Greenway Street, Grange

Mamet Homes took the challenges presented by this project in stride to build an award-winning forever home that preserved elements from the family’s original cottage. The architects recommended Mamet Homes, as we were the only builders who were comfortable with both sloping block building and sustainable building practices.

Park Road, Kalinga

The Harding family chose to work with Mamet Homes because they felt confident in the precision of our all-inclusive, fixed-price contract, and appreciated the fact that we honoured their budget in our pricing.

Moola Road, Ashgrove

The family chose to work with Mamet Homes for this project (their fourth project with us!) because they knew they’d get value for money and could rely on seeing the results they’d been promised.

Mount Joy Terrace – Wynnum

The family chose to work with Mamet Homes for this project after carefully considering a number of builders in the area. The Mamet Process ensuring clear and concise communication and transparency, was the deciding factor and proved to be a good choice, as this project threw up a few curve balls!

Graceville – Lift

Part of the Queensland Governments Flood Resilience Scheme, This home started as a simple lift to meet the Queensland governments Flood Resilient Scheme requirements. However, the way Mamet Homes managed their projects transparently, put this client at ease. So much so, that we ended with a full house renovation including new kitchen, 2 bathrooms laundry, minor extension works and full house paint.

Bardon – Extension Renovation

Bardon was a beautiful extension and renovation that was one of the first projects to follow our 5 Step Preliminary Process. The result of which, the home was delivered 8 weeks early and within $900 of the original contract price. This meant the client could use their contingency money on a new swimming pool and out door area instead of dreaded variations! Beautiful open plan extension for a beautiful couple and their growing family.
