“We do a lot of houses with different scopes and attributes. Our job is to ensure that at the planning stage, we spend hours and hours guiding our clients through this uncharted territory and help them open up to what their needs are.” As an example, Bishwas cites a project they completed on Chadwick Drive in Gables. The client there wanted a four-bedroom two-story house. “Once we dug more around it, we found they had three kids. The wife enjoyed cooking at home, husband spent a lot of time at work. He needed personal space after work. We built this house with a swimming pool at the back where the husband has a gym room overlooking the pool, and we created a massive kitchen for the wife. A completely different project was completed on Pluto Ave. in Leppington. This person was big on lifestyle. He was a sports figure and did a lot of entertaining. The house has an indoor pool with a bar next to the pool – the status symbol meant a lot to him,” says Bishwas. “Since we are a custom builder, that house is only for that client. We don’t replicate that house again,” he says. “We take up a lot of our time and clients’ time in making it special. We don’t revisit that house with someone else. Every house we build on a street or in a suburb is unique in and of itself.” Sustainability is also a concern for Ruby Homes. They use the BASIX (Building Sustainability Index), system created by the government of New South THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
