Built Around You

We Don’t Just Build in the Redlands. We’re From Here

There’s a difference between a builder who works in the Redlands and a builder who’s from the Redlands. We’re based in Cleveland. We know Redland City Council’s requirements, the soil conditions across different suburbs, the flood overlay areas, and which blocks are trickier than they look.

That local knowledge saves you time, money, and headaches. When you need an answer, we’re 10 minutes away, not across town.
With over 70 years of combined experience, our team has delivered custom homes, duplexes, townhouses, and knock-down rebuilds right across the Redlands region. We’re not a volume builder chasing numbers. We’re a small, focused team that takes on projects we can deliver properly, with one point of contact from start to finish.

Whether you’re building your first home in Thornlands, replacing an older house in Cleveland, or developing a duplex in Victoria Point, we bring the same level of care to every project. No call centres. No handoffs. Just a local builder doing the job right.

WHAT WE BUILD

Homes Built for the Redlands

  • Custom Homes: Designed for your block and your family. Every site across the Redlands is different, slope, orientation, soil type, and council overlays all play a role. We design and build homes that work with the site, not against it. From Raby Bay waterfront blocks to elevated lots in Thornlands, we tailor every build to suit the land and the way you want to live.
  • Duplexes: Two homes on one block. Duplexes are one of the smartest ways to make the most of a Redlands property. Whether you’re an investor looking for dual rental income or a family wanting to live in one side and rent the other, we handle the full process, from feasibility and council approvals through to handover. We’ll tell you upfront whether your block qualifies and what you can realistically build.
  • Knock-Down Rebuilds: Love the street but not the house? Plenty of homes across Cleveland, Ormiston, and Wellington Point are reaching the end of their life. Rather than renovating around old problems, a knock-down rebuild gives you a brand-new home on the block you already love. We manage the demolition, council approvals, and the full build, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.
  • Townhouses: Multi-dwelling projects for developers and investors across the Redlands. Townhouse developments require careful planning around council codes, parking, setbacks, and site coverage. We work with you and your design team to deliver projects that are commercially viable and built to a standard that holds up long after handover.
  • Narrow Block Builds: Plenty of blocks in the Redlands are tighter than standard, especially in older suburbs like Cleveland, Birkdale, and Alexandra Hills. Narrow frontages don’t have to mean compromised living. We know how to design and build on restricted sites, making the most of every square metre while still meeting council setback and boundary requirements.

We were referred to Steve & Brent by a friend and were told they were amazing. After talking to several mainstream building companies, we talked to Steve & Brent and were immediately impressed with their communication and professionalism. We have just finished building our dream home with Iconic and we could not be happier. The whole process was seamless and the team guided us through every single step. Steve's vast building experience really shines through at every point in the process and he helped us design the most amazing home for our family. Iconic use only the best contractors in the business, so you know the people they are using to build your home are the best in Brisbane. Steve and Brent were there for us at every possible decision making point in the process of designing our home and were always available to answer questions and give advice on how to approach any kind of issue. The Iconic team are simply amazing. One of the guys Cam was just fantastic on site, great bloke and nothing was ever an issue. Right up to handover day, the guys were meticulously going through the house to ensure when we took ownership everything was 100% perfect for us. I highly recommend Iconic to anyone looking to build their dream home. In my opinion there isn't any team that is better. Thanks Steve, Brent & Cam for building our dream home!

We have built four homes, and working with Steve & Brent from Iconic Homes has been the best experience by far. Steve & Brent built our beautiful home on Long street and watching our dream turn into a really was so exciting. From the very beginning, they approached our build as if they were building their own home. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every suggestion they made, all of which greatly improved the final result. They took the time to thoroughly understand our vision, making sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. There were no hidden costs—everything was transparent from start to finish. The workmanship was exceptional, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Iconic Homes to anyone looking to build. Their dedication, expertise, and personal touch make all the difference. We couldn't be happier with our new home, it is absolutely stunning!

We can highly recommend Iconic Homes and Construction without reservation. They are highly professional and we couldn’t be happier with the service, workmanship and craftsmanship delivered. Being in another state had no conflict with our build as Steve and Brent would make regular phone calls and as the project progressed, they would make regular video calls to go over finer details and/or ways project details could be improved or refined. They are always available and happy for catch ups/ discussions on the project whether it be a late evening or weekend to discuss things if need be. We were always kept informed with mile stone marks of the building. They have a large range of qualified tradesmen at hand that deliver quality workmanship. The attention to detail is second to none, completing works with care and precision. We are extremely happy that we have had no hesitation in starting our next project with them.

For people as fussy as us, using Steve and Brent for our Hamptons style new build was an obvious choice from first meeting. Having been burnt by previous stressful and frustrating building/renovation experiences, Steve and Brent allayed our fears and concerns by working closely with us from the start to ensure we could achieve our dream within budget. They even invited us into their private homes that they built themselves to inspect the finished product. During construction Steve and Brent updated us regularly and we did not have to worry about a thing - it was such a good feeling to know that we were in good hands. Even when we made minor changes on the fly, Steve and Brent were extremely accommodating! Their professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, communication, friendliness and courtesy won us over and has us speaking their praises. We most appreciated their hands on approach (literally on site on the tools everyday!) and the fact that we knew what we were getting was exactly what we wanted. Thanks again Steve and Brent! We hope you'll still be building when we're ready to do our next one!
