House Designer for the Sunshine Coast
To us, designing a house means taking care of every detail, from the floor plan to the finishes. Even more importantly, we provide a transparent process with flexibility at each stage so you receive a home that suits your way of living. Our talented consultants and drafting team are here to help you every step of the way.
We service the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane areas. With over 10 years of industry experience and a range of highly-rated custom home designs, we know how to build valuable homes for families and have worked with some of the coast’s best tradespeople.
As a family-owned business, we bring a personal touch not found with larger developers. We are proud of our work and committed to providing a smooth experience for all our clients. Emerald Developments is led by owners Matt and Lia, who bring a passion for building and providing exceptional care.
From the moment you walk through our door until the day you receive the keys to your new custom home, our team will be there to ensure satisfaction every step of the way.
We understand that building a home is a huge investment — and you should be able to know that you’ll enjoy it as much as you hoped. That’s why we guide our clients through the entire process to ensure they receive outstanding value, service and quality.
We look forward to assisting you with your next project!

Create A Home That Suits Your Lifestyle
Many people think that a bespoke house is out of their price range. Emerald Developments has a different approach with affordability in mind so that our custom homes may be priced more reasonably than project houses that are one-size-fits-all.
Our house designs focus on open plan living with an emphasis on outdoor entertaining areas that take advantage of the Queensland lifestyle. We know that everyone’s needs are different so we offer a range of floor plans to suit every block size and budget.
We have a solid local network of trades that we’ve built over the last ten years in the construction sector. This allows us to combine clever, high-quality design with affordable construction services. We only use experienced trades that we trust, so you can be certain that your home will keep you safe and comfortable.
We recognise that you want to feel engaged and confident throughout the process, especially given such a high investment. Knowing what’s going on with your project and working with people you can trust makes all the difference.

Transparent Quotes and Fast Contract Turnaround
One of the most common reasons for building relationships to sour is because of incorrect and abstract quotes. Emerald Developments gives an upfront and honest pricing guide so your budget isn’t eaten up by “extra expenses.”
Our aim is to educate our clients on industry expectations and ensure your budget is protected. At Emerald, we have more inclusions of better quality than other building companies. Learn more about preliminary agreements here.
No one wants to wait months for a building contract to be organised and approved. We make it a priority to find out what needs to be done and get building contracts back in a week. There’s no doubt that any time saved while waiting for your home to be built will be appreciated, especially if you’re paying for accommodation.


Personal Service From A Builder That Cares
With Emerald Developments, our small team means communication is faster and easier. You’ll also get to communicate with similar people throughout your process and build a trusted relationship. Throughout the process, our owners will be in reach for any questions or concerns.
We believe the client should come first. You’re making a huge investment and deserve proper communication at all times.
Built on the foundational values of real people, trust, customer experience, dependability and quality, we’ve earned a reputation as good builders with quality homes and even better people.
We’re committed to customer service that’s personal and take the hassle out of designing and building a house.
