation

We sit down and map out your goals, your budget, and your expectations, clearly and honestly. If we’re not the right builder, we’ll tell you.

Step 2: Design and Planning

We bring in architects, engineers, and compliance consultants to get everything designed properly, for your land, your council, and your style. No cookie cutters here.

Step 3: Fixed Price Agreement

Once we finalise design, we quote the job properly, including everything. No “allowances.” No “TBCs.” No games.

Step 4: Construction

Our construction team works in step with the design and planning team, not in silos. You get updates weekly, monthly reports, full visibility, and a build you’ll be proud of.

Step 5: Handover & Support

We deliver your project cleanly, provide all documentation, and remain available for any post handover questions.

How We Compare

Shafbuild Vs Other Builders


We’re not here to compete on hype, we compete on clarity, quality, and care.


Most people start their build journey comparing quotes.


But the real difference isn’t just in the price, it’s in what’s actually included, who’s guiding you, and how your project is managed behind the scenes.


We’ve broken it down simply below. No fluff. Just the real differences that matter when you’re building something important.

The Truth about Building in Australia

The residential construction industry is broken, and too many good people are paying the price.

People with clear budgets, strong vision, and honest expectations are still being let down.

Not because they did anything wrong, but because the system is designed to sell, not serve.


Delays are just the beginning.

The feeling of being passed from one stranger to another, salesperson to admin to site team.


Being sold a dream by someone who disappears the moment you sign.


And then being left in the dark while your most important asset is built without real visibility.


We’ve seen it too often. And we're here to build with quality and care you can be proud of.

We designed the opposite experience at Shafbuild.


  • You speak with your builder, not a rep, not a call centre.
  • Your home is designed around you, not a recycled plan with a few tweaks.
  • You’re led by professionals, not handed off to juniors.
  • You get real costs upfront, no inflated variations, no hidden surprises.
  • You get clarity every step of the way, with structured updates, direct access, and clean systems.


We don’t believe in shortcuts, spin, or selling a fantasy.


We believe in building properly, with care, transparency, and long-term quality.


If you’ve been let down before, or you’re trying to avoid becoming just another story, you’re exactly who we built this for.

From Custom Homes to Multi Unit,

We’ve Got You Covered.

We build homes and residential projects that are designed properly, documented fully, and delivered with care. Whether it’s a custom home, duplex, apartment block or granny flat, our process stays the same: real planning, real communication, and no shortcuts.

Architecturally Designed Homes

High quality, custom built houses tailored to your lifestyle and block, delivered with precision, transparency, and care.

Duplexes and Townhouses

We specialise in boutique townhouse and duplex developments that blend smart design with efficient, compliant construction.

Low to Mid Rise Apartments

From DA to delivery, we build low to mid rise residential projects with clear systems, experienced oversight, and full NCC compliance.

Granny Flats & Secondary Dwellings

We take on a small number of well considered secondary dwellings where quality, compliance, and design matter. Ideal for clients who value long term livability, not just fast builds.
