Everything you’d ask a builder — answered.

We’re based in the Macedon Ranges and build across Gisborne, New Gisborne, Bullengarook, Macedon, Mount Macedon, Woodend, Kyneton, Riddells Creek and Romsey, plus surrounding areas. We also take on the right projects in the neighbouring shires of Hepburn, Mount Alexander and Mitchell.

Casey Summerfield has been building for himself for fifteen years, and has held unlimited registration as a Victorian building practitioner for the last seven. He served his apprenticeship under one of the district’s most respected builders and has built across the Macedon Ranges and central Victoria ever since. Summerfield Homes Pty Ltd is a registered Victorian building practitioner (CDB-U 66873) and a member of the Master Builders Association Victoria.

Custom new homes, major renovations, extensions and knock-down rebuilds. We focus on bespoke, one-off homes — not volume or project homes. Our recent work gives you a sense of the range.

Yes. A large part of our work is renovations and extensions — including reworking older homes back to frame while keeping the parts worth keeping.

Start with a conversation. We can point you to a designer or architect who suits the job, and tell you what your brief to them needs to cover. We can also work from drawings you already have.

Send them through. We’ll give them a first read and an honest ballpark of where the cost is likely to land. If that stacks up for you, a preliminary agreement covers the detailed buildability review and a full quote.

Start with our Projects page. For clients who are moving toward a build with us, we can sometimes arrange a walk-through of a completed home, where the owners are happy to have us.

Yes. Summerfield Homes Pty Ltd is a registered Victorian building practitioner (CDB-U 66873) and a member of the Master Builders Association Victoria (MBAV).

Yes. Our projects start at around $200,000. Below that you’re generally better served by a smaller renovator working directly with trades, and we’d rather tell you that up front than take you through a process that was never going to suit. If you’re not sure where your project sits, give us a call and we’ll tell you.

The first conversation and an honest ballpark cost you nothing. Pricing a custom home properly is weeks of real work, so like most Victorian custom builders we do that under a preliminary agreement, with the fee agreed before we start. It’s how you get a real number instead of a guess. Our build process shows where quoting and the contract sit in the order of things.

Per-square-metre rates are misleading for custom homes — site conditions, finishes and design drive the real cost. We price your actual project, not an average.

We work to fixed-price contracts wherever possible, with prime cost (PC) and provisional sum (PS) items clearly identified so you understand exactly what is fixed and what is an allowance.

Prime Costs are allowances for items you’ll select later (like tapware or tiles); Provisional Sums are allowances for work that can’t be fully priced until more is known. We explain both in plain English before you sign.

Through progress payments tied to building stages (base, frame, lock-up, fixing, completion), as set out in your contract.

We identify site costs early and aim to fix as much as possible in the contract, flagging any items that must remain an allowance until site testing is done.

Yes. We manage the building permit and work through council and planning requirements, including overlays common in the Macedon Ranges.

Every new home meets or exceeds current Victorian energy-rating requirements, and we can build to higher performance where you want it.

It depends on scope and approvals, but we give you a realistic pre-construction and construction timeline before you commit, and we keep you updated against it. See How We Build.

Casey and his team directly. You get one point of contact who knows your project — not a call centre.

Regularly. We keep you in the loop with updates through each stage and you’re welcome to visit the site by arrangement.

Yes, within reason. Variations are documented and costed clearly before any work proceeds, so there are no surprises on your final account.

Yes. Summerfield Homes Pty Ltd is a registered Victorian Building Practitioner (CDB-U 66873), licensed and insured, with domestic building warranty insurance provided as required for eligible projects.

Your build is covered by domestic building warranty insurance and the statutory structural warranty period under Victorian law, plus our own defects and after-care period. Specific terms are set out in your contract.

We stand behind our work. There’s a defects/maintenance period after handover, and because we’re local, we’re easy to reach long after the job is done.
