We are dedicated to creating spaces that not only look exceptional but honour the history of the home while enhancing the way you live

Build Process Overview

A clear path to your new home.

Every residential project follows a clear, collaborative process designed to ensure your project runs smoothly, regardless of the stage of your build.

1. Discovery call

We begin with a conversation to understand your vision, site requirements, and aspirations. This is where we determine how we can best support your project goals.

2. Pre-Construction (Optional but Recommended)

For those in the design phase, we offer early engagement to assist with feasibility, budget planning, and consultant coordination. This proactive step resolves buildability challenges early, protecting your budget and design intent.

3. Fixed Price Tender

Once your design is documented, we provide a detailed fixed-price tender. This gives you clarity and financial certainty before construction begins.

4. Construction

Our site team manages the day-to-day build, running regular quality checks and keeping you updated at each milestone, so you always know exactly where your project stands.

5. Handover & Warranty Support

We deliver your completed home with pride. Beyond handover, we stand by our work with warranty support, ensuring your home continues to perform for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which suburbs do you build custom homes in?

Fox Building Group builds across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula (including Drysdale, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff), the Surf Coast and regional Victoria. We regularly work beyond Geelong as well — recent projects include Warrnambool, Winchelsea, Casterton and Victoria's Western District — so if your site is in regional Victoria, it's worth a conversation.

Do you handle both new builds and renovations?

Yes — both, from concept through to handover. We build architect-designed new homes and we take on renovations, extensions and restorations, including work on heritage and character homes. Many of our projects combine the two, such as a sensitive restoration paired with a contemporary extension.

Can you deliver a bespoke, high-end custom home?

Yes. Bespoke, architect-designed homes are core to what we do. We work directly with architects and interior designers to deliver fully documented, high-specification builds, applying the same craftsmanship and site supervision whether the project is a new build or a detailed renovation.

How do I start a custom home project with Fox Building Group?

It starts with a conversation. The usual path is a discovery call to understand your project, followed by pre-construction planning for cost certainty, a fixed-price tender, and then construction through to handover and warranty support. If you already have architectural plans, we can work from those; if you're at an earlier stage, we can come in alongside your architect.

Do you work with my architect, or do you have your own?

We work with your architect. Fox Building Group specialises in taking fully documented architectural designs and building them without compromising the design intent. If you don't yet have an architect, we can point you toward practices we've collaborated with, but the choice is always yours.

How long does a custom home take to build?

It varies with the size, site and complexity of the design, so a firm programme comes out of the pre-construction stage rather than a generic figure. What we can commit to is a clear programme before we start and regular updates at each milestone, so you always know where your project stands.
