Welcome to the web site of Post & Beam. We have been designing and building unique Australian homes for 30 years.

Our homes are constructed using a traditional building method which has been tested all over the world for many centuries. They use large post and beams to create the load bearing frame. This means that internal and external walls do not support the roof as do the commonplace light timber and veneer houses we so often see today.
Consequently our unique building method means that you have virtually unlimited design flexibility. Whether it is a quaint cosy cottage or a magnificent mansion your home can be whatever you want. We sit down with each client face to face and discuss their individual living requirements.
Use whatever material you want. You can use whatever materials internally and externally that you want. Many clients use Timbercrete or mud bricks for external walls because they are lovely eco-sensitive mediums, but virtually any material can be used to great effect - timber, sandstone, kiln fired bricks or bluestone are just some examples.
Five Star energy efficiency. All Post & Beam® individually designed homes are assessed by an accredited Energy Assessor right through from the sketch plan stage using the Sustainable Energy Authority of Victoria FirstRate computer software program.
Built for you. If you want your home built to fully registered completion (or lock-up, minimum occupancy or any other stage) then this can be done for you. We can build whatever you want right through to the final finishing touches.
Owner built kits. If on the other hand you want to build your own home with your own hands then we can supply all the materials you need right down to the last nut and bolt, pre-cut, coded and ready to assemble together with our easy to understand plain English illustrated construction manual. Then you are set to build it entirely yourself, but rest assured we are always there if you need a hand or some helpful advice.
Built in stages. We can design your new home with you so that it can be built in affordable stages. The first stage can be built with all the facilities you need to move in. You save on rent and reduce your mortgage loan. The next stage can be started whenever time or savings are available.
