Derbyshire Homes emerged from the vision of a determined young builder, Noel Derbyshire, who, seeing the industry fill up with companies that cloned houses – variants of a single model rolling out as if mass-produced cookies from a giant cutter – yearned to challenge the status quo and reshape the norm. His driving idea to break away from the volume building model prevalent in the 1980s motivates the Derbyshire team to this day.
Noel believed that building a home should be an exciting and personal journey, a sentiment that rings true for Derbyshire Homes, and the finished product, a symbol of pride. This belief breathed life into the entity that is Derbyshire today, a team that consists of experienced professionals – from estimators and construction managers to supervisors and design consultants.
Derbyshire Homes has been building beautiful custom designed homes in Geelong for over 25 years, an experience that saw them win the prestigious 2021 HIA Western Victoria Home of the Year Award. This award is a testament to their commitment to delivering outstanding craftsmanship and building homes that not only align with but exceed client expectations.
Communication lies at the heart of Derbyshire's operations. They place an intrinsic emphasis on fostering great communication amongst the client, architect, and builder from the initial design phase to the final handover.
The selection process at Derbyshire is rigid. To maintain the high standard of workmanship, the team only hires the best builders and tradesmen available in Geelong. This attention to detail has resulted in the construction of distinguished homes that leave their clients delighted.
Derbyshire continues to build homes using the highest quality materials available in the market. They take into consideration factors like the landscape and environment, integrating these into their construction plans and designs, ensuring the homes are environmentally friendly and sustainable. They understand that a home is as much about its aesthetic allure as it is about its comfort, and thus strive for a blend of both in every project they take on.
Derbyshire's commitment to quality, communication, pride, and integrity has seen them grow from a small team to a renowned name in homebuilding not just for homes that range from $300k but also ones worth upwards of $3m. This growth story mirrors their dedication to making dream homes a reality for their clients, to delivering the very best of the best in unique custom homes. Derbyshire Homes is not just building homes; it is building dreams.
