Once you’ve decided to build a home, choosing your builder is the most important decision you’ll make. Get it wrong, and it could end in disaster.
So, why choose Killarney?
- Absolute customer focus: We’re passionate about building energy efficient homes, but what really drives us is making your life better. We collaborate with you throughout the design and building process, and go above and beyond to ensure you’re delighted with your finished home. Ultimately, we’re not happy until you’re happy.
- Maximum energy efficiency: We’re the market leaders in energy efficient homes for the tropics. All of our homes have been energy audited and rated above 5 stars. Our display homes are rated well over 7 stars – the best in Darwin and the reason we hold both the MBA and HIA Awards for energy efficient housing. If energy efficiency is important to you (and it should be!), building a Killarney home is a no-brainer.
- Unrivalled quality: As well as energy efficiency, you want your home to look beautiful and last the distance. We use the very best in materials and tradespeople, in accordance with Quality Management System AS/NZS 9001:2000, ensuring unrivalled quality for a beautiful, enduring end result.
- Value for money: Some people believe that because of our energy efficiency credentials and commitment to quality, we’ll be out of their price range. Not so. We have a range of beautiful, energy efficient homes to suit all budgets – from first home owners right through to retirees.
- Comprehensive processes: Our building processes are best-in-class, ensuring a stress-free, efficient, and enjoyable building experience. You’ll get your own project team who will oversee all aspects of your home’s construction, ensuring you know exactly what to expect and when – giving you ultimate peace of mind.
- Award-winning design and execution: We don’t just talk the talk, we walk it too. Our efforts have been recognised and praised with over 100 awards so far. Perhaps your home will win the next?! For a full list of awards, please check the list on this page.
- Personal design consulting: Choosing colours and finishes can be a daunting task. With Killarney, you’ll get a dedicated personal design consultant to guide you through the vast array of design choices available for a stylish end result.
- Fixed price contract: Unlike many other builders, you’ll get an absolute fixed price inclusive of site works prior to signing any contracts, ensuring budget precision and peace of mind.
- Guaranteed site start and 22-week construction period*: When you register, you’ll be given a site-start month. Provided your land is settled and your finances are in order, we guarantee that construction will commence in the agreed month. We limit our suburb site starts to only three per month, ensuring efficient construction management and quality control. With Killarney, there’s also no risk of disappearing builders or timing delays. You can trust that construction will be completed on time, enabling you to plan a seamless transition into your new home.
- Exclusive finance: We want your experience to be as stress-free and simple as possible. With our in-house finance specialists, we offer you a complete home and loan solution under the one roof.
