Building in Garfield
Garfield is a small country township in the Cardinia Shire, on the old highway between the south-east suburbs and the farmland of West Gippsland. It sits right where the growth corridor gives way to the country, so we see two kinds of project here: renovating and extending established township homes, and building new on the lifestyle and acreage blocks that draw people out from the city.
We know the area well, with the Tynong farmhouse just nearby, and we manage the permits, engineering, site works and construction with a director on your project from design to handover.
Why Garfield homeowners choose RAW
Whether you are renovating in the township or building out on a lifestyle block, RAW brings the same director-led approach. Rod or Will runs your project in person, so you deal with the owners, not a call centre, and a country address never means second-rate service. We take on a limited number of projects so the quality and communication stay high.
With completed work nearby, including the Tynong farmhouse, and five-star reviews from clients right across Gippsland, we are a known quantity in this part of the world. You can read the reviews on our testimonials page.
What it costs to build or renovate in Garfield
Costs depend on the home and the block. As a guide, our custom homes start from around $600,000, and extensions and renovations from around $350,000. Lifestyle and acreage blocks that need site works can affect 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.
