Averna Homes Project 3

As one of Western Australia’s most experienced builders, Averna Homes is often asked to help clients realise their dream home. One of the challenges most budding homeowners are faced with is the desire to build in a certain area, but not being able to find an empty block of land.

In some cases, the only option is to buy an older home, demolish it, and build on the vacant land. Doing this, however, may be difficult if there is a strict budget to adhere to. There are myriad elements to consider to keep the budget in check, so it’s advisable to choose a builder who is experienced in the demolish-and-build field.

It’s also important to choose a company with an experienced in-house design team that understands the difficulties that you may encounter building on a demolished home’s land, as well as a designer who will be accountable for these elements throughout the building process.

When buying an old house with the intention of demolishing and building, design is very important, which is why homeowners need to make sure they’re working with experts.

“Most of the time, the blocks are not typically flat, square or level like new estates and this must be taken into consideration. The orientation of the home is also very important, as its position will determine the best solar and ventilation benefits,” says Jamie Sim, director at Averna Homes. Averna Homes is a company that has extensive knowledge of design and construction, and addresses all of these concerns when building on a difficult block.

Often a display home or a builder’s standard design will not fit on one of these blocks, so a custom design is necessary. Averna Homes is an expert when it comes to designing custom homes. Recently, Averna Homes completed the demolition of an old home on a 1400m² block, and has created a masterpiece on the block.

Sean Brickwood, one of Averna Homes’ talented designers, worked closely with the clients to understand their requirements. Knowledge of the site allowed the designer to create a home that best captured the surrounding views and was fit for a growing family.

Dreams begin with a blank piece of paper at Averna Homes, where creativity, craftsmanship and innovation come together to create luxury, one-of-a-kind designs. Averna Homes’ new design show home opens in South Perth in mid-2016.

While still a relatively young business, Averna Homes has already created a substantial presence within the luxury housing industry. In 2007, Averna Homes first opened its doors with the desire to design and build luxury homes a little differently to other companies in the Western Australian residential building market.

Guided by the company’s owner and managing director, Paul Serra, Averna Homes’ key to success is to emphasise innovative design, superior workmanship and excellence in customer service.

The mission at Averna Homes is to create innovative designs, provide an inspiring experience, create individual styles of living, offer value and make a difference, and finally, to deliver quality of craftsmanship. Through tireless dedication and working hard towards providing clients with the highest-quality homes, the team at Averna Homes has received a substantial number of industry awards. This acknowledgement of the company’s success by its industry peers is why Averna Homes is one of Perth’s leading boutique builders.
