Classic building is a premium builder of fine homes. At Classic we like to think 'outside the square' and strive to design and build homes that are unique but are unmistakable as another CLASSIC home. We offer a complete design service as well as our standard range of homes. Clients work with us to customize the designs to suit sites, slopes, budgets, family size, and any other considerations... The company consists of four equal partners and numerous team members who bring together the various skills required to be a competent and successful building and design company. Between the partners there are many years of experience in the domestic timber construction industry. Since our establishment in 1990 as Classic Country Cottages, we have designed and built in excess of 250 homes. We remain relatively small in order to retain the personal level of service which has made us so popular. In 2013 we began also trading as Classic Building & Design to better communicate what we do, and whilst we still do the “Country Cottages” the Classic Building & Design is a better description of who we are. Remember - the guy that sells you the home builds you the home, and your project manager is a Company Director with a vested interest in the success of your project. Our best sales teams are our previous customers and all new clients spend time on current and previous projects. With every project it is imperative to us that our clients remain happy and satisfied with the service, product and commitment shown by CLASSIC, and to that end we work with the client throughout... Experience From a wealth of experience in the building industry, Classic has created a range of unique home designs for the beach, for the country, for where you live, to make your dream come true. Experienced and innovative craftsmen, the finest natural materials, presented with a commitment and attention to detail through each stage of the project, are the hallmarks of a Classic home. A Blend of Tradition and New A wonderful blend of the old and the new defines the Classic home. The wide covered verandah leads to the deck and to the polished wooden floors and stone or stainless steel of the most modern kitchen. Full width solid maple timber bi-fold doors slip away to dissolve the boundary between outside and in. Whether your home is in town or overlooking the rainforest of the Yarramalong Valley, Classic gives you the freedom to stay in touch with what is genuinely Australia, with all the amenities of today.

Tailored for the Environment Building houses that rest easily within the natural Australian environment and land-scape, Classic uses the wealth of knowledge learnt over many years of building experience, to create practical and energy efficient houses where you can relax, and genuinely feel at home. The range of designs includes romantic timber themed homes, Beach houses and a variety of special designs, which can be built to suit your own design, specifications & budget. A variety of building stages are also available, from lock-up to completion, and every house - and every stage - carefully project-managed to keep the customer directly involved in the process. Environmental Credentials Classic homes utilize passive solar elements, high levels of insulation, breeze paths and smart orientation to allow owners to warm and cool their homes with minimal energy consumption. Our homes also have low embodied energy, being mainly built from sustainably managed plantation timber which continues to store carbon long after the tree is felled. Visually, Classic homes are designed to sit easily and unobtrusively within the surrounding landscape, combining modern conveniences with quintessentially Australian looks. Energy Efficiency In addition to the passive thermal comfort elements incorporated into a design, providing adequate levels of insulation throughout the home, orientation, exposure to cooling breezes is paramount, with the internal floor plan layout designed to allow multiple breeze paths through the building as well as establish zoning between living areas and bedrooms. Window and door placement to avoid summer heat gains, effective shading and channeling of breezes via landscaping, and roof and wall colours with a low level of solar absorption are all other elements that play a vital role.
