Our custom home building process is a comprehensive, step-by-step journey tailored to you, ensuring clarity and ease from start to finish. Here’s what to expect when you build with Flack Built -

Initial Consultation & Vision Planning:

We begin with an in-depth meeting to discuss your ideas, lifestyle needs, and budget. Flack Built takes time to understand your goals and the specifics of your Mount Eliza site (such as slope, views, and neighbourhood style).

Design & Documentation:

Next, we collaborate on the home design. Whether you have your own architect or use our recommended architects, we work together to create an architecturally designed plan that captures your vision. During this phase, we also involve our interior design partner to plan out luxurious finishes and ensure every detail reflects your taste. We’ll handle documentation and prepare plans to submit for approvals.

Transparent Quoting & Contracts:

Once the design is finalised, we provide a detailed, fixed-price quote for the project. This quote breaks down all aspects of the build so you know exactly what’s included. With an agreed budget, we sign a clear contract to give you peace of mind that there won’t be cost surprises during your new build.

Permits & Approvals:

Flack Built manages all the necessary building permits and council approvals in Mount Eliza. Our local experience with the Mornington Peninsula Shire means we efficiently navigate any regulatory requirements (heritage overlays, coastal regulations, etc.), keeping the project compliant and on schedule.

Construction & Project Management:

Now the excitement really begins as we break ground. Our skilled construction team and site manager coordinate every aspect of the build. We schedule trusted local trades and suppliers at the right times to maintain momentum. Throughout construction, we maintain open communication - you’ll receive regular updates, site meetings, and walkthroughs at key milestones. Flack Built’s meticulous supervision ensures top-notch workmanship at each stage, from the concrete pour to the final coat of paint.

Interior Fit-Out & Finishing Touches:

As the structure takes shape, we implement the high-end finishes and custom details that make your home unique. Whether it’s installing that imported stone benchtop or hand-crafted cabinetry, we ensure everything is executed to perfection. Our interior design team helps style and fit-out the home exactly as you envisioned, so the result is a cohesive, luxurious interior and exterior.

Handover & Aftercare:

Upon completion, we do a thorough final inspection with you – this is the exciting handover of your new Mount Eliza custom home. We don’t just walk away after giving you the keys; we’ll familiarize you with all aspects of your new home’s features and maintenance needs. Flack Built is proud to offer on going support so you can settle in knowing we’re here if you need anything.

This end-to-end process means building your dream home is an enjoyable journey. From concept to completion, Flack Built handles every detail with professionalism and care, making the complex task of custom building in Mount Eliza feel refreshingly straightforward for you.

Yes – in fact, overcoming challenging sites is one of our specialties. Mount Eliza’s beautiful landscape often includes hilly terrain and steep blocks, and Flack Built has the expertise to design and construct stunning homes on these sites. We work with experienced engineers and utilize smart design solutions to ensure your home is structurally sound on a slope. For example, we might incorporate split-level designs, reinforced foundations, or tiered landscaping to blend the house naturally into a hillside. This means you can enjoy panoramic views from your luxury home without worrying about stability or drainage issues. Likewise, for coastal or clifftop properties in Mount Eliza, we choose durable materials and construction methods that withstand seaside conditions (such as salt air and strong winds). Our team’s local knowledge of Mount Eliza’s geology and climate allows us to preempt challenges and build homes that not only look spectacular on difficult sites but also stand the test of time. No matter how complex your block, Flack Built will find an innovative way to bring your dream home to life.

The timeline for a new custom home build in Mount Eliza can vary depending on the project, but generally you can expect around 12 to 18 months from breaking ground to moving in for an average high-end home. Larger or more complex homes (for instance, a sprawling multi-level mansion with bespoke features) could extend closer to two years, whereas a moderately sized luxury home might be completed in around a year. Several factors influence the build time, including:

Design Complexity & Size:

A more elaborate design or a very large home requires more construction time (e.g. custom architectural elements or extensive interior detailing will add to the schedule).

Site Conditions:

Building on a sloping block or a site with difficult access can take extra time due to the engineering work and logistics involved.

Council Approvals & Permits:

While Flack Built expedites the permit process, the timeframe for council approvals or any needed planning permits can affect the overall schedule. We account for this in our planning.

Weather and Unforeseen Events:

Mount Eliza’s weather is generally mild, but heavy rain in winter months can occasionally slow certain outdoor works. We build in buffer time to accommodate weather without compromising quality.

Client Design Changes:

We encourage all major design decisions to be finalized before construction. However, if you request changes mid-build, it can extend the timeline slightly to incorporate the new work (we will advise on the impact beforehand).

Flack Built’s project management is very schedule-driven – we create a detailed construction timeline and we coordinate trades meticulously to keep the project on track. Throughout the build, we keep you informed of progress. Our goal is to deliver your luxury home on time without rushing any step, so you get impeccable quality by the planned completion date. We find that with our careful planning and expertise, clients can count on a smooth process and a move-in date that matches what was promised at contract stage.

At Flack Built, your vision guides everything we do. We believe a truly custom home should reflect your individual style, needs, and personality – especially for a bespoke luxury residence. From the very first design consultation, we ask detailed questions about your lifestyle, preferences, and must-haves. Do you love to entertain with an indoor-outdoor flow? Do you need a home office, a wine cellar, or space for a growing family? We take all these personal desires into account and ensure they are woven into the design plan. Our design process is highly collaborative: we’ll review sketches and concepts with you, adjust layouts to better suit your routines, and choose architectural features that match your aesthetic taste (whether that’s ultra-modern, Hamptons coastal, or timeless contemporary).

Not only do we customize the layout and architecture, but we also help tailor the interior design and finishes to your liking. Through our in-house interior design service (in partnership with Webster Interiors), you’ll have professional guidance in selecting color schemes, fixtures, materials, and cabinetry that truly resonate with your style. This service is a concierge-level experience – you can be as involved as you want in selecting details like luxury stone benchtops, hardwood flooring, lighting designs, and more. The result is that every room in your new Mount Eliza home feels authentically “you.” Throughout the build, if you have new ideas or preferences, we remain flexible and attentive. In short, Flack Built ensures that your custom home is one-of-a-kind and tailored 100% to your lifestyle and tastes, so you walk into a finished home that is everything you imagined and more.

Yes. Building sustainable, future-proof homes is a priority for Flack Built, especially in a community like Mount Eliza where homeowners value long-term quality and efficiency. We incorporate the latest energy-efficient technologies and design principles into our projects as standard practice (or according to your wishes). This can include passive solar design – positioning and designing the house to maximize natural light and stable indoor temperatures – as well as high-performance insulation, double-glazed windows, and efficient climate control systems to reduce energy usage. We can seamlessly integrate eco-friendly features such as solar panels, battery storage, rainwater harvesting tanks, and geothermal heating/cooling systems into your luxury home without compromising on aesthetics. Many of our high-end builds also feature smart home automation, allowing you to control lighting, heating, and security with energy efficiency in mind.

Beyond just energy savings, we choose durable, sustainable materials that will last for generations, ensuring your home remains solid and efficient down the line. If you have specific green building goals (for example, targeting a certain energy rating or using recycled materials), our team will gladly accommodate those into the design and construction plan. A Flack Built home in Mount Eliza is not only beautiful and luxurious, but also responsibly built for the future – meaning lower running costs, a smaller environmental footprint, and a comfortable living environment year-round.

Beginning your dream home journey with Flack Built is simple and exciting. To kick things off, just contact us to schedule an initial consultation – you can reach out via our website or give us a call. We’ll arrange a friendly meeting (at our Mornington Peninsula office or even on your Mount Eliza site) to discuss your ideas, requirements, and the vision you have in mind. There’s no obligation at this early stage – it’s an opportunity for us to get to know your project and for you to learn more about our approach and capabilities.

During this first conversation, we’ll talk about your desired home style, any sketches or inspiration you have, your timeline, and budget considerations. We can also show you some of our previous high-end projects for reference and inspiration. If you’re ready to proceed after that, Flack Built will guide you through the next steps: this may include assisting with finding an architect or designer if you need one, conducting a feasibility study or site assessment for your Mount Eliza property, and then moving into the formal design phase as part of our process. We will outline a clear roadmap so you know exactly how we’ll go from initial concept to breaking ground.

Our goal is to make the entire process as smooth as possible for you. Building a custom luxury home is a big undertaking, but with Flack Built by your side from the very start, you’ll feel confident and informed at each step.

Mount Eliza is one of the most sought-after postcodes on the Mornington Peninsula for a reason. With its elevated blocks, sweeping bay views, and leafy streets, it's the ideal setting for a high-end custom home. The area offers a rare balance of coastal living, prestige schools like Toorak College and Peninsula Grammar, and proximity to Melbourne — making it a premium lifestyle destination for families and professionals.

Most custom builds in Mount Eliza require a building permit, and depending on the property, you may also need planning approval from the Mornington Peninsula Shire — particularly if you're in a heritage overlay, bushfire-prone area, or coastal zone. Flack Built handles the full approvals process on your behalf, working closely with council and consultants to ensure your home is fully compliant before construction begins. Our knowledge of local regulations means fewer delays and a smoother path to site start. Get in touch
