We would like to congratulate our customers Peter & Adi for selecting the Kit Homes Mornington design for their project near Cowaramup, WA.
Why Choose iBuild
From Endless Searching to the Perfect Fit: Peter and Adi’s Build Begins
Located in Cowaramup, a relaxed township in Western Australia’s Margaret River region known for its rolling farmland and unhurried pace, Peter and Adi spent almost a year comparing kit home suppliers before landing on a decision they felt confident about.
The project has a dual purpose: a rental investment to begin with, and a home for family down the track. For Peter and Adi, the build isn’t just a financial decision – it’s a long-term one.
The Research Behind the Decision
Peter’s search began online, working through the range of kit home companies available and weighing up the owner-builder route against engaging a local builder. After roughly a year of browsing, iBuild consistently appeared near the top of search results – backed by positive reviews from thousands of happy customers.
“I liked your website with all the extra information, all the tips and tricks as an owner builder. You can get a lot of information to familiarise yourself with how you’re going to manage a project yourself.”
The clarity and depth of information available made the process feel genuinely achievable before a single form had been signed.
The majority of iBuild’s material deliveries are fulfilled through Bunnings, often regarded as one of Australia’s most reputable suppliers. For Peter, managing an owner-builder project in regional Western Australia, that counted for a lot.
For a small corner block in Cowaramup, the Mornington is a considered choice. Its compact, well-proportioned footprint makes the most of a tighter site without compromising on liveability – a practical layout that works as a rental, and just as comfortably as a home for family down the track. Peter and Adi came to the design with a clear picture of what they needed, and the Mornington matched it.
“We found a design that was perfect for our situation – it fitted the block we were building on, and was exactly what we were looking for.”
Peter and Adi chose timber framing for the build, reflecting their long-term vision for the property. Double-glazed windows were chosen from the outset, a proactive decision that strengthens the build’s thermal performance and energy rating before the formal assessment is even run. With a large solar array already on the main dwelling, the new build is set up to perform efficiently from day one.
After a year of careful research, a design that fitted the block, and a team that gave them the information they needed to move forward with confidence, Peter and Adi are building stronger, smarter, faster, and more affordably than they once thought possible.
“ We spent about a year looking through different kit home companies and weighing up our options. iBuild consistently were among the top results, with reviews from thousands of happy customers. They also had a design that perfectly suited what we were after. What really stood out was the support the website offered with loads of tips and information for owner builders.
