Building for Family – Why Alex Chose iBuild’s Emerald Design

Alex Gregoriou is building an Emerald kit home in Leopold, VIC, for his mother-in-law, Wendy. As a qualified electrician with hands-on experience, Alex is managing the project himself and working alongside a registered builder — his cousin — to bring the vision to life. Together, they’re aiming to create a comfortable, purpose-built home tailored to Wendy’s needs.

In the lead-up to attending the Mornington Tiny Homes Expo, Alex and Wendy visited iBuild’s display home in Mulgrave to better understand the scale and build quality on offer. While the display model wasn’t the Emerald design specifically, it gave them a sense of the construction standard and spatial layout iBuild provides. This visit helped Wendy visualise her future home and confirmed that iBuild’s offerings aligned with their expectations.

After comparing other suppliers, Alex was drawn to iBuild’s transparent pricing, flexibility for design customisation, and strong support throughout the build process. The use of trusted local suppliers like Bunnings provided extra confidence in both product quality and long-term support — a major consideration for an experienced tradie like Alex.

With a clear process, responsive service, and a design that matched their needs and budget, Alex felt assured they’d chosen the right team. Now, he’s excited to move forward with the build — backed by Australia’s Most Trusted and Awarded Kit Home Supplier.
