At Bayside Builders WA, we specialise in creating exceptional custom luxury homes that go beyond mere construction. With over 20 years of experience across Southwest WA, we understand that your home is more than a building—it's the foundation of your family's future.
From the stunning coastlines of Dunsborough and Yallingup to the renowned wine regions of Margaret River, we've built luxury residences that capture the essence of Southwest living while delivering the sophistication and quality our discerning clients expect.
Our boutique approach means you work directly with Frank, eliminating the confusion and delays common with larger builders. Every decision, every detail, and every milestone is handled by the person ultimately responsible for your project's success.
Building a custom luxury home in Southwest Western Australia requires specialised knowledge of coastal construction, Mediterranean climate design, and local building regulations. Every property in the Margaret River region requires a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment, and we navigate these requirements seamlessly while maintaining your architectural vision. Our expertise in salt-air resistant materials, wind-rated construction, and passive solar design ensures your home performs beautifully year-round.
Unlike volume builders working from catalogues, we create truly bespoke residences tailored to your lifestyle, your site, and the unique coastal environment. Whether you're building your forever home in Dunsborough, a vineyard estate in Margaret River, or an exclusive coastal retreat in Yallingup, every detail is customised to exceed your expectations while maximising your investment value.
Choosing a custom build over a spec home is an investment in your future. While spec homes offer convenience, they're designed to appeal to the broadest market—not your specific needs. Custom luxury homes in Southwest WA consistently outperform spec homes in both livability and resale value.
Custom homes appreciate faster than spec homes, with buyers willing to pay premium prices for quality craftsmanship, superior materials, and thoughtful design. Your home becomes a unique asset, not a commodity.
Design every space around how you actually live. Need a home office with ocean views? A gourmet kitchen for entertaining? A wellness sanctuary? Your custom home adapts to you—you don't adapt to it.
Optimize your home for Southwest WA's Climate Zone 5 with passive solar design, strategic insulation, and high-performance glazing. Lower utility bills and higher comfort, year-round. Many of our custom builds achieve 8-9 star energy ratings.
Select every material, fixture, and finish. No builder-grade compromises, no "standard inclusions" that disappoint. Your direct involvement ensures the quality you expect in a luxury home.
From initial consultation to final handover, we ensure every step of your luxury home build is managed with precision and care.
We begin with understanding your vision, lifestyle needs, budget parameters, and site-specific considerations. During this phase, we'll conduct a comprehensive site assessment including BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) evaluation, soil testing, and coastal exposure analysis. If you're working with an architect, we collaborate seamlessly. If not, we can connect you with trusted design professionals who understand Southwest WA's unique requirements. This phase culminates in a detailed proposal and preliminary timeline.
From architectural drawings to engineering specifications, we manage all technical documentation and approval processes. This includes lodging applications with Shire of Augusta-Margaret River or City of Busselton councils, coordinating bushfire management plans (if required), securing building permits, and finalizing all selections for materials, fixtures, and finishes. You'll receive regular updates throughout the 25-business-day council assessment period, and we'll handle any queries or modifications needed for approval.
Quality construction using premium materials specifically selected for coastal environments—marine-grade fixtures, salt-air resistant cladding, and high-performance glazing. Our skilled craftsmen work to exacting standards while you receive weekly progress updates, photos, and opportunities to visit the site. We implement strict quality checkpoints at each construction phase, from foundation and frame-up to lock-up and final fit-out. Transparent communication means you're never left wondering about progress or budget.
Thorough final inspections ensure every detail meets our quality standards and your expectations. We conduct a comprehensive walkthrough, explaining all systems, warranties, and maintenance requirements. You'll receive detailed handover documentation including as-built plans, appliance manuals, warranty certificates, and our ongoing support commitment. Plus, mandatory home warranty insurance provides up to $300,000 protection with 6-year structural coverage and 2-year non-structural coverage, giving you complete peace of mind.

Building luxury homes in Southwest Western Australia requires specialised expertise in regional requirements, climate-responsive design, and coastal construction techniques. Here's what sets our approach apart:
The Shire of Augusta-Margaret River is designated bushfire-prone, meaning all new habitable buildings require a BAL assessment under Australian Standard AS3959. Your property's BAL rating (from BAL-Low through BAL-40 or Flame Zone) determines specific construction requirements:
We navigate these requirements seamlessly, ensuring compliance without compromising your architectural vision or budget.
Southwest WA's Mediterranean climate—warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters—offers unique opportunities for energy-efficient design. Our homes incorporate:
These strategies achieve 8-9 star energy ratings with minimal mechanical heating or cooling, reducing your ongoing costs while maximising year-round comfort.
Proximity to the Indian Ocean presents specific challenges we've mastered over 20+ years:
Every material in your custom home is selected for durability, aesthetics, and performance in Southwest WA's coastal environment. We partner with premium Australian suppliers and international brands to source materials that deliver lasting value.
James Hardie fiber cement cladding, marine-grade stainless steel fixtures, powder-coated aluminum joinery, and premium composite decking resist salt air corrosion and maintain their beauty for decades.
Double-glazed low-E windows, high-R-value insulation, thermal break window frames, and strategic thermal mass (stone, concrete, rammed earth) work together to minimise heating and cooling costs.
Reclaimed timber, bamboo flooring, low-VOC paints, solar-ready electrical design, rainwater harvesting systems, and locally sourced stone reduce environmental impact while enhancing value.
Beyond materials, our relationships with skilled local tradespeople— many of whom we've worked with for over a decade—ensure craftsmanship that matches the quality of the products we specify. Every joint, every finish, every detail receives the attention it deserves.
