From single-storey and double-storey designs in Adelaide’s metro suburbs, to sprawling acreage homes in Mount Barker, Strathalbyn and the Murraylands—no two Stannard Family Homes are ever the same.

How We Work With Your Block

Narrow Blocks
Smart designs for 9m+ frontages, maximising space, natural light, and flow.

Split-Level Sites
Custom single or double-storey homes that follow the slope — no wasted cut-and-fill or retaining walls.

Corner Blocks
Clever layouts that make the most of dual street frontages, ensuring privacy and standout street appeal.

Acreage Homes
Spacious country builds tailored for lifestyle, views, and wide-open living across the Murraylands and Adelaide Hills.

Do you provide house & land packages?
No — we only build on land you already own. Every Stannard home is designed from the ground up to suit your block and your lifestyle, not squeezed into a developer’s package. This ensures your home fits perfectly and avoids the compromises that come with off-the-shelf solutions.

What budgets do your homes start from?
Our custom homes typically start from $550k for single-storey designs and $650k for double-storey designs. Final investment depends on the specifics of your project — including block conditions (like slope, soil, and services), council requirements, and your chosen level of finishes. We’ll provide clear guidance early in the process so you understand the likely range before moving forward.

Do you build in the Yorke Peninsula?
No. Our focus is on Adelaide metro and surrounds — including the western suburbs, southern suburbs down to Sellicks Beach, and select country areas such as Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, and the Murraylands. For some projects, we may also work in parts of the eastern suburbs depending on scope. If you’re unsure, just ask — we’ll let you know straight away whether your block is in our build zone.

Can you handle tricky sites?
Yes — this is one of our specialties. We regularly design homes for narrow blocks (as little as 9m frontages), corner sites, and split-level or sloping land. We also create acreage homes that take advantage of wide spaces, views, and natural landscapes. Our design-first approach means your home is shaped to your block, not forced onto it.

How long does the process take?
From concept to contract typically takes 8–12 weeks, depending on council approvals and the complexity of your site. Build timelines vary by project, but you’ll always have realistic expectations upfront. Through our BuilderTrend client portal, you’ll see your schedule, daily site updates, and every milestone — so you always know where things stand.

Do you source land for clients?
No — we don’t provide land. We only build on blocks you already own. This ensures we can focus 100% on designing and constructing a home that works with your site’s specific opportunities and constraints.

Do you offer design-only services?
No — our design process is always tied to a complete build. This way, your plans are fully engineered, budget-checked, and council-ready before construction starts. It also means we can guarantee that what’s designed is achievable, practical, and built to last.
