IF YOU’RE STILL SEARCHING FOR A SYDNEY BUILDER YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST

Read this First

If you own a property in Sydney, this page is for you.
HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING FOR CLEAR ANSWERS ABOUT:

What you can build?
What will it cost?
Who will do the work?

We have the info you need.

Most homeowners don’t have a building problem.

They have a certainty problem.

  • They've done the research.
  • Collected the quotes.
  • Read the reviews.
  • Visited the display villages.

And they still can’t move forward.

Not because they lack options. Because every option they’ve found has disappointed them in the past.

At VIVO Homes, we don’t start by showing you a project. We start by telling you the truth about yours.

  • Your block.
  • Your goals.
  • Your budget.
  • Your approval pathway.
  • Your realistic timeline.
Then we deliver exactly what we said we would.
  • No guesswork.
  • No vague answers.
  • Read the reviews.

Clear advice, honest pricing, and one dedicated team. We’re with you from the first chat until you get your keys.

Custom Homes Sydney

A HOME DESIGNED AROUND YOUR FAMILY,
YOUR LIFESTYLE AND YOUR LAND.

A custom home gives you the opportunity to build around the way you actually live
  • Not a template.
  • Not a compromise.
  • Not a design that almost works.

Most project home builders offer you five facade options and call it customisation. You end up paying display-home prices for a house that doesn’t quite fit.

 

Vivo Homes is different.

We start with your block — its orientation, its constraints, its approval pathway and build from there. We help you understand what’s possible before making design decisions. We also discuss realistic costs and any
needed approvals.

Is this right for you?

  • Are you building on a vacant block and want a design that reflects how your family actually lives?
  • Are you replacing an existing home that no longer fits your life?
  • Are you tired of project home templates that almost work but never quite do?
  • Do you want someone to tell you the real costs and real timeline before you commit — not after?

Granny Flats Sydney

TURN YOUR BACKYARD INTO A USEFUL SPACE, REAL INCOME OR LONG-TERM VALUE.

A well-built granny flat can generate $450–$650 per week in rental income in the Hills District.

  • It can give an ageing parent independence without distance.
  • It can add measurable value to your property.

But before any of that happens, you need to know whether your block is actually suitable.

 

Many homeowners find out too late that their zoning, lot size, setbacks or site conditions create problems the original quote never accounted for.

 

Sandra has spent 18 years navigating Sydney’s planning and approvals system. She can tell you right away if your block works. She’ll explain the
approval pathway and the real costs. This is all before you commit to anything.

“Three other builders wanted $20,000 upfront, with no certainty the council would even approve it. That made me very uncomfortable. Sandra stood out. She checked the site and took measurements. She was sure we could build there. None of the other builders even came to look. At one point, they told me a job would cost less than quoted, so they reduced the price. On a scale of 1 to 10, they’re a 10.”

— Dewash Chand, Northcott Rd, Lalor Park

Is this right for you?

  • Are you sitting on a block with unused backyard space and wondering what it's actually worth?
  • Do you want rental income from your property without selling it?
  • Have various builders given you different quotes? Are you unsure who to trust?
  • Do you want someone to check your site first before you spend a cent?

Dual Occupancy Sydney

UNLOCK MORE VALUE FROM YOUR LAND — WITH A CLEAR DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY BEFORE YOU COMMIT.

A dual occupancy project can turn a single residential block into a performing asset. Two dwellings. One title. More options — to live, to rent, to sell.

 

But it also requires careful planning that most builders skip.

  • Zoning.
  • Frontage.
  • Lot dimensions.
  • Access.
  • Services.
  • Approval pathway.
  • Construction cost structure.

You should assess everything before deciding if the numbers work. Don’t wait until after you’ve signed a contract to find out they don’t.

 

Vivo Homes helps you understand whether dual occupancy is viable on your specific block.

 

We have completed dual-occupancy projects in Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Box Hill, Castle Hill, and surrounding suburbs. Bill has overseen more than 1,000 residential construction projects across North-West Sydney. He’s not running your project from an office. He’s on site.

Is this right for you?

  • Are you sitting on a block that could support two dwellings, but aren't sure whether it qualifies?
  • Do you want to maximise the development potential of a property before deciding whether to sell or build?
  • Are you planning for rental income, multi-generational living or a long-term investment?
  • Do you want a frank assessment of whether the numbers actually work before you commit?

Renovations & Extensions Sydney

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE. FIX THE HOME THAT NO LONGER FITS YOUR LIFE ANYMORE.

  • The suburb is right.
  • The schools are right.
  • The community is right.

But the home? The home hasn’t kept up.

  • The kitchen was designed for a different family.
  • The living spaces feel disconnected.
  • The kids need rooms that don't exist yet.
  • The backyard sits unused because the indoor flow never made sense.

Moving isn’t the only answer.
And it’s often the more expensive one.

A smart renovation or extension can provide the space and flow you need. You won’t have to leave the home where you’ve built your life.

 

Vivo Homes has completed renovations and extensions across the Hills District, Inner West and surrounding suburbs. We manage planning, approvals and construction from start to finish. You’ll receive weekly updates without having to ask for them. And the people you meet on day one are still accountable on the day you move back in.

Is this right for you?

  • Have you been putting off a renovation because the process feels too hard to manage?
  • Is your home running out of space for the family you have now?
  • Do you want to stay in your suburb instead of moving, but need the home to actually work for you?
  • Are you worried about variations, blowouts and a builder who disappears after signing?

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

The Same Standard Across Every Project

Whether we are building a custom home, a granny flat, a dual occupancy, or a renovation, the VIVO standard never moves.

Clear Advice Before You Commit

We tell you what’s possible before you make any major decisions.
  • Your site.
  • Your goals.
  • Your budget.
  • Your approval pathway.
  • Your realistic timeline.
All of it, in plain language, before you’ve committed to anything.
Transparent, Fixed-Price Certainty
We do significant work before we price a project. We first investigate your site, your approval pathway, and your construction requirements. Then we give you a price. The goal is to identify what the project actually involves before construction begins, not during it.
  • No hidden costs.
  • No unexpected variations.
  • No unpleasant surprises halfway through the build.
Approvals Expertise From Day One
Sandra has spent 18 years navigating Sydney’s planning and approvals system. Not outsourced. Not delegated. She owns it across every project, from the first assessment. CDC vs DA strategy.
  • Council relationships.
  • NCC compliance.
  • Planning controls.
Applied solutions from day one. This way, the issues other builders face during construction won’t affect you.
On-Site Construction Accountability
Bill has personally managed more than 1,000 residential construction projects across North-West Sydney.
  • He is still on-site for yours.
  • Actively involved.
  • Maintaining standards.
  • Accountable in a way a rotating site manager never can be.

The person responsible for the build remains accountable for the outcome.
That’s increasingly rare in this industry. It’s standard at VIVO Homes.
