Welcome to Emphasis Homes

As a family owned and operated business we take pride in our workmanship and treat every build as if it were our own.

Emphasis Homes is a locally owned and operated Design and Build company that has been building high quality homes since its inception in 2019.

With over 30 years of collective experience in the industry, providing labour to build homes as Emphasis Construction, (as well as each of us building our own homes!), we truly understand what works and what doesn’t. This is why we took the leap and launched Emphasis Homes to offer our customers the complete package!

Over the years we have established a process and a way of working with clients that enables you to take the lead on design and what you envision, with us guiding and supporting you at critical junctures to ensure you remain on budget. Our entire team problem-solve and innovate together to overcome any potential hurdles.  This ensures any construction limitations and potential obstacles are considered and resolved before an issue can arise.

Background

Emphasis was originally operating as a labour only building company working on award winning homes under the guidance of its founding owner Rob for over 15 years.

Long story short Rob met Derek, when he was contracted to build his home in Whitford, and it was a meeting of like minds.

He soon realised that they didn’t build exclusively for the building company he had chosen. They were splitting their time contracting to different companies which resulted in delays on site.

Derek saw an opportunity and a genuine gap in the market for a company that employed their own team across the Design and Build stages for a seamless and more efficient approach. Derek, along with Tayla and Rob, founded Emphasis Homes, to provide a seamless, cohesive building process for its clients.

Emphasis Homes was established in 2019 and continues to make its mark in the industry, driven by the passion and values of a family-owned business.

“We could see the gap in the market for a locally owned design & build company with our infrastructure. We are able to provide a service that has owners engaging with its customers to ensure there is no breakdown in communication or quality!”

The Emphasis Way

We put the emphasis into paying attention to even the littlest details;

We pride ourselves on building great relationships with every client so that they feel part of our team.

We provide a stellar level of service, ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience with integrity and transparency throughout your building journey.

What do our customers say?

The best way to sing the praises of Emphasis Homes is to answer the question: “If you were to do this again would you use them?”

The answer is an unequivocal YES!

From the first meeting we felt the team were approachable and would go out of their way to make things work! Despite Covid and lockdowns the house was built and we can’t be happier!

Their workmanship is top notch and we feel blessed to have a house that is so well built. The guidance from the team and gentle reminders to make important decisions made the process exciting and seamless.

We have built a great relationship with them and can’t recommend them highly enough!

From concept to completion our new home build with Emphasis was absolutely effortless. 

Every single member of the team is friendly, approachable, accommodating and understanding but most importantly efficient and professional.

We loved the process of building our own home and the team at Emphasis allowed us all the creativity and flexibility required to complete our vision. Our new home is flawless and even better than we could have imagined.

Thanks to Emphasis, the process was so enjoyable we can’t wait to build another one!

My experience with Emphasis Homes was positive all the way through.

Our vision and goals were met with diligence and timeliness by the team; despite the ongoing pandemic and lockdowns the team was steadfast in delivering the finished product to our satisfaction.

From the very beginning, we found Emphasis very professional but at the same time, friendly.

They were very patient and ready to listen to all of our ideas and willing to go that extra mile to make things happen. Their communication is excellent and they were always ready to answer all of our questions.

Emphasis managed & co-ordinated our design process with their architect which was followed by the estimation process. All of this was quite hassle free, transparent and super smooth.

As a building company, they don’t just read but also analyse the architect’s drawings with a great deal of effort. This ensures they understand the intent and the vision that we had poured into designing our house. The master builder/project manager appointed for our house is very dedicated to his trade, friendly and easy to communicate with.

Kate and I can safely conclude by saying that Emphasis build homes through their heart and not just their mind.
