From dream to vision
From dream to vision
We are a Sydney team of experts, delivering bespoke, high end homes.
Home Front begins where design and construction meet.
The same hands carry a home from first sketch to final detail, so nothing is lost between a drawing and the house it becomes.

How we work
The same team that draws your home builds it and carries it through to completion. Nothing handed off, nothing lost between.

Design
Your home begins with how you live and what your site offers. Because we build what we design, costing runs alongside every sketch - the home you fall in love with is the home your budget allows. No redraws, no stripped-back concepts, and a clean path through council.

Build
Our builders bring decades of Sydney experience, working alongside our designers from the first sketch. The gap between builder and architect - usually weeks of emails and costly variations - closes. Questions are answered the day they’re asked, and quality is built in from the ground.

Jonathan Saxon
Clement & Reid Project Surveyors
When a site carries boundary or title complications, the right team is the difference between a clean path forward and lengthy legal friction. Jonathan and his team work across title systems, covenants and caveats, and the boundary surveys that secure your property rights before construction commits to the ground.

Ray Slack
Non-bank Finance
When bank finance won't cover the project, Ray and his team know where else the capital sits. They work across private credit, mezzanine and development funds, matching the structure to the deal economics so the right path forward isn't just the obvious one, but the one that actually serves the return.
