Why building with AUSMAR custom feels different

When you picture your dream home, you’re not imagining something off-the-shelf. You’re thinking about a home that reflects your lifestyle, your block, and your future. That’s exactly what AUSMAR delivers. As leading custom home builders on the Sunshine Coast, we believe your home should be more than a design - it should be a personal expression of how you want to live.

Project homes and custom homes – what’s the difference?

At AUSMAR, we proudly offer both project homes and custom homes, because we know every family has different needs.

• Project homes (aka 'standard' homes) are a fantastic choice for families who want a streamlined, cost-effective build. They’re faster, efficient, more affordable and designed to suit a wide range of lifestyles. With fixed home designs and inclusions, you know exactly what you’re getting - making the process simple and stress-free.
• Custom homes, on the other hand, take things a step further. Choosing AUSMAR as your custom house builder means your home is designed specifically for you - your block, your lifestyle, and your vision. Every detail, from the floor plan to the façade, can be tailored to suit the way you live.

Both are excellent options - it simply comes down to how much flexibility and personalisation you’d like.

Lifestyle-first design

At AUSMAR, our starting point is always your lifestyle. Whether you choose a project design or go fully custom, your home should make everyday living easier and more enjoyable.

For custom builds, we can go even further:

• Love entertaining? We’ll design seamless indoor–outdoor living, always.
• Work from home? We’ll add a private, functional office.
• Need space for extended family? We’ll design dual-living or multi-generational layouts.

Our difference is simple - AUSMAR custom home builders don’t design for the “average family.” We design for your family.

Designed for the Sunshine Coast

Living on the Sunshine Coast is special - and your home should embrace it. Our team knows how to design homes that not only look great, but also perform in our coastal climate.

• Positioning to capture breezes and natural light.
• Selecting materials that stand up to salt, humidity, and heat.
• Designing beautiful alfresco areas for year-round entertaining.

These details apply across both project and custom homes, but with custom, you can take it to the next level - making your home truly responsive to your block and location.

Smart solutions for every block

Not all land is straightforward. Narrow, sloping, or uniquely shaped blocks can make standard project designs challenging.

That’s where custom homes shine. With AUSMAR, our custom house builders will design a home that works with your land, not against it:

• Split-level designs for sloping sites.
• Clever layouts for narrow blocks.
• Expansive acreage designs that make the most of rural or hinterland views.

Project homes give you speed and certainty, while custom homes give you flexibility and block-specific solutions.

A long-term investment

Every AUSMAR home - whether project or custom - is a long-term investment. Our custom built homes add an extra layer of value because they’re tailored to your lifestyle and land. They often stand out in the market when it comes time to sell, attracting buyers who appreciate unique design and quality construction.

Personalised support from start to finish

Building a home can feel overwhelming, but with AUSMAR, you’re never on your own. Our team guides you every step of the way:

• Refining your ideas into practical designs.
• Helping with colour selections, finishes, and upgrade options.
• Managing approvals and engineering.
• Delivering quality workmanship on site.

Our reputation for honesty, integrity, and transparency means you’ll always know where you stand.
