There’s A Lot To Consider When
Building A Home at The Victorian High Country.
Perhaps You Have Some Of These
Questions (And Concerns) Too
Once you’ve lived (or holidayed) in the Victorian Alpine Region, it’s hard to live anywhere else. The stunning scenery, crisp fresh air, clear rivers and relaxed mountain lifestyle are unmatched. But there is no getting away from the fact: It gets cold.
That’s no problem when you have the right home. But with the wrong house, you may find yourself battling nagging health problems, constant mould and mildew, and just feeling plain uncomfortable and exhausted all the time.
So, like many people building a custom home in the Victorian Alpine Region, perhaps you also feel:
-
Concerned your new home will be cold…
… and want a builder with the experience to design and build you an energy efficient home that is comfortable all year round with minimal heating and cooling. -
Nervous about costs…
… and want a builder with the specialised knowledge to deliver maximum comfort for minimum cost – all honestly laid out from the beginning so you can plan your finances with certainty (and no surprises) -
Uncertain about timeframes…
… and want a builder with precise processes that ensure a clear, reliable schedule, so you can plan your move-in date with confidence (and avoid incurring extra rent or mortgage costs). -
Worried about workmanship…
… and want a builder with meticulous attention to detail needed to deliver a home that is finished flawlessly (to look stunning), structurally superior (to last a lifetime), and is warm and comfortable all year round. -
Afraid you’ll be disappointed with your home…
… and want detailed information so you can compare your options and feel confident your builder will deliver the comfortable custom home you want – on time and budget (with an enjoyable experience).
Most Alpine homeowners have similar concerns. That’s why we invite you to a Free Consultation where we will answer your questions and share tips to help you get the comfortably warm home you’ve always wanted.

How We Give You A Custom Home That Looks Better, Lasts Longer, And Is Comfortably Warm All Year Round
Most builders can give you a custom home (to varying degrees of quality). But when you’re looking for a home that is…
- Energy efficient (for power savings)
- Comfortably warm (all year round)
- Optimised to bring out the best in your land
- Flawlessly finished (to look stunning)
- Structurally superior (to last a lifetime)
- Delivered on time and budget (with an enjoyable experience)
… you have to choose a builder with knowledge and experience in this specialised area of Alpine design and construction.
Keep reading to discover some of the things we do differently to ensure you get the exact comfortable custom home you want including:
Custom Designed:
Most custom homes aren’t nearly as custom as people think. Because the designers attempt to shoe-horn custom features into a generic floorplan. This often results in a home that costs more (because modifications are expensive), a clunky layout with wasted internal space (especially in hallways), reduced energy efficiency and comfort (because it’s not optimised for the land), and compromises on what the homeowner really wants.
We take time to get to know your family. And thoughtfully design every detail of your home to enhance your lifestyle, maximise your comfort, and bring out the very best in your land (including natural light, breezes, views, and privacy). The result is a house that feels like home because it is designed and built just for you.
Supremely Comfortable:
Add the words “sustainable”, “energy efficient” or “high performance” to any home and watch the construction costs soar. Partly because so-called energy efficient products cost more. And partly because of the perceived value these claims have. But just because a house has a fancy name doesn’t mean it offers noticeable benefits in terms of comfort and energy savings. After all, the most energy efficient building material is only as good as the way it is installed.
We choose building materials based on their real-world performance and not the advertising claims made by the manufacturers. Then we install them with the utmost precision (to the millimetre — no gaps!) to ensure maximum performance. The result is a home that stays comfortably warm all year with minimal heating (and significant power savings).
Flawlessly Finished:
Most new homes look good at first glance. But over time (sometimes just months) defects quickly surface in the form of gaps, cracks, and uneven surfaces. This is incredibly disappointing for homeowners who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to build their dream home.
When it comes to finishes, Ray is fastidious. He has assembled a team of the most talented tradespeople, sets the bar at perfection, and supports them to do their very best work (ensuring scheduling allows time and space to work without interruption).
You’ll notice the unrivalled attention to detail in every feature of your home (with everything perfectly straight, square, and level). When we put our tools away, we can all feel proud about all the little things that make your home so special.
Structurally Superior:
As a custom builder who also does major renovations, we have gained (alarming) insight into how other builders operate. If you could see behind walls (like we do), you would be horrified.
Whether seen or hidden in the foundation or frame, we take pride in every joint, nail, and screw so you can be sure your home is constructed with precision to last a lifetime with little maintenance.
Honest Fixed Pricing:
Too many homeowners needlessly suffer financial stress due to (thousands in) variations and cost blowouts. Sometimes because building materials were not ordered in time and now need to be rush ordered or substituted with more expensive items. Sometimes because things they thought were included are suddenly charged as extras. And often because delays add weeks (sometimes months) to their rent and mortgage repayments.
We provide honest, fixed pricing and total transparency, so you can plan your finances (and life) with certainty.
Fully Insured:
A staggering 2,349 building companies collapsed in 2023, with fears for many more will fail. While this is sad for the owners of these companies, it is tragic for the people who entrusted them to build their homes (especially for those whose insurance was inadequate).
When you choose Gregory Projects you can build with confidence knowing you’re dealing with a company that has the skills, systems, and financial stability to finish your home as promised. For extra peace of mind your total investment is fully insured.
Enjoyable Experience:
Too many people find building a custom home in Alpine Victoria to be stressful. Especially when their builder is disorganised (runs later and overbudget), fails to communicate (won’t even return calls or emails), and produces a disappointing result.
We love building. And take enormous pride in helping our clients clarify the ideas they’ve been dreaming about. And bringing them to life (with unrivalled attention to detail) in a stunning, supremely comfortable home – on time and within budget. We look forward to helping you (even if you’re building from out of town) enjoy the process and love the end result.
Expert Guidance:
While any competent builder can construct your home, we take time to listen to your vision, help you clarify and refine your ideas, and provide well-considered advice to help you get the outcome you want in the most effective and efficient way (while avoiding many of the pitfalls others regret). We’ll guide you through all the decisions – from floorplans to finishes, and a myriad of details in between — so you get all you’ve ever wanted in your new home or renovation — starting with a Free Consultation.
