What we build

Middle to high end custom residential.

Custom new homes on standard blocks, acreage on rural-residential land, pole homes on sloping or elevated terrain, knockdown rebuilds, renovations and extensions. Same team. Same licensed builder. Same standard.

01

New homes

One-off custom homes on standard suburban blocks. Architect-led or builder-led design, middle-to-high-end finish, full client involvement on materials and trades. Not a display-village build · not a repeating floorplan · one home at a time, properly.

Architect-friendly Custom design Mid-to-high finish
02

Acreage homes

Larger lots on rural-residential and acreage land across Logan, the Gold Coast hinterland and Brisbane outer south. Site coordination · access, services, retaining, septic where needed, landscape coordination · all run through one builder.

Rural-residential Hinterland Family estate
03

Pole homes

Elevated builds on timber or steel poles, set into footings engineered for the block. Pole construction has its own engineering rules · footing depth, retaining, span, deck connections, council overlays. Strong on sloping, split-block and difficult-terrain sites.

Sloping Elevated View blocks
04

Knockdown & rebuild

Demolition and new build on the same lot, run as one contract. Suits buyers who've outgrown a Brisbane suburb home and want to stay in it · Sherwood, Gordon Park, Cornubia, Rochedale. Demolition, services disconnection, council and full custom new build from one team.

05

Renovations

Large-scale residential renovation work · structural changes, kitchen and bathroom rebuilds, layout reworks, second-storey extensions where the existing footprint allows. Done where the home is sound and the reno makes more sense than a rebuild.

Structural Heritage-aware Family home
06

Home extensions

Adding to an existing home · rear extensions, second-storey additions, granny flats and garage-to-living conversions. Council coordination, structural engineering and finish-matching to the original build.

Pools: coordinated as part of full-property builds rather than as a standalone service. Talk to us about your project.
The founder

Ben Knott. Carpenter, then builder, then this.

Ben started his carpentry apprenticeship in 1998 after entering the trade in 1995. He worked through Contrast Constructions, Wally Williams, Hillside Living and the Pole Home Group · learning new homes, then learning the engineering of difficult-block builds. He earned his QLD building licence in the mid-2000s and founded Maddison Constructions in 2007, named for his daughter.

Maddison runs as a family-team operation · Ben, Jo, Dave, John, Luke and the rest of the team are the names our clients put in their reviews. Same people from quote through handover. No subcontracted account management.

If you're talking to us about your build, you're talking to Ben.

How a Maddison build runs

Five stages, no surprises.

Our process is the same whether you're building a custom one-off in a Brisbane suburb or a pole home on a difficult Hinterland block. The reason it's repeatable is because we don't take the work that doesn't fit it.

01 / DISCOVERY

Site walk + brief

Walk the block. Understand what you're trying to build and why. Honest read on whether we're the right builder · or whether we're not.

02 / DESIGN

Plans + engineering

Architect's plans or our recommended designer. Engineering for the slope, retaining, footings. Council and overlay clearance.

03 / QUOTE

Fixed-price contract

Standard QBCC residential contract. Stage payments. Allowances itemised. Inclusions and exclusions on paper, not implied.

04 / BUILD

Site through handover

6 to 12 months for a new home. Site supervisor on the build, not floating. Weekly progress, photographs, change orders documented.

05 / WARRANTY

Hand keys + cover

Practical completion walk-through. Domestic Building Insurance through QBCC. Statutory structural cover plus our own snag-list response.

In our customers' words

Common questions

Things you'll want to know early.

A new custom home typically takes 6 to 12 months from site start to handover, depending on complexity, weather and trade availability. Pole homes and sloping-block builds tend to sit at the longer end because the engineering and footings stages take more time. Extensions usually run 3 to 6 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline at quote · not an optimistic one.
Most likely yes · this is what the company was built around. We've worked across the Brisbane outer south, Logan and the Gold Coast hinterland on blocks volume builders refused to quote. The first step is a site walk and a read on the engineering · we'll tell you straight if it's workable, and if it isn't, we'll tell you why.
Custom builds are quoted to the brief · there's no display price because there's no display home. Most of our recent work sits in the upper-mid to high-end range typical of the SEQ custom-build market. We use the standard QBCC residential contract with stage payments and itemised allowances · so you'll see exactly what you're paying for and where flexibility lives.
Yes. Maddison Constructions Pty Ltd holds QBCC licence #1190067 · Builder · Low Rise. We're a member of Master Builders Queensland. Every domestic build over $3,300 is covered by Domestic Building Insurance through the QBCC scheme. Our QBCC licence is current; you can search it any time at the QBCC online register.
You'll work with Ben directly · he runs the site walks, the contract conversations, and the project itself. The Maddison team · Ben, Jo, Dave, John, Luke and the rest · are the same people from quote to handover. There's no account-manager hand-off after deposit.
Yes · a meaningful share of our work is architect-led. We're the licensed builder partner: we coordinate trades, handle the engineering and council, and execute the design. Architects who've worked with us before can attest to the relationship · we'll send a capability statement on request.
