Custom Home Builder in Drouin You Can Trust
Building in Drouin
Drouin is one of regional Victoria’s fastest-growing towns, in the Baw Baw Shire and the rolling hills of West Gippsland. New estates are spreading out from the town centre, while lifestyle blocks and farmland ring the edges, so no two projects are the same.
We are already a familiar name here, with several completed projects in Drouin, and we build, renovate and handle the site works that hilly Gippsland blocks often need. A director runs your project from design to handover, even out in Gippsland.
Why Drouin homeowners choose RAW
When a builder has already worked in your town more than once, you can see how they operate before you commit. RAW has completed several projects in Drouin, and Rod or Will runs every one in person, so you are never left chasing a site manager. We keep our numbers low so quality and communication hold, whether the site is in town or out on the land.
“We would highly recommend RAW Building Group to anyone.”

What it costs to build or renovate in Drouin
Costs depend on the home and the block. As a guide, our custom homes start from around $600,000, and renovations and extensions from around $350,000. Sloping or rural blocks that need site works can add to the figure, so we price each project after design. New builds usually take 12 to 18 months and renovations 8 to 16 months, from design to handover, with a fixed budget and timeline set before we start.
