Sydney home designs
Why build in Sydney?
Sydney is a great location to raise a family, with an array of parks, educational institutions, activities such as Luna Park and Taronga Zoo. Pairing these fantastic city features with one of our award winning home designs will only enhance your living experience in the state’s capital.
However, there’s no doubt about it — when searching for new home builders, Sydney is widespread, covering more than 12,000 square kilometres. Choosing a trusted home builder and a suburb to live in can be tricky, and more often than not, your block may be smaller or narrower than you had hoped.
Where we build
As one of the leading house builders in Sydney, we offer our services throughout the local area, stretching from the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury to the Northern Beaches! We serve:
Blue Mountains (to Springwood/Winmalee)
Hawkesbury (to Kurrajong)
Lower North Shore (to North Sydney and Chatswood)
Northern Beaches (to Newport)
Explore our home and land packages, knockdown rebuild service, award-winning home designs, and more online! Then, book a free design consultation with our design team to discover the possibilities for your forever home.
Your HIA award-winning builder in Sydney
Montgomery Homes has been building beautiful homes for more than 30 years, and in this time, we have experienced unequalled success at the prestigious Housing Industry Association (HIA) Awards.
From being awarded Australian Medium Professional Builder of the Year at the 2016 National HIA Awards to our Ridgeview 321 at HomeWorld Warnervale being crowned one of the 2024 Hunter Region Display Homes of the Year, our home designs and display homes have won the hearts of home buyers in New South Wales.
What sets us apart from other builders is our award-winning ability to work with almost any block, including level, sloping, acreage, narrow, or uniquely shaped.
We understand that every block is different, and the home building journey needs to be seamless to deliver a stress-free experience for our clients — and a beautiful, functional new home to match. With this in mind, our new home builders approach every block to follow the land's natural slope for optimised drainage, better views and improved airflow.
Contact our experienced team to start the planning process today. Your brand-new house starts with a free site inspection.

With this in mind, we've developed close relationships with all our suppliers to ensure your new home comes with the highest-quality fittings, fixtures and finishes on the market. From contemporary tiling to sleek kitchen cabinetry and more, we’ve included all the quality products to amplify your living space and ensure practicality and convenience.

Built with long-term protection in mind

With Montgomery Homes, termite-resistant T2 Blue seasoned pine timber wall frames and roof trusses are standard inclusions and come with a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee against termite damage.
That added protection gives you extra peace of mind, especially when building for the long term. It’s one more example of how Montgomery Homes focuses on durability, practical value, and quality inclusions that support everyday living.

Financing your new home build in Sydney
Building a new home is a big milestone, and getting the finance side sorted early can make the whole experience feel more straightforward. For anyone comparing home builders in Sydney, it helps to have support that goes beyond design and construction.
Montgomery Homes partners with Mankin Finance for clients building in Sydney, Wollongong and the Illawarra. Their team can help guide you through the finance process, whether you are a first-home buyer, upgrading to a larger home, or planning an investment build.
For many clients, speaking with a construction loan expert early can help clarify borrowing capacity, repayment terms, and the steps needed before construction begins. It can also give you more confidence as you move from choosing a design to planning approvals and final selections.
If you’re exploring builders in Sydney and want a clearer path forward, finance advice can be a smart first step!
The whole building process with Montgomery Homes: your journey, step-by-step
-
If you already own land in Sydney or you are planning a knockdown rebuild, you are already one step ahead. If not, our team can help you explore suitable land opportunities or house and land packages, then match them with a design that suits your lifestyle, budget and block. We also recommend visiting one of our Sydney display homes so you can experience the floor plans, inclusions and design features in person before making your decision.
-
Once you’ve chosen your new home design, we’ll provide a free site inspection to ensure your block of land is accessible and is suitable for construction and your desired home design. This will also ensure you’re aware of any site-specific costs upfront.
-
Your tender presentation appointment is our opportunity to showcase your selected home design and walk you through a detailed list of inclusions and current promotions that comprise your tender and quote. At this appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and tour our Selections Gallery. Following your tender presentation, we’ll invite you to place your commencement fee so we can progress to the pre-construction phase and send your home design to our talented drafting team to begin drawing your plans.
-
After your commencement fee is received, we start the pre-construction stage and organise the contour survey and site classification investigation. These reports help us understand levels, boundaries, easements, soil conditions and other factors that may affect the build. For Sydney sites, especially sloping, narrow, or more complex blocks, this step helps ensure your home is properly positioned and designed to suit the land.
-
Once the survey information is back, our drafting team updates your plans and tender to reflect your site and any final changes. This is where we refine the layout and positioning of your home to make the most of natural light, breezes, drainage and views wherever possible. It’s also a good time to prepare your proof of funds and keep the next steps moving smoothly.
-
Once your lodgement plans are accepted, our Contracts Administrator prepares your HIA contract for signing. At this stage, your 5% deposit is due, and we will guide you through the paperwork so you know exactly what comes next.
-
This is one of the most exciting parts of the journey. You will meet with our interior design, kitchen, electrical and flooring consultants to select colours, fixtures, fittings and finishes for your new home. Montgomery Homes’ Selections Gallery gives Sydney clients more flexibility to personalise their build in one convenient place. You can explore inclusions and upgrades, compare finishes, and choose details that suit your style and budget with guidance from our team.
-
This is where Montgomery Homes helps remove one of the biggest pain points in the building process: council approvals. We coordinate the plans and send them to the relevant regulatory bodies, including BASIX and other required authorities, then arrange lodgement for either DA approval through council or CDC approval through a private certifier, depending on the project. For Sydney homeowners, this support can make a real difference. Instead of navigating approvals on your own, you have an experienced team managing the process and keeping things moving. *If you’re planning a knockdown rebuild, this is the time to organise demolition. Get in touch and ask for a copy of our Demolition Fact Sheet.
-
Before construction starts, we provide your final construction documents, updated plans, tender details and selections information. Proof of funds is also required at this stage, and site preparation needs to be completed. If you need support on the finance side, Montgomery Homes also partners with trusted advisers for Sydney clients, helping connect you with extensive knowledge and guidance around construction loans, borrowing capacity and the approval process.
-
With approvals and documents in place, site works begin. This includes excavation, cut-and-fill (if needed), foundation preparation, service connections, slab preparation, and termite protection measures. This is another area where a well-managed process matters. Our team coordinates the early construction stages so your site is properly prepared before the build moves forward.
-
Once the slab is down and the site is ready, construction gets underway, and your new home starts to take shape. Frames are erected, and the vision you have been planning begins to become real. From here, Montgomery Homes continues to guide you through the next stages with a focus on communication, quality and a smoother building experience.

FAQs
