Your home is more than a house.
It’s where your family plays, talks and laughs, where you build and grow and create together, where you muse on old memories and make new ones.
That’s why our pricing is radically transparent.
It’s why we build for quality, not volume, with base inclusions that most builders charge more for.
And it’s why we build for your lifestyle, with design options ranging from above-standard inclusions to fully bespoke builds.
Your home is where life happens – so getting it right matters.

‘We couldn’t be more happy with our building process using Arista Homes, from the very start their service was impeccable.
Our slab was laid 13th June 22 and we moved in 11 November. That’s an unheard off 4 1/2 month build with no sacrifice to the quality of the finishes to our home.
Our building supervisor is the best of the best and defiantly has a passion for attention to detail and customer service.
Any minor imperfections to the plan were fixed promptly and everything fell into place perfectly.
The whole Team at Arista Homes worked together to provide a fantastic service and we cant recommend them enough!’

Book a free feature-by-feature analysis with us to find out exactly what each of your estimates includes and excludes.
One of our estimators will walk you through their findings in an in-person or remote meeting, then email a summary report you can use to clarify discrepancies with other builders.
Get inspiration for your new Sherwood home.
In Queensland, all new home builds must have home warranty insurance – but that doesn’t mean you’re protected.
Lodging a successful claim often requires time and money that new homeowners don’t have.
It’s why every new home we build includes a complimentary 12-month maintenance period in addition to your insurance.
If you encounter any construction defects after we’ve handed over the keys, we’ll fix them for you – at no extra cost and as soon as the right trades are free.

All timelines are approximate. Inclement weather, trade and material shortages, and other factors can affect how long your new home takes to be built.

The top home builders in Sherwood and surrounding suburbs are:
We’ll always do our best to preserve mature trees, particularly in suburbs like Sherwood that feature so many beautiful jacarandas. That can be difficult for certain blocks, though, especially if the tree impedes machinery access to the site.
If you’d like to keep a particular tree in place, let us know before work starts and we’ll coordinate with an arborist to identify the best workaround. (In some cases, we might need a permit from the Brisbane City Council to remove a tree anyway.)
The average custom build in Sherwood costs around $2,500 per square metre. While a custom home is more expensive than a standard-design build, it’s also uniquely matched to your property and lifestyle – the kind of space you want to live in for the next 20 or 30 years.
Before you sign a build contract, it’s a good idea to interview at least 3 different Sherwood home builders. Don’t let tactics like pressure-selling and time-limited offers affect your decision. Building a new home will probably be one of the biggest financial choices you make – choosing the right builder is worth it.
When you talk to your top picks, ask them questions like:
You aren’t looking for ‘perfect’ answers. Any established builder will have projects that go over budget/schedule. You’re looking for honesty and transparency, because those are the two traits (along with good craftsmanship) that matter most in making your dream home a reality.
Financing for your new home should be finalised by the time you sign your build contract with us. That’s generally around 7 weeks from our initial conversation. Of course, the earlier you can get approval from your lender, the better – it’s normally best to get pre-approval before choosing a builder, followed by formal approval once you receive the build contract.
Yes, topographical surveying and soil testing are both inclusions in our fixed-price standard designs (project homes). Understanding the type of soil your new home will be built on matters a lot – getting it wrong can lead to slab movement and cracking.
Under the NCC’s site classification, most homes around Sherwood tend to be class M or H (H sites tend to require more under-slab plumbing to stabilise them).
Class | Foundation |
A | Most sand and rock sites with little or no ground movement from moisture changes |
S | Slightly reactive clay sites with only slight ground movement from moisture changes |
M | Moderately reactive clay or silt sites which can experience moderate ground movement from moisture changes |
H | Highly reactive clay sites which can experience high ground movement from moisture changes |
E | Extremely reactive clay sites which can experience extreme ground movement from moisture changes |
A to P | Filled sites — see AS 2870 |
P | Sites which include soft soils, such as soft clay or silt or loose sands; landslip; mine subsidence; collapsing soils; soils subject to erosion; reactive sites subject to abnormal moisture conditions or sites which cannot be classified otherwise. |
