Ten years, one certifier, and some of Newcastle's most incredible homes.

- BUILDCERT BENEFITOne trusted certifier across custom builds
MADE Home’s build some of Newcastle's most beautiful homes. Custom, architectural, and rarely straightforward in approval process. For ten years Buildcert has been alongside them for all of it.
Most builders switch certifiers the moment a job gets hard and the approvals stall. MADE never have. Ten years on, we are still the team they call for every custom build.
Why the partnership works
A custom home needs a custom approach to certification. MADE’s push design, materials and sites harder than most, and that is where the right certifier proves their worth.
We know how they build and the standard they hold to. We work as a team to ensure compliance is resolved early on, keep projects moving, and ensure their team stays on program. When the slab is ready to pour, the approval is there.
Three of their recent builds
National Park Street, Merewether. A heritage home reimagined by Curious Practice. The original façade holds its place on the street, while a bold contemporary extension in Manor Red Colorbond sits behind it. Two eras on one title, and an approval that has to respect both.
Wrightson Avenue, Bar Beach. A contemporary coastal home by CKDS Architecture. Brick, timber and cladding, clean lines, and detail that has to be exact.
Memorial Drive, Bar Beach. Three storeys and six split levels on the cliff top above Susan Gilmore beach, designed by Webber. One of MADE's proudest builds, on one of the toughest sites in Newcastle.
Three architects, three sites, one certifier. That is how MADE take on work like this without the approvals becoming the hard part.

The Buildcert difference
Ten years tells you more than any testimonial could. Builders stay with a certifier that long for one reason: it gets sorted, every time, on work that is anything but standard.
That is what MADE have in Buildcert.
The homes we take on push design and sites to their limites, and that only works if your certifier is right there with you. Buildcert have backed every one of them for a decade. I would not build without them.
