As a custom home builder in Bayside, AGN Builders works exclusively on one-off, architect-designed homes — meaning every project we take on is unique. Unlike volume builders who work from a standard library of designs, we work directly with you and your architect from the very first consultation through to handover, ensuring your home is tailored entirely to your block, your budget and your lifestyle.
We take on a select number of projects each year, which means you get direct access to our director George Nionakis on site throughout the entire build. This hands-on approach is what sets us apart as a custom home builder in Bayside and is why our clients consistently recommend us to family and friends. We also offer a full range of Bayside renovations & extensions for homeowners looking to transform their existing property.

The family home will generally be the greatest investment you make in your lifetime. Not only is it a big financial commitment, it will also be an emotional commitment. As you plan your new home one of the first decisions you will make is to go with a smaller custom-home builder, or one of the big volume builders.
The main difference between the two is custom-home builders are generally small construction businesses who specialise in unique builds, with each home they build being a little different to the last. A custom-home builder can design and prepare plans based on your specific requirements and site, or build from plans provided by the client. They also have a higher standard of construction principles, giving a premium quality and finish. One of the benefits in choosing this type of builder is the flexibility and choice you have as you work collaboratively with your builder to design and select the fixtures and finishes you want.
Generally, when you work with a custom-home builder you work with the builder directly. He will assist you through all stages of the building project.
Volume builders operate by providing a range of standard designs they have in their library. They are generally not site specific, so don’t allow for layout flexibility. Usually, your choice of fixtures and fittings is limited.
| Custom Home Builder | Volume Builder | |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Bring your own plans or work with your builder to design your own | Limited choice from a standard library |
| Layout | Prepared to your site requirements | Limited flexibility |
| Fixtures and fittings | Choose your own | Limited choice |
| Communication | Work directly with your builder | Talk to a salesperson |
Before choosing a builder it is important to get a sense of how much the building works will cost. A good start is to request between three to five quotes from reputable builders. Any more than five quotes can lead to further confusion and prolong the comparison process. Ensure each builder receives the same information and you will be able to make a direct comparison and an informed decision on your building works.
The level of detail you provide to the builder will be the difference in getting a fixed price quote or estimate. The best way to get clear comparable quotes is to provide a complete tender package. A tender package is a complete set of plans and documents designed to tell the builder about the project and what he needs to build. A tender package should contain:
Before signing a building contract to engage a builder to undertake building works, ask the following questions to help you make an informed decision:
A Builder must be registered with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) to perform any building works over $5000 in Victoria. Before you engage a builder, check the status of their registration at www.vba.vic.gov.au, go to the ‘Find a Practitioner’ tab, enter the builder’s name and complete the security check.

George and Andrew are both members of Master Builders Association and Housing Industry Association (HIA). We actively participate in continuing professional development programs to ensure we are consistently up to date with industry changes and innovations.
There are a few considerations before a price can be given. These include:
After considering all of these factors a price guide can be given.
We have a strict quality control procedure. Checks are carried out during construction and at the completion of every trade and construction stage. George takes a hands-on approach and is constantly on site overseeing all trades. This ensures we identify any areas of concern early and have them rectified promptly. During site visits we encourage our clients to be diligent in pointing out any areas of concern.
We build homes throughout the Melbourne metropolitan region, the Mornington Peninsula and the Bellarine Peninsula. Key suburbs we work in include Cheltenham, Highett, Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Hampton, Hampton East, Sandringham, Black Rock, Beaumaris, Brighton, Brighton East, Bentleigh, Bentleigh East, McKinnon, Malvern East, Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Canterbury and Glen Iris.
The construction time for a project will vary depending on the complexity of the development and the level of finish. AGN Builders will be able to give you a timeframe during the initial consultation after reviewing your building documents in detail.
Absolutely! Communication is key and working in partnership with our clients is critical to our success. Regular site meeting are scheduled to discuss progress, milestones, works coming up and selections, if needed.
