Whether you are envisioning a sprawling pavilion or deciding on a Single Vs Double Story Home to capture ocean views, our architectural team guides you through every layout decision. Every custom build starts with architectural collaboration to understand who you are and how you live. We don’t just construct houses, we craft one of a kind homes designed by architects that reflect your personality, accommodate your lifestyle, and inspire your daily life on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
With architectural leadership at the forefront of our approach, we collaborate with visionary architects and designers to push boundaries and create homes that stand apart. Your custom home becomes a testament to both architectural excellence and your unique way of living.
From initial consultation to final handover, we guide you through every step of creating your custom house with clear communication and award winning Master Builder craftsmanship.
We begin with a simple conversation to understand the overall vision, needs, and personal style. In this conversation, we focus on creating a personal connection and explaining the design build approach. This is where we explore the reason for the project, discuss family needs, and dive into their design preferences.
The team will review all documentation related to the project and review our construction slot planner for proposed start dates. We will discuss our expected build cost to ensure that it aligns with the clients budget and visit the proposed build address to gauge a better understand of the landscape and site requirements.
During this session, we discuss next steps and whether the client needs assistance with building designers or already has a team in place, setting the stage for a collaborative process moving forward.
Every client’s journey is unique and some journeys will be longer than others. Our team will work with you throughout to ensure your comfort and confidence in Gold Leaf Constructions.
We will hold a detailed initial meeting, whether onsite or in the office. This meeting provides an opportunity to review specific site conditions and explore the client’s ideas in greater depth. We ensure every aspect of their vision is understood and incorporated into the plan.
Gold Leaf Constructions are connected with a broad range of leading creative bodies who are ready to collaborate and bring your ideas to life. Our direct GLC team extends to create a collaborative and cohesive network around you and your project.
We work with leading architects, designers and suppliers to ensure that your budget is respected without compromising on quality. If you haven’t already found a designer or architect, or don’t know where to start, we can guide you toward one which will suit your style, personality and ambitions.
Collaborating closely with building and interior designers ensures that all parties are aligned with the project goals from the beginning. This approach guarantees a smooth transition from design to construction and handover.
Once the project concept is approved and all parties are happy with the concept, we move into a PA and the detailed design and costing begins.
This phase includes detailed working drawings, joinery elevations and electrical plans. Our team can manage the process with all necessary consultants, including soil testing, engineering, and other reports required for building approval if you wish, or you can take the lead directly.
This comprehensive approach ensures that every detail is covered. At the end of this stage, we provide a detailed costing of the project with a tender submission and work with you to provide any further value engineering to align the budget if required.
We consult our trusted subcontractors for feedback and quotes for works. Having our trades view the project ahead of time, ensures that they are also prepared for your project and they can give us any advice in their specialty trade.
During this stage, we also refine the plans and finalise material and interior selections. We work with you to bring all of your finishes, fixtures, textures and design features together. You will be supported at each of the showroom consultations as you make selections if you don’t have an interior designer to guide you.
After the detailed design and pricing have been finalised, we prepare a fixed fee contract based on the approved project plans. This contract outlines the scope, timeline, and investment required for the project.
Once all parties have signed the industry standard contract, a deposit is paid and we proceed with the necessary certifications and coordinate the documentation required for construction to commence.
We manage the entire construction process with clear communication and regular updates via a project management platform Procore.
You’ll be kept up to date with fortnightly detailed progress updates, photos and 24/7 access to your project. Our team ensures that the client remains informed and engaged throughout the process by providing regular progress reports and scheduling site walkthroughs.
This transparency and collaboration help the client witness their vision come to life, culminating in a smooth handover of the completed home.
We will provide you with an estimated timeline for when the handover of your new home is expected to take place, pending weather conditions haven’t impacted the schedule. As the project nears completion, a specific handover date will be confirmed. On handover day, Kyle will walk you through your home and provide the necessary paperwork and appliance manuals.
We want to maintain a good relationship with you as our client, not tick you off as another number. After 6 months we will follow up to see how you are settling in. We like to come back and walk around the home with you to see how it’s all looking. We will then take care of any minor adjustments where required.
Once you have settled into your home, we will contact you to arrange a photo shoot with our Photographer. You will receive copies of the photos and we will showcase your home on our website and social media.

They provide excellent service to myself as the designer and also my clients, many of whom have had no previous experience with builders or construction. Communicating their program, troubleshooting any issues that may arise and ensuring that the design intent is fulfilled are all evident in Gold Leaf Constructions projects.

Their communication was always clear, they were task focused, solution driven, and very pragmatic. They are also very family focused, and that was really nice to see. We couldn’t be happier with what they’ve created.

Gold Leaf Constructions proudly services the entire Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions, including Noosa, Caloundra, and the hinterland. If your site is situated in a location that demands special access or delivery considerations, we’ll happily assess its suitability.
Every project is unique. Generally, small to medium renovations may take around 6 months, while larger custom homes typically range between 12 to 18 months depending on complexity and client decisions during pre-construction. We’re committed to providing realistic timelines from the outset.
The PA is an initial agreement that allows us to collaborate closely with you during the early stages of your project. It covers services such as site assessments, preliminary designs, and cost estimations. This ensures we align your vision with practical considerations before entering into a full construction contract.
Yes, but not immediately. The PSA is a stand alone agreement to guide design and costing. Once your design and scope are finalised, we then prepare your fixed price building contract. The PSA phase reduces the risk of surprises and ensures your contract is realistic, accurate, and in line with your vision.
We prioritise transparency and meticulous planning. By engaging in the PSA phase, we identify potential challenges early and provide detailed cost breakdowns. Our commitment is to deliver your project without unexpected expenses.
We understand that adjustments may arise. Our change management process is structured to assess the impact on time and cost, ensuring you make informed decisions. All changes are documented and approved before implementation.
At Gold Leaf Constructions, we’re committed to long term quality and peace of mind. In line with QBCC regulations, we provide a 6 year and 6 month structural warranty to cover any major structural issues. For non structural concerns, while the statutory Defects Liability Period is 6 months, we go a step further offering a 12 month maintenance period as a reflection of the care and confidence we place in our work. We proudly stand behind every home we build.
Residential construction work in Queensland valued at over $3,300 requires QBCC Home Warranty Insurance. This provides essential protection for homeowners against non completion, defects, and subsidence for up to 6 years and 6 months. GLC arranges this on your behalf, and you’ll receive your Certificate of Insurance directly from the QBCC.
Prime Cost (PC) items are allowances for fixtures or finishes that haven’t been selected at the time of contract such as tapware or tiles. Provisional Sums (PS) are allowances for works where the full scope isn’t known yet like site excavation. Both are estimated with reasonable accuracy upfront, and any changes are discussed transparently as selections or site conditions evolve.
Yes, we encourage client involvement. Scheduled site visits can be arranged to walk you through the progress and address any questions you might have. Safety protocols will be in place during these visits.
Not at all. We’re happy to work with your chosen architect or introduce you to a designer that suits your project style and location. We’ve formed long standing relationships with some of the best designers in the region and can assist in assembling the right team for your home.
Absolutely. We have a history of successful collaborations with various architects and designers, including Reitsma & Associates. Our goal is to bring your vision to life, whether it’s through our in house team or external partners.
Absolutely. We maintain full insurance coverage, including $20 million public liability insurance and comprehensive annual contract works insurance giving our clients peace of mind every step of the way.
