Pacific Palms Home Builder
Building a new home is an opportunity to create something that genuinely suits your lifestyle. At Dowdy Constructions, we help locals bring those ideas to life with custom home builds that reflect the way they want to live—whether that means extra room for the family, better flow from indoor to outdoor, or something designed to make the most of a bush or coastal setting. With over 25 years of experience, we’re proud to work closely with clients from start to finish, offering clear advice, flexible options and quality workmanship every step of the way.
We know every block, budget and brief is different, which is why we take the time to understand what matters most. With fixed price quoting and contract options to suit the scope of your build, we make it easier to move forward with confidence. Call your local home builder on

Navigating Design & Approval
One of the trickiest parts of building in Pacific Palms is getting from the idea stage to the first shovel in the ground. Site constraints, design complexity and local planning rules all play a part in how a new build moves forward. That’s why we help clients navigate the early phases—working through design options, recommending suitable consultants, and making sure the proposed layout works for the block and local conditions. If engineering, bushfire assessments or environmental reports are required, we can help coordinate them as part of the pre-build phase.

This groundwork not only avoids delays—it also helps reduce variation costs later on by identifying issues upfront. We focus on building strong communication early, so everyone is on the same page well before construction begins. When you work with us in Pacific Palms, you’ll feel supported through the planning process, not left to figure it out on your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s involved in removing internal walls during a renovation?
Removing internal walls can open up a space significantly, but it often involves structural considerations. Load-bearing walls support parts of the home above and can't be removed without installing a replacement support beam—typically engineered steel or timber. A structural engineer may be required to assess and certify the changes. Electrical, plumbing and insulation inside the wall also need to be relocated or safely terminated, all of which adds to the planning and cost.
How do I decide which areas of my home to renovate first?
It helps to focus on areas you use most often or those causing the most frustration—like cramped kitchens, poorly laid-out bathrooms or dark living spaces. If you're planning a larger renovation in stages, start with any areas that involve structural work or services like plumbing and wiring, as these can affect adjacent spaces later. Prioritising by impact and efficiency often leads to the most noticeable improvements early on.
Can I live at home while renovations are being done?
Depending on the scale of the renovation, it’s often possible to live on-site during the work. For single-room projects or staged renovations, disruption can be minimised with good planning. However, expect some noise, dust and limited access to certain areas during construction. For major works that affect bathrooms, kitchens or bedrooms, it may be worth arranging short-term alternative accommodation for part of the build to maintain comfort and safety
What issues are common in older homes during renovations?
Renovating older homes can uncover unexpected issues such as outdated wiring, deteriorated plumbing, uneven floors or asbestos. These aren’t always visible during initial inspections and may only become apparent once demolition begins. Having contingency room in your budget can help manage these surprises. Working with a builder experienced in renovations is key—they’ll know what signs to look for early and how to plan for necessary adjustments.
