Building your Forever Home in Bicheno
Bicheno sits on Tasmania’s stunning east coast, where white beaches meet orange-lichen granite and the Tasman Sea. It’s a relaxed, sought-after coastal town — and building here means designing for sea air, coastal light and homes that frame an extraordinary setting.
We build custom and Passive House homes throughout Bicheno and the east coast, engineered for the marine environment and effortlessly comfortable year-round.
Getting a Bicheno build priced and started
Bicheno sits about an hour south of our St Helens office at Akaroa, with our Launceston headquarters behind it — so an east-coast build here is run from nearby, not managed at arm’s length. Every project starts with our 48-hour estimate: send us your block and your brief and we price the build within 10% across more than 90 cost categories, including the salt- and wind-rated detailing, any bushfire (BAL) considerations for the site, and the travel and delivery logistics that come with east-coast work.
For a clear picture of what genuine custom building costs across the state in 2026, see our cost to build in Tasmania guide. And if you’re weighing up high-performance construction for a windy coastal block, we hold the most experienced certified Passive House team in Tasmania — thirteen qualified tradespeople who detail airtightness and ventilation as standard practice, not a special order.
