Thoughtfully Designed Spaces For Your Home
Visualise Your New Home Before It’s Built
Before building begins, we take the time to get every detail right, from the floorplan flow to your finishes. Our design process helps you picture your future home clearly, make confident decisions early, and avoid changes or delays later on.
Why families value our design process
- Confirms room sizes, layout and how the space will really feel
- Locks in key finishes early for fixed-price certainty
- Makes complex decisions easier with expert guidance along the way

- Fixed pricing based on detailed site assessments and finish schedules
- Live updates and walkthroughs and no avoidable delays on our end
What You’re Really Paying for in a Custom Home
Every custom home is unique, and so is the final price. Here are the main factors that can influence how much your build will cost:
- Your block – Slopes or narrow sites need extra prep and smart design.
- Size and layout – Bigger or more detailed homes take more time and materials.
- Materials and finishes – Premium choices can increase costs, but we help you choose wisely.
- Council requirements – Heritage or special zones may add extra approvals, but we manage this for you.
Our Simple 4-Step process
01 Site & Feasibility
We inspect your block and provide a clear budget range within two days to prevent surprises and delays.
02 Custom Design
You approve full-scale concept plans before pricing is fixed, so there are no unexpected changes later.
03 Fixed‑Price Contract & Build
We use a fixed-price contract, give you weekly updates, and arrange independent inspections for transparency and peace of mind.
04 Handover & After‑Care
You receive your keys, warranties, and a final walk-through, plus ongoing support with a 90-day tune-up and six-year structural cover.
Your New Home Starts with a Knockdown
Love your location but not your layout? For many Balwyn North families, rebuilding is a smarter, clearer choice than renovating or moving. We help you decide if knocking down and starting fresh is the right step for your family.
Is Rebuilding Right for You?
✔ Your current home no longer fits your lifestyle
✔ Renovation costs are more than half the price of rebuilding
✔ You love the location but not the house
✔ Want to maximise block potential
✔ Current home has structural issues

Sloping sites can be tricky, but we’ve successfully built many custom homes on challenging Balwyn North blocks. We handle every site issue upfront so you know exactly what to expect and how much it will cost before you sign.
What We Solve Before We Build
✔ Steep slopes requiring smart split-level designs
✔ Stormwater and drainage planning to protect your home
✔ Tight access for machinery and driveways managed carefully
✔ Complex foundations including suspended slabs, piers, and retaining walls
✔ Maximising privacy and views through thoughtful positioning

What Our Balwyn North Clients Say About Us
After an exhaustive search we chose to design and build our home with Rycon Building Group because of the great feeling we had during our first meeting with Ryan. From our first meeting to handover, the whole experience has been nothing short of brilliant. Their professionalism, responsiveness and workmanship is first class. Rycon made sure that our expectations were met and even surpassed.
All of the trades that Rycon employ are very professional, friendly and great at their craft. The site was always kept clean and they were always approachable with any questions that we had.
Building is naturally a stressful process, but Rycon made it as stress free as possible. If we were to build again we would definitely use Rycon Building Group without hesitation.

My wife and I built our first home with Rycon in 2021 and we could not be more pleased with their service. Professional, responsive and first class workmanship. Thank you Rycon.

Rycon completed our home mid 2020. Right from the initial consultation through to handover the process was smooth and stress free. The team were always friendly, professional and well organised. Any changes or hiccups along the way never seemed to be a problem, Rycon just made it happen. Their attention to detail and level of quality is fantastic.
I would definitely build with them again.

We have been in our new house for 2 years and it continues to deliver all aspects of family living and what a home should be.
