Custom Home Builders in Rosedale

Building in Rosedale

Rosedale is a small beachside settlement about 18 kilometres by road south of Batemans Bay, next to Guerilla Bay, with Malua Bay to the north and Tomakin to the south. It has no shops of its own. What it has is a long beach, headlands, Saltwater Creek at the northern end of the beach, and bush that is more prominent than the houses. The water in front is part of Batemans Marine Park.

Designing for the bush and the coast

In Rosedale the bush comes right up to most blocks, so bushfire planning is part of the design from the start. A BAL rating affects cladding, glazing, decks, gutters and how the home sits on the block. 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.

Many blocks here sit close to bushland. We plan footings, drainage, access and any clearing early, and set the home out to catch the view and the winter sun without fighting the site. Our guide to building on a sloping coastal block covers the detail. Close to the ocean we also choose materials and fixings that stand up to salt air.

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.

Rosedale is popular with holiday home owners and people moving to the coast, and many of them live away while they build. We run builds for owners in Canberra and elsewhere, with clear updates the whole way.

Sustainable homes that suit the site

A well-designed home here can be comfortable year round with little energy: good orientation, an insulated and airtight envelope, shading for summer and rooftop solar. 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.
