RECENT PROJECTS
BY US
We are extremely proud of the work we do to bring our client’s visions to life. We hope you enjoy seeing what’s possible with Mountain Built as much as our clients love living in a Mountain Built home.
Mornington Custom Built New Home.
This project was designed by ‘Quinn Wyatt Building Designers’ to incorporate the existing brick veneer structure and leap it into a modern architecturally designed home in Mornington.
Incorporating the large counter-levered steel into the existing brick veneer structure was a great feat for this project. The entranceway was also redesigned to make it functional and encourage visitors to enter via the new pool and spa area.
The angled walls of the first floor, along with the large double-glazed window, enhanced the design to create a magnificent view over the local Mills beach in Mornington and surrounding Bays.
FROM OUR CLIENTS
"Our build had many challenging custom design features and Mountain Built seamlessly rose to and almost savored these challenges.
The whole experience of building was positive, and even though we had tough decisions along the journey, they were handled in a competent, consultative and organised manner.
Their attention to detail, skill in their craft and care for the project is so evident in the build quality and final product.”

Rye Hamptons Rebuild
The design of this Rye house was carefully discussed between the design team, ‘Jenn Designs’, before concept plans were done. With a clear direction set from the outset, being ‘functional, practical, Hampton inspired, easy living’, it helped the team and owners through every decision in the build process.
The original home was a classic 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom and living area, cedar weatherboard beach shack. With good structural bones, we decided instead of knocking over and starting from scratch, we were able to compartmentalize the works and extend the footprint at the front, back, and sides of the house. This was all done at the beginning of the build, a deliberate decision enabling the owners to live in the house whilst works began. We then gutted the existing house, connected the extensions up and built a new roof over the top.
The end result was a functional Coastal Hampton-style family home that felt light and fresh, thanks to the free-flowing floorplan.
FROM OUR CLIENTS
"Adams construction knowledge was integral to us controlling the budget and by not knocking down, we would have saved thousands. We found them very client focused throughout our build, something not so easy to find these days. Thankfully they completed the extension parts first, so we were able to live in the existing house, whilst the new areas were built. This foresight not only saved us money, but the headache of needing to move out and rent straight away.
When it came to decisions, Adam and the team were so helpful and practical. They helped guide our product selections, to ensure we could stay on our tight budget and suit our young family. The end result is a very comfortable coastal home that is so easy to live in. We highly recommend Adam and his team to anyone wanting a quality builder for a fair price! ”

Blairgowrie Tranquil Home Renovation
This home renovation project in Blairgowrie featured a new well-considered zoned layout of the home, allowing for a multitude of indoor and outdoor entertaining and relaxation spaces. We worked with the client to curate the hot springs-inspired outdoor design and a new internal layout plan.
Features included, a new master suite zone, including walk-in robe and ensuite, a new separate office space, two updated living areas, and an expansive north-facing outdoor entertaining space, along with a unique therapeutic cedar hot tub, set amongst landscaped gardens.
The project showcased our custom timber carpentry work, balanced with bespoke concrete benchtops and other natural material finishes. What we are most proud of with this renovation project was our ability to work together to stage it over time to minimise disruption to family life and bring our client’s vision of the perfect blend of luxurious yet laid-back coastal living to life.
FROM OUR CLIENTS
"I cannot recommend Mountain Built enough! Their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail have transformed my properties through various projects, from major renovations to intricate architectural landscaping works. Their reliability, professionalism, and friendly demeanor make every interaction a pleasure.
I’ve referred Adam and his team to numerous clients in the real estate industry, and without fail, they always express gratitude for the referral, impressed by the quality of workmanship and professionalism displayed by Mountain Built. They are truly a ‘top-notch’ builder.”

Modern Blairgowrie Renovation
The Journey started with the clients engaging Mountain Built to strategize the most cost-effective layout using the parameters of the existing dwelling well before engaging the design team. This helped avoid costly design concepts and time lost. We then got to work, bringing the existing, tired Blairgowrie home into modern-day life.
Initial structural work was needed to future-proof the 1960s foundations, significantly increase the footprint, and update internal wall configurations to align the house with modern living.
A dynamic multi-level dwelling maximising northern sun and natural light complemented by a fresh and neutral palette. Two new separate outdoor living areas were created linking the backyard to entertaining areas as well as an updated façade to bring the project together.
FROM OUR CLIENTS
"Mountain Built were a a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We engaged Adam quite early on, as our initial vision for the renovation saw the floor plan completely flipped. He was able to clearly outline the complexities that were involved in proceeding in that direction and proposed an alternative solution that would deliver a better outcome, with much less plan and cost. Advice we are still grateful for today.
The process of building was relatively new to us, and Adam’s approach is such, that each phase was clearly communicated and explained, so we knew exactly what to expect. Likewise any mid build obstacles were tackled with pragmatism and solution focused, which was very reassuring to us.
Most notable were Adam’s communication skills, reliability and attention to detail. If he said he was going to be there, or something was to be done, it was. We are so thrilled with the final product and love living in this home. We highly recommend Adam’s services, and hope to use him again in any future builds.”

St Andrews Beach Deck and Pool
The recently built St. Andrews Beach home was perfectly set upon the dunes, amongst the treetops, ready for its final masterpiece, an outdoor entertaining space. We were engaged early in the process to assist with design advise which ensured costly excavation was minimized and the right materials were carefully selected for the coastal environment.
The vision was centered on a family-friendly swimming pool and backyard with an outdoor kitchen and seating areas. This project had its own set of challenges, building on top of a sand dune, with deep excavations and an unstable sand structure surrounding the pool. We needed to ensure the new house was protected. We kept the owners fully informed throughout the whole process.
The project included a custom-built timber daybed in one corner of the deck and a large pool barrier on the eastern side. The rest of the balustrade was finished using glass, which was sunken into the deck to eliminate any impaired views out into the backyard from the home.
FROM OUR CLIENTS
"Mountain Built was referred to us by friends and from the outset, we new we could rely on them to achieve our vision.
The team were so easy to work with. Once we got our permit, they hit the ground running and before we knew it we had the best Christmas present in our backyard, our new pool!
The team worked hard, to meet our ambitious summer deadline. They achieved a finished product, within budget that we were immensely happy with.
We have found a professional team, that we can trust and without hesitation would use for any new work in the future.”
