Our process

Building a luxury two-storey home in Perth requires a structured, professionally led approach. As experienced two-storey home builders in Perth, we’ve refined our process over six decades. It’s designed to provide clarity at every stage and ensure every detail is carefully considered and reflects your unique vision.

Phase 1: Initial design consultation

Kick off your journey with Stannard Homes, your trusted luxury two storey home builders in Perth. Meet with us for a relaxed consultation, where we explore your dream home vision and showcase innovative designs in one of our display homes. Together, we’ll discuss your lifestyle needs, the potential of your land, and any building considerations.

Phase 2: Budget planning

Transparency is key. We provide a comprehensive preliminary budget that accounts for site works, potential demolition, and all anticipated costs, ensuring alignment between your vision and investment from the outset. Our two-storey home projects typically involve a substantial investment, and early budget clarity allows us to design responsibly and avoid compromise later in the process.

Phase 3: Tailoring your home design

Our experienced team develops detailed floor plans and 3D renders that capture the spatial flow and character of your home. Every refinement is made with your input until the design reflects your lifestyle and is ready for council submission.

Phase 4: Finalising plans & contract

With the design complete, we prepare a comprehensive quote, submit planning applications, and finalise all contractual documentation. You’ll be fully informed about every element, from construction plans to legal and quality assurances, ensuring you’re confident and ready to move forward. Every detail is covered, giving you peace of mind as we take the next step towards building your dream two-storey home.

Phase 5: Interior design & selections

Guided by our interior design team, you select the finishes, materials, and colour palettes that bring your home to life. This is where craftsmanship meets personal expression.

Phase 6: Construction

Our experienced supervisors and trusted tradespeople manage every stage of construction with precision. Your dedicated client liaison keeps you informed throughout, ensuring the build progresses smoothly and to the highest standard. From start to finish, we focus on delivering top-quality results and upholding the highest craftsmanship standards, ensuring every detail of your dream home is built to perfection.

Phase 7: Handover & maintenance

It’s time to celebrate! Following a detailed final inspection, we hand over the keys to your completed two-storey home build. A six-month maintenance period ensures any settling is addressed, leaving your home in perfect condition.

What our clients say

We are building with Stannard Homes (SH) and have had a fantastic experience! We started our SH journey with Dean and Annette, our Design Consultants. We could not speak highly enough of them. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience which has been invaluable in creating our custom design home.

Review By
Stephanie Browton

After 12 months of going through the ringer with a large project builder and encountering multiple issues throughout the planning process, we had enough and decided to switch to Stannard Homes. The contrast could not have been any greater, as we enjoyed a smooth and positive experience throughout the planning and build. The quality of finishes and workmanship was of a very high standard.

FAQs

How do I know if my block is suitable for a two-storey home?

Block suitability depends on several factors, including dimensions, orientation, slope, and local planning codes. Our team assesses each site individually during your initial consultation, identifying opportunities and any constraints that may influence the design. We work closely with local councils to ensure your two-storey home meets all R-Code requirements.

What makes Stannard Homes different from other two-storey home builders in Perth?

As a family-owned builder with over 60 years of experience, we take a design-led, client-focused approach, working closely with you from initial concept through to handover. Our reputation is built on quality, transparent communication, and homes that are crafted to endure. Learn more about our story.

What are the limits to customisation when building a two-storey home?

Customisation is at the heart of what we do. From floor plans to facades, materials to interior finishes, nearly every element can be tailored to your requirements. Practical limits may arise from council regulations, structural engineering, or site conditions, but our team navigates these constraints to deliver a home that is uniquely yours.

Does Stannard Homes offer knockdown and rebuild services for two-storey homes in Perth?

Yes. Knockdown and rebuild is an excellent option for families who love their location but need a home that better suits their needs over time. We manage the entire process, from demolition through to your new two-storey home, ensuring a seamless transition.

How long does it take to build a two-storey home in Perth?

Build timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the design, site conditions, and council approval processes. As a guide, most two-storey homes take between 12 and 18 months from contract signing to handover. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase so you know what to expect.

What is the cost of building a two-storey home in Perth?

The cost of a two-storey home build depends on design complexity, site conditions, materials, and the level of finish. As every home is fully custom, costs vary significantly between projects. As a guide, our two-storey homes typically start from $1.4 million. This level of investment reflects the planning, construction quality, and long-term performance our clients expect. We recommend avoiding square-metre comparisons, as these rarely capture the true cost of a high-quality, custom two-storey build.

Can I visit a Stannard Homes two-storey display home in Perth?

Yes. Our two-storey display homes in Perth, the Hamelin and the Aria, are open for viewing north and south of the river. Visit our display homes page for locations and opening hours. Walking through a completed home is the best way to experience the craftsmanship, spatial flow, and attention to detail that define our builds.

Do you build on narrow or sloping blocks?

Yes. Our design team has extensive experience working with constrained or complex blocks, including narrow lots, slopes, and irregularly shaped land. Two-storey home builds are often the most effective solution for maximising space and capturing views on constrained sites.
