There are many advantages of choosing  Finch Constructions as your local custom home builder:

  • Local Knowledge:

As a custom design and building company, Finch Constructions has been operating for almost 20 years in Metro Adelaide. As locals ourselves, we are more attuned to the local housing market, trends and preferences of local buyers. This is valuable for custom designed and built homes to ensure they fit in with the community and meet future resale value expectations. Additionally, building custom homes in Adelaide has given us advanced familiarity and knowledge with local building codes, regulations, and permitting processes. This helps steamline the custom building process and reduce potential delays.

Our award-winning team works with clients to design everything from the floor plan to the façade and fixtures. Essentially, the home is customised to their exact wants & needs by incorporating their personality, style and creating a home that their family can be proud of.

With obtaining a solid and long-standing reputation for quality, communication and service; clients often refer to Finch Constructions as their preferred, local builder. It is common that we develop long term relationships with our clients and trades as we become their ‘builder for life’, and often build for their extended family and friends.

  • Small Volume Builder:

Being a boutique building company and choosing to only build and/or renovate an exclusive number of homes every year, allows our team at Finch Constructions to build long standing relationships with both our clients and sub-contractors.

As custom home builders, we provide a personalised approach to meet our clients individual & unique needs when building and/or renovating their dream home. Because of this, we take on fewer projects per year so we can offer exceptional service whilst creating quality, one-of-a-kind homes (not sell an existing package or pre-set layout….). We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach never works. Which is why we design and build custom homes to fit our clients lifestyle.

  • Local Convenience:

As local custom home builders, we are known for providing tailored and personalised services that cater to your needs and preferences. Our suburban office is highly accessible, giving you ease when visiting our office whilst collaborating with ongoing projects, having face-to-face meetings, and address any concerns promptly.

By collaborating with local contractors and tradespeople, we are honored to be contributing to the community’s advancement.

  • Long-Standing Relationships:

Our employees at Finch Constructions are a very-close knit group. With this being said, we also consider our sub-contractors as part of our team. With an established foundation built on rapport and trust, we value the long-term relationships we have with our trades.

This number is always growing as the two site supervisors are always bringing new, younger contractors.

Sometimes our clients have already begun their building journey elsewhere, with anything from a few initial ideas all the way to having drawings prepared by a drafts person or architect or council approval.

We are happy to work with you if you are closer to building, and will simply pick up the process at the stage you are at to ensure you get the full Finch service from there on in.

Having said that, it is a good idea to involve your builder as soon as you can as they will often have ideas and perspective that ensures all concepts and plans a re practical and can be built efficiently and with your lifestyle in mind.

For this reason, we almost always start with a consultation with our builder to review your documentation and determine if it is a good fit for you and for Finch.

At this time, our builder will give you some initial advice about a realistic budget and time frame and may have some suggestions to improve your building experience.

Before beginning work, we will work on a plan with you on how best to keep disturbances and disruption to a minimum. It may also take some planning to make sure you have access to all the amenities you require.

If your renovations involve several elements, such as the living room and the kitchen, the work can be done in phases, so you have access to one part of your house whilst the other areas are under renovation.

However, this can contribute to longer construction periods and costs. Alternatively, you can hire external bathroom facilities for the duration.

As small-volume custom home builders, we focus on quality over quantity. By taking on fewer projects per year, we’re able to ensure exceptional service and create unique, high-quality homes that are tailored to our clients’ lifestyles.
