Many Builders Say "Custom". They Often Mean Customisation.

What Customisation Looks Like

  • Clear pricing
  • A few layout changes
  • A finish upgrade
  • A home still built from someone else's starting point

Where VIVO Homes Starts

  • Your Family
  • Your block
  • Your budget
  • Your approval pathway

Is This You?

Before we go further, this is not for everyone. VIVO Homes works best with homeowners who:

  • Have a clear vision, but are not sure which builder to trust with it
  • Want to understand costs and approvals before committing to anything
  • Are tired of vague quotes and want someone to be straight with them
  • Want to know who is actually accountable for their build, not just at the start, but all the way through
  • Are building in Sydney's Hills District, North West, Penrith, or Hawkesbury region

If That is you, Keep Reading.

When early decisions are made properly, the whole build has a stronger foundation.

We Start With Your Life and Design Back From There.

Before we talk about finishes, facades or floor plans, we take the time to understand how your family lives, how your children’s needs will change, and how your block, orientation and council requirements shape what is possible.

That early thinking matters, because many costly building problems begin long before construction starts.

One family we helped had paid for a full design. Then they found a setback issue that made their layout unapprovable. They lost four months and a significant design fee. The early work is designed to prevent that kind of problem.
VIVO Homes was built to do things in the right order:
  • Clear Advice
  • Design
  • Pricing
  • Construction

The Team Behind Vivo Homes

Most custom home builders focus on the build. We focus on the decision behind the build. That is where Sandra and Bill bring a rare combination.

Approvals Expertise From Day One

Sandra spent 18 years navigating Sydney’s planning and approvals system before VIVO Homes ever built its first project. During that time she handled 1’000+ residential applications across Hills District councils, Penrith, Hawkesbury, and the North West Sydney growth corridors.

That matters most when your project involves:

  • Knock down rebuild requirements
  • Council controls, setbacks and site orientation constraints
  • Stormwater, drainage and access issues
  • Design constraints from heritage or bushfire overlays
  • Approval pathway selection (CDC vs DA

“Most of the projects that go wrong, go wrong in the planning stage. Someone falls in love with a design before anyone has checked whether it’s actually approvable. We refuse to let that happen to our clients.”

On-Site Construction Accountability

Bill has personally overseen 1,000 residential construction projects across Sydney. And he remains actively involved in every VIVO Homes build.

Your build is not handed off to people you have never met. The director you meet at the start stays involved until handover.

“I’ve seen what happens when a director shakes your hand at the start and then disappears. You end up talking to project managers who weren’t in the room when the promises were made. That is not how we operate.”

Transparent Fixed-Price

The work happens before the quote. Before we prepare pricing, we investigate:
  • Your site and its constraints
  • Your scope and design direction
  • Your approval requirements and construction considerations
  • Your likely costs, itemised by category

The goal is simple: identify the unknowns early so there are fewer surprises later. Because certainty begins long before construction starts.

What Clients Say When The
Build Is Finished

Clarity Creates Confidence.
“After three years of going in circles, we were ready to give up. Vivo Homes was different from the first call. They showed us a clear pathway and stuck to it. Our build came in on budget, and somehow, the process was actually enjoyable.”

Priya & James — Kellyville

“Every other builder talked in estimates. Vivo Homes gave us a fixed, itemised and transparent price, and they never changed it. Our granny flat is performing exactly as planned.”

David Chen — Hills District

“We loved our location too much to move, but the house needed to grow with us. Vivo handled the approvals, sent weekly updates without us asking and delivered the extension on time. We’d do it again tomorrow.”

Emily & Mark — Castle Hill
