Other City of Casey suburbs we build in.

Two markets, two design conversations.

New-build estate zone (Cranbourne East, Selandra Rise, Eden Park, Botanic Ridge, Lynbrook): 2018–2024 builds on 400–650m² blocks, house prices $700K–$1.2M, owners who bought entertainer-style floor plans but the builder finished the alfresco at "concrete pad + post-and-beam frame, you finish later." Typical budget $30K–$60K for the full kitchen + roof + pizza oven + bar fit-out. This is the bulk of our work.

Established family zone (Berwick, Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Endeavour Hills): 1980s–2010s homes on larger 700–1,000m² blocks. Often retrofitting an alfresco kitchen into a pre-existing pergola or undercover area, or replacing a tired 1990s outdoor BBQ corner with a proper built-in setup. Budget $20K–$45K.
