FAQ
What makes Faracon different from other custom home builders in Melbourne?
Faracon combines over 20 years of civil engineering expertise with a boutique design-and-build approach. We take on complex projects, including sloping blocks and knockdown rebuilds, that many builders won’t, ensuring your home is tailored to your lifestyle and built to last.
Do you only build luxury homes, or can you take on smaller projects too?
While we specialise in bespoke luxury homes, we also deliver extensions, renovations, commercial fit-outs, and community projects. Every project, big or small, receives the same meticulous attention to detail.
Can you help with challenging sites like sloping blocks?
Yes. We are experts in building on sloping and difficult sites. Our engineering background allows us to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions where other builders may struggle.
What is the process of building a custom home with Faracon?
Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision. From there, we provide design, planning, 3D floor plan visualisation, construction, and final handover. You’ll have one point of contact throughout, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey.
Do you provide 3D visualisation of designs before construction?
Yes. We offer advanced projection technology that allows you to walk through your floor plan at a 1:1 scale before construction begins. This immersive experience helps you confidently finalise every detail of your home.
Can you assist with planning approvals and permits?
Absolutely. We manage consultant coordination, planning approvals, engineering requirements, and certification, ensuring everything is compliant with local council and regulatory standards.
What types of projects do you undertake besides residential homes?
In addition to luxury custom homes, we deliver commercial fit-outs, childcare refurbishments, council facilities, and civic upgrades. Our diverse portfolio reflects our versatility and commitment to high-quality outcomes.
Are your services fully insured and guaranteed?
Yes. Faracon is a registered building practitioner with full insurance and warranties in place. We also provide workmanship guarantees for peace of mind.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
The timeline depends on the complexity and scale of your project. On average, custom homes can take 10–18 months from design to completion. We provide clear timelines upfront and regular updates throughout the build.
Do you offer a free consultation for new clients?
Yes. We encourage prospective clients to book an initial consultation with our team. This is an opportunity to discuss your ideas, explore design options, and learn how Faracon can bring your vision to life.
