Many of their clients spend days exploring the region sourcing inspiration, they come to them enlightened and energised to create their dream home. Today, people in the market are diligently researching local builders that will deliver to their word and achieve their vision. "Every conversation is valuable, we listen, learn and ask questions. We want to understand our clients' lifestyle, needs and budget so we can tailor a home design that's suitable and within their means," Mr Ellett said. "We want customising to be easy for the client. We often use simple techniques like lifting the ceiling height or widening windows to make the home feel brighter and more spacious.
