SERVICES

ARCHITECT TENDERS:

At Kustom Living we are inspired by architecture and building great designs in collaboration with architects.

Our flexible and open approach to the process allows for exceptional outcomes; from early design-phase consultation to getting the detail just right on site.

We participate in tenders, however we prefer to work with architects on a single select tender basis with a level of cost transparency to assess our fair market value, allowing a speedier procurement process for the client and the ability to value manage the design to meet budget requirements from the very beginning.

BUILD ONLY:

We can build to plans you provide. We start with an initial review of your plans and provide a high level price range to ensure the design you have meets your budget.

If it does, we progress to detailed costing. If not, we can assist to value manage your design to meet your budget requirements.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCT:

We love design and construct. This is where we and our partner architects and designers work together from the beginning to really hit the mark based on your brief.

We can manage the process from the first design meeting right through to handing you the keys to your new home and you have one point of contact for the whole process.

OUR STORY

Kustom Living is a family owned construction company led by brothers Steve & Greg Balmforth who are passionate about building and architecture. They place a high value on what they leave behind after a project is complete and enjoy the construction process and client relationships. With decades of construction experience the KL team will deliver your home to the highest standard.

The key to its success lies in the strength of the relationships and commitment to flexibility, quality and integrity.

At Kustom Living a director takes ownership of each project ensuring full accountability and peace of mind for clients.

They believe this point of difference provides an advantage to the typical builder model where the building supervisor is usually an employee with a heavy workload and competing priorities. Their approach delivers a better outcome in bespoke building where attention to detail is critical to the end result.
