Sloping & Challenging Sites //
With decades of experience, there's no site we can't conquer! For this project, we worked through the challenge of a sloping site, creating a beautiful family home built for lifetimes.

Been a busy few weeks with commencement of joinery installation and stair installation at Willow Vale. Looking forward to seeing it all come together, love the colour palette.
Custom Home Build
There is little evidence of the complexity of the design from the street. One of the four levels only visible from the street with two floating monoplane roofs appearing above street level.
This custom built home has an exciting entry via a recycled black butt footbridge.
Internal progression through this home is an exciting journey with lake views from each level and dramatic views back into the cut rock face.

How much do you charge per square metre?
Regularly we get asked about ‘How much we charge per square metre?’
Some builders offer standard home designs with a standard set of inclusions. Without any variations to the build or any unforeseen issues arising, they can advise you exactly how much you can pay per square metre.
The way this is calculated is using a standard square metre rate and multiplying it by the floorspace of the home (not the land). This does not take into consideration type of land, soil quality, level of finishes and non-standard selections, etc.
A price per square metre cannot be applied to a custom home build as every home you build is unique. Relying on a square meter rate is a common mistake that people make. They don’t understand that it is a guestimate only as the builder has not spent any time going through the plans, visiting the site, liaising with contractors or suppliers or even discussing the finishes with you.
Here are some factors that will affect the overall price of a new home build:
Slope of land (site access and difficulty of excavation)
Soil quality (clay, rock, etc)
Selections (windows & doors, joinery, flooring, tiling, fixtures and fittings, etc)
Conditions of land (fire rating, wind rating, flood zones and so on)
At McGowan Homes we specialise in building custom built homes.
A Custom home is a blank canvas and is:
Designed for you
Designed for your lifestyle
Built to last
An opportunity to build an environmentally friendly home
Helping you to live in an area that you love
Enables you to build a home around your budget
A square metre rate is only ever based on costing of a house if that house and build is very ‘standard’. If you make changes, have conditions on your land or have a difficult site this will affect the build cost.

Cladding is on and our gyprocker has been busy getting the gyprock on around the Victorian Ash timber feature beams and working on the coffered ceiling. The coffered ceiling is going to look amazing with the feature lighting installed.
Getting small business together...
McGowan Homes participated in the 2017 Logan Small Business Expo yesterday along with many other Logan and Gold Coast small businesses.
The expo was officially opened by Federal Shadow Minister for Small Business Katy Gallagher; State Minister for Small Business Leeanne Enoch MP and Councillor Division 3 Logan City Council, Cr Steve Swenson.
The day was huge success with approximately 125 businesses participating in the expo from the Logan and Gold Coast areas.
It was a fun filled day with guest speakers, food trucks and live music. There was approximately 650 local businesses and people from the community that visited the expo.
The expo carried a great vibe and was a great day of networking for McGowan Homes to participate in. Our Office Manager, Christine had the opportunity to meet Olympian Steven Bradbury who popped over to our stand to say hello. Logan City has not had an expo of this scale and it was welcomed by the local businesses and the community.
This event was organised by North Gold Coast Business Events. We would like to thank Paula Brand for organising this event.
