At IDH Custom Builders we believe each of our homes is a work of art – a skilful blend of your personality and the talents of our designers to create a singular masterpiece.
Our display home has been specifically designed to suit the block and is purely to show the quality of our workmanship and our standard inclusions. This two-storey display home has been purposely built to suit the block of land at the Arise Estate.
A very professional, friendly and helpful experience from all at IDH from the planning stage to the completed build of our new home. during the construction process we were in touch with Glen regularly and found that our requests for minor changes to be made were always met with an obliging "no problem" attitude. If you are looking for a company who will keep the stress levels down and give you a well designed and built home then we recommend that you try IDH Custom Builders.

Choosing to build with I.D.H. Custom Builders has honestly been one of the best decisions we have ever made. The process of designing our home was an enjoyable experience and the end result is a home that caters exactly to our needs with that extra WOW factor that IDH excels at delivering. The communication from day one was second to none. Glen and Neil were never too busy to answer our questions or concerns and would go above and beyond to help us in anyway possible - this made our building experience far less stressful than we ever imagined. Living next door to our build we were able to watch the whole process very closely. Every tradesman that came on site not only delivered quality workmanship but was also extremely professional and courteous. We are so unbelievably happy with our new home and the standard it has been built to. IDH Custom Builders eye for detail and the delivery of perfection is why we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to build a new home. Jasen and Kerrie Johnson Mundoolun

From the very first day we walked into I D H display home and met Roy we were made very welcome.As we were first time builders Roy explained the process clearly and drew up a plan that was almost spot on, a few little tweaks and we were done.We next met Tracey to choose colours, fittings, doors,etc.The building process with Glen Bobbermien went without a hitch. The communication was A 1, and we were all ways allowed access through out the build. We were made to feel like part of the family with every one involved with the build, a tremendous team.We are very happy with our home and would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.Regards John & Robyn Oosthoek

We found IDH through the Rochdale estate display homes. Rod came to our home within days to investigate our site and discuss with us our design hopes. With just our mocked up graph paper, Rod turned our visions into a workable solution for our unique block. Over a couple of months (with two young children to work around) we worked closely with Rod to not only achieve a beautifully designed home to our needs, but also ensure our design was able to be executed by their builders within a reasonable budget. Rod was patient and explained how things work, to two novice homebuilders.
After our design was locked in, we had the pleasure of meeting with Tracey to get into the devil of the detail of colour selections. Tracey was knowledgeable in her suggestions and provided us much needed guidance, whilst respecting our personal preferences. Tracey has spent a lot of time following up details to ensure our house has the functionality we desire with a beautiful finish. We a knock down to coordinate, as well as a new build, we have really appreciated the guidance IDH have been able to provide during this busy process.
All of the business partners we have dealt with thus far also share the IDH brand of friendly professionalism. We are just about to complete and sign off on all of our design choices and are excited about our build to begin. Can’t wait to see our dreams come to life!

Highly recommend going to IDH for anyone hoping to design and build a dream home that works for them. My wife and I had an exceptional experience working with Rod Ballard at Rochedale.
My wife and I were looking at a block with difficult dimensions to build. While looking for a conventional builders design that might just fit at Rochedale we met with Rod Ballard at IDH.
Rod was so professional and experienced, and he told us things about our specific block that we had wanted answers with, and things we didn't even consider. He helped explain to us the setback requirements for our corner block, the side and back setbacks, height requirements and how the awning came into this. He also explained to us about position the house, rooms, and windows for the best use of the outlook of the block - something the none of the 'off the plan' consultants mentioned, or their layouts could achieve.
My wife and I were on a budget, and Rod was able to tailor the design of the home to make most effective use of the space with this in mind. Rod showed us, and designed, things we didn't realize impacted the cost, such as vertically stacked wet spaces (bathrooms above each other on different floors) as well as houses being double story, but not over the garage because of the extra support costs.
We met with Rod twice to discuss alterations to the layout of them home that meant we were able to design something my wife and I could live in now, and grow into in the future. With a downstairs bedroom and full bathroom that our parents could use, if need be.
An off the plan build is a good option. You get a lovely modern home and it can be cost effective at the low end, you can get a good design with average modern finishes, but if you start to customize or request better finishes, the value diminished in my opinion.
On our modest budget, my wife and I were able to design a home with Rod that had all the layout features of a much more expensive home; a scullery, walk in pantry, multiple en-suites and walk in robes, all within a floor plan that made the most use of our unique block and outlook.
If you plan to build for the long term, its surely a wise choice to make the layout and outlook of your house, something that can't be easily changed or increased down the track, your top priority. My wife and I also felt that, at our price point, the finishes shown at the IDH display home were excellent, without being excessive, and far more in tune with what we would want to live with long term - as opposed to some of the garish furnishing the off the plan builders put in their top of the range spec'd (and out priced) display homes.
