Home Builders With A Reputation For Results

Custom Home Builders in Melbourne’s South East

Kialla Homes is a boutique custom home builder in Melbourne’s south-east, specialising in country-style homes, acreage homes and knock down rebuilds across Melbourne’s outer suburbs and regional growth areas.

For more than four decades, Kialla Homes has built a reputation for delivering thoughtfully designed homes with exceptional attention to detail. Today the business is led by Ron Sebire and Dino Rachele, who took over ownership in 2023 after many years working within the company.

Their leadership continues Kialla Homes’ long-standing philosophy: build fewer homes, build them better, and remain personally involved in every project.

We Are Local Builders Who Understand Your Land

Many of our clients are building on larger suburban blocks, rural land or lifestyle acreage, where standard project homes simply don’t suit the land or the lifestyle.

Our homes are carefully designed to maximise views, natural light and connection to the surrounding landscape while maintaining practical layouts for modern living.

Because every block is different, we work closely with our clients to tailor each design to suit their land, budget and lifestyle.

We Demonstrate Leadership Built on Industry Experience
Kialla Homes is owned and operated by Ron Sebire and Dino Rachele, both experienced builders who spent many years working within the company before taking ownership.

Ron joined Kialla Homes in the early 2000s and worked as the company’s Senior Estimator, bringing deep expertise in construction pricing, design practicality and value-focused building solutions.

Dino has over 30 years of experience in the building industry and previously served as Construction Manager, overseeing the delivery of homes and ensuring the company’s reputation for quality construction.

Together they combine technical construction knowledge with hands-on project experience, allowing Kialla Homes to deliver homes that are both beautifully designed and well built.

We Offer A Boutique Approach to Home Building
Unlike large volume builders, Kialla Homes intentionally keeps the number of homes built each year limited.

This allows the team to remain closely involved in every project and ensures each client receives a personalised building experience from design through to completion.

Our clients appreciate the difference this approach makes many come to us looking for something more tailored than a standard project home.

Whether it’s a standard design, ranch-style home, a country farmhouse design or a custom design, we work closely with you to create a home that reflects your lifestyle and your land.

Together they combine technical construction knowledge with hands-on project experience, allowing Kialla Homes to deliver homes that are both beautifully designed and well built.

We Build Homes Designed to Last
At Kialla Homes, quality is not something we compromise on. Every home we build reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, thoughtful design and personalised service.

When you build with Kialla Homes, you’re not just selecting a house design, you’re working with an experienced team dedicated to helping you create a home that truly suits your land, lifestyle and future.

    We couldn’t be happier with the experience building our dream home with Kialla Homes! From the very beginning, the team were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. They took the time to truly understand what we wanted and worked with us to customise the design to suit our needs — especially focusing on maximising our views, which was so important to us. Our block landscape was challenging with a 1/2 demolished fire damaged house onsite, they saw the vision and advised us on the best forward when we simply felt lost on how to progress. Throughout the entire build, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and worked closely with us on everything. We made quite a few changes along the journey (okay… plenty 😂), but nothing was ever too much trouble. Every request was handled quickly, professionally and with the knowledge and expertise required, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. The quality of the build speaks for itself — our home is absolutely beautiful and the fit out is second to none. It’s clear that a lot of care and craftsmanship has gone into every detail. We did look at other builders, as you do, but with them we felt like just another number. There was little interest in customisation or working with our vision. With Kialla Homes, it was completely different — they genuinely cared and helped us create the open, spacious home we had always imagined. From design right through to completion, the entire team were fantastic. A special shoutout to our site supervisor Steve, who did an amazing job keeping everything on track and running smoothly. Mentions also to Dino, Ron, Jackson, Dan.P and the boys, “the Peter’s” (yes, there are a few 😂), Craig, Luca, Cory, Sean — and many more, sorry if we’ve missed you. Every one of you played a part in bringing our home to life, and we’re incredibly grateful. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result and so grateful to Kialla Homes for making our dream a reality, Thank you. We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly!

    As a second time experience with building a new home. We didn’t think it would be so hard to find a company that would build a custom home. It took a good part of last year going back and forth talking with different ones only to find out in the end that it would cost so much extra changing area to suit our life. It wasn’t until speaking with a friend that built also her first home. So in talking with her and asked so many questions she told me she went with Kialla homes. I knew if she was happy with the outcome of her build (knowing she is very fussy) that I would give Kialla homes a go. So to make a long story short and having long conversations we came to the conclusion of going with Kialla homes, especially they do custom which majority of other companies don’t do that. So as they say the outcome has been nothing but an amazing experience from the start but not quite finished our home as yet. Each time we go and see the progress we are so over the moon with the progress( as you’ll see with the photos. We would also really love to say that all that we’ve dealt with has been amazing, especially William Guest who has been so patient I must say. I would recommend to give him a call if you’re thinking of building with Kialla Homes. Also in meeting Ron, Steve and John, all have been so easy to get along with. Even when it was time to do our color consult, Abbie was amazing and very helpful in helping make our design happen , even in talking with others that are connected with the company have been amazing and very helpful. I hope who ever is looking for a building a new home give Kialla Homes a call you won’t be disappointed. Photos are of the home in progress. An update of the finished home will come.

    We are so thrilled with our new home built by Kialla Homes. This is my second time building with Kialla Homes. From the initial design phase where we went back and fourth with ideas right through to the completed build where we saw our plans come to life, Kialla walked us through this, listened to what we wanted and kept us up to date the entire process. The finishings and attention to detail make us so happy to live and enjoy our new home.

    Finding a builder who was willing to work with my own designs was a challenge in itself, but then I found Kialla Homes, and they were incredibly accommodating. Every step of the building process, from the initial consultation to the day I received my keys, went above and beyond my expectations. Working with the entire Kialla team was a pleasure, and I couldn't be happier with the result of my new forever home. Thank you Kialla Homes!

    I have been looking for a builder who would build off our house plans, when searching I came across Kialla Homes. From my initial phone call to Kialla Homes to discuss building our home off our plans which they were very accommodating. From that moment till the final stage it has been an amazing journey. The team at Kialla were great to deal with, from reception to their assistance, support and advice. When it came to the colour selection they made it easy to choose in making the right decision to be able to build our dream home. Then during the process at every stage, our building supervisor was fantastic with keeping us up to date with the progress. The advice during the build was great which made the process go smoothly not to mention the attention to detail. Then to see the end result of our dream home come together we were lost for words, it exceeded our expectations. A big thank you to the team at Kialla Homes, for building the home of our dreams. We would highly recommend Kialla Homes to anyone looking to have their home built.

    We would like to pass on our thanks to the whole team at Kialla Homes. From the design stage (Bruce), the office (especially Graeme and Daniella), and, most importantly, our site supervisor Steve. Despite the issues around COVID and impact on people, materials and supply chains; they have all maintained a professional approach and kept the project moving ahead. We are extremely pleased with our new home; the build; fixtures and fittings; and quality throughout. Steve has been a great communicator and takes obvious pride in his work. Throughout the project he was always approachable, open to discuss changes, answer our questions and hear our concerns. He ensured that all trades completed their work to a high standard and got us in before contract end date. We are now looking forward to enjoying our home and highly recommend Kialla as a builder. Thank you - Andy and Nicky
