Custom Home Builders in East Lynne

Building in East Lynne

East Lynne is a rural locality on the Princes Highway north of Batemans Bay, a short drive from town. It is forest country, with Murramarang National Park across the highway and the coast a short drive east. People build here for space, privacy and bush around them, with the coast close by.

Designing for a bush block

On a forested block, bushfire planning comes first. A BAL rating affects where the home sits, the cladding, glazing, decks and gutters, and how much vegetation needs to be managed around the house. We prepare a preliminary BAL assessment in-house during design, and bring in an accredited BPAD consultant where the site needs one. Our guide to BAL ratings explains what each level means for your build.

Larger rural blocks bring other questions too: access, slope, drainage, and how the home is serviced. We work through them during design, so the budget reflects the real site. Our guide to building on a sloping coastal block covers footings and access on uneven ground.

One team from design to handover

We design and build every home in-house, from the first sketch to handover. The people who draw your home are the people who build it, so the house you approve on paper is the house you get. We price as we design, so you know where the budget stands before you commit, and there is one team accountable the whole way.

Many people building out this way are coming from Canberra or moving to the coast for good. We are set up to run a build for owners who live away, with clear updates the whole way.

Sustainable homes that suit the site

A bush block is a good place for a home that looks after itself. A well-sealed, well-insulated envelope helps with both bushfire performance and running costs, and orientation for winter sun with shading for summer does the rest. Every new NSW home has to meet BASIX, which now lines up with a 7-star NatHERS rating for thermal performance, and we are happy to go further. Our director, Daniel Perrem, is a licensed builder, a BDAA registered building designer and a Certified Passive House Tradesperson.
