The sense of “home above house” is key to Ruby Homes’ success, says founder Bishwas Bhattarai. The company’s motto is: “We build homes, not houses.” The luxury custom home builder has been doing this in Metro Sydney since 2020. “We don’t have extra add-ins. We do everything before issuing the tender,” he says. “We are very much a custom home designer and we specialize in houses that suit the requirements and needs of the family who will live there.” “Our target market is the owner who will live in the home, and wants a family home,” says Bishwas. “We focus on houses that are built for the family. Ruby Homes also does knock-down rebuilds and duplexes. They are very selective on what they build. “Each house has to be custom above all.” “A lot of houses built here are done with the project home mindset,” says Bishwas. Cost is number one with a certain segment of the construction industry, while practicality is not important. The contractor looks at the aspect of building the house for the market, not to be lived in. “When we build a house into a home, we consider a lot: how many children, if you want to work from home, how you’re going to use the house,” he says. He gives as an example someone working from home. “You find most of the time home offices are located in a corner or under the stairs or something like that. That defies our purpose of building a house. The house is yours to enjoy. If someone is spending eight-to-nine hours per day in this room, we want it to have an ideal location, and bright sunlight, so that person can work comfortably in that room for eight hours.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
