Choosing the Right Builder

Range of Pre-Designed Homes

If you’re looking to build an investment property, you’re likely looking to cut the fluff & simplify the process with a pre-designed home. Look for builders with a range of options, to suit multiple lots.

Singh Homes have over 50 home designs available, and these do come with some customisation abilities, providing options for various lifestyles and budgets. Their careful planning and focus on customer satisfaction make them a strong choice for those seeking reliable and functional living spaces. Singh Homes build around 300 homes per year, so they’re experts at getting the job done quickly. 

Having grown from being a small family business, into a respected builder with a strong presence in the Melbourne housing market, their success is built on a foundation of hard work, integrity, and a dedication to customer satisfaction.

Over the years, Singh Homes has continually adapted to the evolving needs of their clients, incorporating the latest building technologies and design trends into their projects.

Building in Prime Locations

Choose a builder who operates in prime locations, for your investment property. Building in an in-demand area is a great way to ensure the enduring value of your investment. Singh Homes operate in popular suburbs within Melbourne’s North, West and South East outer-metro areas. 


These areas include locations for master planned communities, where growing numbers of prospective-buyers are looking to move. Understanding the importance of location in property investment, they’ve aligned their build regions with areas of high growth potential, excellent infrastructure, and strong rental demand.


Singh Homes offer both knockdown rebuilds and greenfield builds. This flexibility enables buyers to decide how best to maximise on the return on investment.
