Builder Profile: Fairhaven Homes

Fairhaven has proudly been building quality homes for over a decade, celebrating their 10-year anniversary last year. The company was built from scratch, starting as a boutique custom home builder. From there the goal of bringing families’ dreams to reality has transformed them into a high-quality volume builder, holding onto the vision, values & ethics installed in the beginning which have carried them through over the last decade.

Fairhaven aims to be an industry leader, placing particular value on being ‘accountable, approachable, professional, honest, and compassionate’. These words are written on the walls around their head office to remind all of the vision to achieve the highest level of satisfaction, in everything that they do!

The award-winning Hastings 371 by Fairhaven Homes

What’s on offer?
Fairhaven has 3 ranges of homes, all of which are available as House & Land packages across Melbourne.

Simplicity: The First Home Buyer based range which also offers low-deposit finance options. Simplicity includes lower price points on House & Land along with Medium Density Townhouse developments available.

Bridgewater: The mid-tier range offers homes from 15-36 squares and is all about value. An affordable product with incredible inclusions and designs which won’t break the bank. Perfect for an upgrade of the family home.

Elegance: The luxury range consisting of larger homes from 32-51 squares includes an immaculate level of inclusion. Popular with high end Knock Down Re-Build clients, Fairhaven’s expert KDRB consultants make the process extremely easy.

The Hastings 371 was awarded the HIA Eastern Victoria Display Home $400,001 – $500,000

What are the key selling points of Fairhaven?

  • We are a very approachable, family orientated business. When you build with Fairhaven you have a tailored more personal experience, receiving far more care than dealing with a larger nation-wide builder.
  • Value, our product offers incredible value for money being affordable yet with incredible inclusions. Our Fairhaven Slab Solution is just one example of how we can lower your costs.
  • Flexibility, we have a product to suit any family & any budget.


What advice would you give to a first home buyer or someone looking to invest in a Fairhaven home?
Finance First: It’s really important that having your finances checked over by an expert is your first step, our Mortgage Brokers at Vanguard Finance can quickly assess your situation and give you the green light and set your budget.

Build Your Team: Having experts on your team to coach and advise you is a huge help to make sure the process is easy and you don’t overlook any important items. Let our consultants do all the hard work and research for you, making the process easy and stress-free.

Get Your Foot in The Door: Your first home is more often than not a stepping stone in your property journey. It pays to get into the market where you can and not fuss too much about cosmetic features, remember your end goal and the reason you are purchasing your Investment Property or First Home.

What are the hurdles that you encounter most frequently throughout the building process? How can clients prepare for these?
One issue that can arise for your new home are delays in your land title. By getting advice from your New Home Consultant in the form of a House & Land package you can confidently select a land developer who is known to be organised and on schedule, ensuring your timeline and new home journey goes smoothly.

Can you give your top recommendations of what to look for in a builder?
When looking for a builder some key points would be years of experience, quality finishes in your display homes and definitely word of mouth. A large amount of our business comes from friend & family referrals which is a real attribute of our business.

For information on home designs and where you can visit a display village, book a call with the team at iBuildNew, or get in touch on 1800 184 284.
