Why Blackett

Did you know that Blackett Homes has been trusted by Canberra families since 1981? That’s right, we’ve been around for quite some time.

Over the last four decades, we’ve grown from a small company to one of Canberra’s longest standing residential builders, delivering over 3,000 homes to Canberra families just like yours.

We believe this growth can be credited to the quality of our work, our family values and our deep passion for building within the Canberra community. Our expertise is what sets us aside, and we bring over 40 years of local knowledge to every project that we work on.

Our values

As a family-owned and operated business, we hold family values at the core of everything we do. With a high-rate of repeat business and referrals, our customers and suppliers tell us they appreciate these values too. These include:

A transparent approach

Our team will be transparent from our first meeting, right through to handover. This includes being completely open about what’s achievable within your budget and expected building times. We will keep you up to date at all times as changes occur during the build, ensuring you’re informed every step of the way.

Testimonials

But don’t just listen to what we have to say about ourselves, take a look at our past clients have to say about working with us.

"We did extensive research over 12 months into whether an extension and renovation or a knock down rebuild was the best and most cost effective option for us. Blackett was an easy choice as they were able to offer us a very competitive rate, sound advice and support throughout the process and a beautiful new home at the end. We couldn't be happier."

Sarah Page, Barton

"“We liked the fact Blackett Homes is a local Canberra company, which meant we could easily view their work and we could talk to friends who had used them to build previously. Blackett Homes built our home on time and on budget. We were pleasantly surprised to find someone working on our home almost every day during the build.”"

Greg & Ann, Forde

"“Now that we’re in our new home, we wake each day feeling like millionaires. We could not be happier with our decision to build with Blackett Homes and recommend them to anyone without hesitation.”"

James & Sally, Bonner

"“We were offered a very competitive quote, which was backed up by an excellent reputation in the market and clear evidence of sound track-record when doing knockdown rebuilds. It was a pleasure dealing with Blackett Homes at each stage of the build and they made the construction of our home a fantastic experience.”"

Steven & Melinda, Hughes

"Kim, Matt B and Scottie made the whole journey an easy, stress-free and pleasant experience. Blackett Homes has been very professional and accomodating in meeting all my needs and expectations. I am very pleased and happy with the end result and have learned so much about building a house! I would be more than happy to recommend Blackett Homes to anyone looking to build a home."

Colleen, Wright

"We could not be happier with the final product - our new family home - built by Blackett Homes. From the outset, the whole experience has been a really positive partnership to create something special, where nothing was ever a problem."

Lach and Loretta, Curtin
