OUR SERVICES EXPLAINED:

architect designed houses

Architect designed houses by Fasham.

We have been designing and building individual homes for individual clients for over Thirty-four years. Most of our clients are experienced home owners seeking, perhaps for the first time, a home designed just for us. We provide both the design, and the estimation of construction cost, from internal resources. We have an intimate understanding of both. We design to your budget.

Our designs are individual, responding directly to your requirements and to the nature of your site. We have knowledge and experience that reflect a detailed understanding of the construction process. Our clients understand and find, to their lasting joy, that individuality has a higher immediate cost but yields dividends in terms of lifestyle and higher returns over time.

melbourne builders

Melbourne builders, Fasham, have been designing and building homes for over thirty-four years. The team at Fasham's Melbourne head office have vast experience as builders of individually designed homes, environmental houses and eco homes. Our builders excel with every contemporary house build. Our phrase, Light and Space, refers to our commitment to building solar designed houses using the orientaion of the sun as the key element.

solar design homes

Fasham offer a full service of options related to solar design in new homes. Our true ethos in design is to use the orientation of the sun's path across the site to maximise potential sunlight into the living areas.

bushfire re-building

Fasham are proud to announce our bushfire rebuilding program. Not a day goes by in our business that we are not, in some way, reminded of the awful events of the Black Saturday bushfire. With re-building in the bushfire re-building zone now tentatively under way there is no part of our organisation untouched by the cautious return of survivors to those towns and villages whose names are known to every Victorian.

marysville builder

As one of the most bushfire affected towns, Maysville has started to see re-building efforts begin in earnest.Many builder based professionals are working hard with the community to re-build- Fasham is once builder who is offering to help residents with the replacement of homes lost to the bushfire.

kinglake builder

We are builders, not emergency workers or rescue personnel, so unlike those brave men and women, our view of that terrible day was at a distance. But as builder professionals with a long connection to the hills and valleys of the bushfire area, including Kinglake, we have a role to play in the renewal, as former clients become current clients once more.

Fasham have built many homes in the St Andrews area and are helping to re-shape the environment since the bushfires wreaked havoc. A builder of concience, Fasham are helping families rebuild both their houses and lives.

bushfire re-building victoria

Fasham have more experience than we might wish for in bushfire re-building in the state of Victoria, having been also involved in the aftermath of Ash Wednesday, in 1983. We learned then, as we are finding now that, whilst the construction tasks are straightforward, bushfire-impacted clients often need particular assistance in dealing with the challenging (and sometimes contradictory) regulatory environment that can emerge in the wake of such an event when trying to come to terms with re-building in a bushfire affected area. Our design personnel have therefore kept abreast of all developments in this regard.

One thing has not changed. There is something intrinsic to our contemporary design approach—an inherently natural look—that works wonderfully well in bush and rural settings. Whilst the circumstances that have brought these clients back may be deeply sad, the original motivation—good individual design—remains as relevant as ever. We are pleased to be quietly playing our part in the re-building of homes in bushfire affected Victoria.

We design and build individual homes for individual clients. Over Thirty-four years we have evolved a business model that seems to work well for our clients, comprising mostly experienced home owners seeking, perhaps for the first time, a home designed just for us.

The dilemma for most design professionals is that they are not in a position to provide a construction cost to clients until the finished design has been put to tender. Anectodal accounts, not least from clients who have come to us after bad experiences, suggest that this process is fraught with instances of construction costs that exceed - sometimes by very large amounts - the nominated budget.
Where these design professionals are disconnected from that critical tension between design and construction cost, we are absolutely connected.
We provide both the design, and the estimation of construction cost, from internal resources. We have an intimate understanding of both. We design to your budget.

Our designs are individual, responding directly to your requirements and to the nature of your site.
Critically though, they reflect a detailed understanding of the construction process. Where there may be an expensive way to achieve a particular design outcome, and a less expensive alternative delivering the same look or effect, we - as builders - have the knowledge and experience to propose the lower-cost solution.

Our clients understand that individuality has both a higher initial cost and, prospectively, a higher return. And they find, to their lasting joy, that it has a higher immediate dividend in terms of lifestyle.

Our Beliefs :

• The path of the sun in relation to your site is the single most important design influence on home design
• Houses are for living in, not looking at. The way a homes inner spaces live, the flow from one area to another, the view looking out, the sense of light and space, will have far greater impact on the lives of those within than from any view from the street
• We have always understood the value of light and space, delivering these attributes through our preferred design style.
• We are contemporary by belief, instinct and experience.
• We frequently combine primarily flat roofs with feature roof forms (eg. curved, saw-tooth, push-up), generally over central living areas, that deliver distinctive archetectural outcomes and flood light into interiors.
• Trees are to be respected. Where posssible the home design should adapt to existing trees.
