Invest in quality for long-term returns
Quality Investment Properties
At Builder Direct, we have changed the way people build their investment properties, making it easier than ever before.
Our streamlined approach enables you to acquire fixed price house and land packages that are ready to rent upon completion, eliminating the hassles typically associated with property investment. We take care of everything, from sourcing the land to building the house, offering new build investment opportunities across North Queensland and Western Australia.
The Builder Direct Difference
We are committed to constructing investment properties that people genuinely want to live in. Far too often, investors fall into the trap of opting for the cheapest builds, overlooking the long-term capital growth and saleability of their homes.
Our objective is to strike the perfect balance between affordability and quality.We understand that choosing quality not only attracts better tenants but also generates a superior rental return and saves you money long term, as you won’t be replacing and fixing items sooner than you need to.

Before proceeding with your preferred location and house design, it's vital to secure financing. This involves having an initial deposit and collaborating with a trusted bank or finance broker to navigate the process successfully.
All our packages are situated in estates where we have established partnerships with developers. This means you're acquiring more than just a house and land; you're becoming part of a thriving community.
Once you have identified your desired location and secured financing, it's time to explore our diverse range of pre-packaged houses and land options. If you can't find precisely what you're seeking, our expert team can curate personalised options that align with your goals.
This step allows you to personalize your new home. To simplify the process, we offer on-trend colour packages. Simply choose the look you prefer, and that's it!
Rest assured our team takes care of all the necessary engineering and approvals to ensure a smooth progression.
Once we have received building approval, we proceed to the construction phase. At this stage, you would have made all your selections. Sit back, relax, and let us build your home.
Once your home is ready, you or your representative will have the opportunity to walk through the property with our construction manager before making your final payment. Upon receipt of payment, we can arrange for your keys to be delivered to your chosen property manager, allowing your new tenant to move in seamlessly.
