Custom Home Builders
Understanding Custom Homes
A custom home is more than just a building. It is a deeply personal space that reflects your lifestyle, values and long-term goals. Unlike standard project homes that follow pre-designed templates, a custom build allows you to start with a blank canvas. Every choice, from the layout and materials to the finishes and architectural features, is guided by your needs, your site and your vision.
At Tingey Development Group, we specialise in bringing these ideas to life. With over 30 years of combined experience, founders Geoff and Brooke Tingey have built a boutique company renowned for its quality, honesty, and highly personalised approach. As trusted custom home builders, we create high-end homes across Perth’s most desirable suburbs, each one crafted with care, precision and a genuine focus on design.
What Is a Custom Home?
A custom home is designed specifically for you from the ground up. Unlike volume-built homes that follow set floor plans with limited customisation options, a custom home is tailored entirely around your lifestyle, preferences, and long-term vision.
Rather than choosing from a list of fixed options, you work closely with your builder and designer to shape the layout, architectural style, room configuration, materials and finishes. This allows for complete freedom in how the space looks, feels and functions.
Whether you want to maximise natural light, separate family zones across levels, or integrate sustainable features from the beginning, a custom home gives you the flexibility to do exactly that. The result is a home that is uniquely suited to the way you live.
As experienced custom home builders, we help you navigate this journey with ease and creativity, turning ideas into spaces that feel effortlessly yours.
Why Choose a Custom Home?
A custom home allows you to build with purpose and creativity. Every detail is tailored, resulting in a house that feels personal, timeless, and built to support your lifestyle now and into the future.
When you choose a custom build, you benefit from:
A home that reflects who you are
From layout to lighting, every decision is made with your lifestyle in mind.
A unique architectural identity
Your home will not be identical to others on the street. It will be designed specifically for your site, taste and needs.
Smarter use of your block
Custom homes are designed to respond to the conditions of your site, whether that means coastal winds, sloped land or tight urban lots.
Greater control over quality
You decide which materials and finishes are used, and we ensure every detail is delivered to a high standard.
Future flexibility
Your home can be designed to grow with your family or adapt to changing needs over time.
Improved energy efficiency
From passive design to solar integration, sustainable decisions can be built into the plan from the beginning.
Our Approach to Building
At Tingey Development Group, we make the process of designing and building your home feel transparent, collaborative and exciting. As experienced custom home builders, our approach is structured yet flexible, enabling us to tailor every stage of the journey to your specific needs.
Initial consultation
We begin by learning about your lifestyle, vision, and block. This conversation sets the foundation for everything that follows.
Concept design and planning
Our team translates your ideas into a practical and creative plan, considering how to maximise the potential of your site and budget.
Design development and selections
We guide you through your layout, materials and finishes. You remain in control of the decisions, and we help bring everything together with clarity and precision.
Costing and contracts
We provide clear documentation and detailed pricing so you know exactly what is included.
Approvals and preparation
We handle the permits, engineering, energy reports, and compliance requirements, allowing the build to progress without delays.
Construction
Your home is built by experienced trades under the careful supervision of our team. You are kept updated at every stage.
Handover and ongoing support
We present your finished home with pride, ensuring every detail meets your expectations. We remain available to answer any questions or provide support beyond the handover.
Design Options to Suit You
We offer a range of design approaches to suit various block types, lifestyles, and plans. Each one is fully customisable and shaped around how you want to live.
Single-storey homes
These offer a relaxed and accessible living experience with a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. It is ideal for families or downsizers who want comfort and ease.
Double-storey homes
Perfect for growing families or those who want defined zones for work, rest and entertaining. They also help maximise space on compact blocks.
Narrow lot homes
Designed to make the most of every square metre. These homes are ideal for city or coastal sites where space is limited, but style and function remain essential.
All of our layouts can be adapted. No two Tingey homes are the same because no two clients are the same. As custom home builders, our mission is to shape each design to meet your unique needs.
Details That Make the Difference
A custom home is defined by the layers of detail that come together to create a space that feels calm, complete and considered. We focus on both the look and the feel of every home we build.
High-end materials
We work with high-quality suppliers to source natural stone, hardwoods, designer tiles, and luxury finishes.
Tailored features and fittings
Lighting, cabinetry, flooring and staircases are all selected to suit your style, not a generic specification.
Smart home integration
Technology can be integrated into the home to easily manage lighting, security, and climate from your phone or central system.
Kitchens and bathrooms that blend form with function
Our kitchens are designed for both cooking and entertaining, while bathrooms feel like spa-quality retreats.
Architectural touches that elevate
Ceiling heights, feature windows, statement entrances and natural light are all carefully considered to enhance your space.
