Luxury Custom Home Builder Brisbane

Built Around You

We Build Homes To Suit Brisbane’s Bayside Living.

Wynnum’s biggest asset is the one most builders treat as an afterthought: the view. Elevated blocks looking out over Moreton Bay toward the islands are worth designing around, not just building on. That means thinking hard about orientation, window placement, and floor levels before a single footing goes in, not adding a deck at the end and calling it a water view.

We know which Wynnum streets sit on sloping or elevated blocks, where coastal exposure changes what materials and detailing you need, and how Brisbane City Council assesses builds in this part of the Bayside. That local knowledge means fewer surprises during design and approvals, and a build that actually makes the most of the block you bought.

With over 70 years of combined experience, our team has built custom homes and managed knock-down rebuilds across the Bayside.
We take on the projects we can deliver properly, with one point of contact from the first sketch to handover.

Whether you’re replacing a tired post-war home in Wynnum Central, building fresh on a sloping block in Manly, or planning something in Lota , we bring the same approach: design that respects the site instead of fighting it.

WHAT WE BUILD

Homes Built for the Bayside Coastline

  • Custom Homes: Wynnum and Manly blocks aren’t flat suburban lots. Slope, orientation, and coastal exposure all shape what works on a site, and a design that ignores them ends up costing you the view or the budget, sometimes both. We design homes that capture the bay outlook where it exists and hold up to salt air and coastal wind loads over the long run.
  • Dual Living & Multigenerational Homes: Where the block allows for it, a well-designed dual living layout on an elevated Wynnum or Manly site can put a self-contained space and a full water view on the same property. We’ll tell you honestly whether your block supports it before you commit to a design.
  • Knock-Down Rebuilds: A lot of the housing stock in Wynnum, Manly, and Lota is older, character-era or post-war, sitting on blocks with genuine elevation and outlook. Rather than renovating around a house that was never built for how you live now, a knock-down rebuild lets you keep the position and the views and start with a home designed for them. We manage demolition, council approvals, and the full build.
  • Sloping and elevated blocks: Wynnum, Manly, and the hills around Lota have some of the trickier terrain on the Bayside. Split levels, retaining, and foundation design all need to be right before you’re locked into a floor plan that doesn’t suit the land. Read more on our Sloping Blocks page for how we approach these sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got another question? Please reach out to us!
After 20 years of building homes in Brisbane, we have built all sorts of homes and dealt with all planning, design and approval scenarios!

We build across Wynnum, Manly, Lota and down into the Redlands with Wellington Point, Ormiston and Raby Bay

A custom build generally starts from $1M. A budget less than this cannot give the finishes that we pride ourselves on delivering

Yes, it’s a big part of what we do in Wynnum and Manly specifically. Split-level and elevated designs need the right foundation and retaining approach worked out early, not adjusted on the fly once construction starts.

Yes, we manage the demolition, council approvals, and the full rebuild so you’re not coordinating separate contractors.

Yes. Orientation and window placement get worked out at the design stage specifically to capture the outlook, not bolted on afterward.

Most custom homes take between 8 and 14 months depending on the complexity of the design, site conditions, and council approval timelines. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project during the planning stage.

Zoning and lot size are the main factors. We offer free feasibility checks to tell you exactly what’s possible on your block.

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. Gavin & Sheridan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!
