Custom Homes for the Sunshine Coast, Built on Three Decades of Trust 

Some builders build houses. New Designer Homes builds homes that genuinely reflect the people who live in them, and they’ve been doing it on the Sunshine Coast since 1988.

Originally founded by Graham New & now owned by Builder & Managing Director, Matt Turton, the business carries over three decades of reputation into every project it takes on. Matt’s path to ownership is the kind that inspires confidence, more than 15 years as Head Carpenter and two years as Supervisor before stepping into the role, giving him an in-depth understanding of both the craft and the culture that long-term clients have come to rely on. You’ll often find him on site, not overseeing from a distance, but genuinely present and personally invested in the outcome.

New Designer Homes builds to your plan or theirs, with true custom design and no off-the-shelf templates. The team keeps build volumes intentionally low, with over 130 years of combined experience across a small, dedicated crew who know every project by name. When you call, you speak with someone who knows your home. And when handover day arrives, it isn’t really the end; the New Designer Homes team returns 12 months later for a maintenance check to make sure everything continues to perform as it should. Their work is largely referral-driven, which says everything about how each build is managed.

For homeowners planning a custom new build, knockdown-rebuild, or architecturally designed home on the Sunshine Coast, New Designer Homes is the kind of builder worth having in your corner from the very first conversation.
