Luxury homes designed and built for the Peninsula.
Every custom home we build is shaped by the unique environment of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Homes here demand local knowledge and technical precision to thrive in coastal conditions, manage sloping sites and adapt to diverse soil types such as sand, clay and limestone, while capturing the beauty of their surroundings.
Each home we design embraces passive and sustainable principles to create a luxury home that performs naturally, withstands local conditions and feels comfortable year-round.

Here are some of the answers you might be looking for.
What are the total costs involved in building a custom home?
Kleinig Constructions provides an upfront, transparent budget before any work begins. You’ll receive a detailed cost breakdown covering design, site preparation, progress payments and inclusions.
Because every home is custom, all projected costs will be accounted for in the initial contract, any potential variations are discussed and approved before work proceeds.
How do I find suitable land on the Fleurieu Peninsula?
When choosing land, it is important to consider orientation, slope, soil type and access.
Coastal areas often require specific foundation systems and may need retaining walls or drainage solutions. A soil test helps determine what kind of footings or slabs will be required.
Kleinig Constructions guides clients through these early stages, ensuring each block is suitable for the intended design and built to handle local conditions.
Can a builder create a fully custom design?
Some builders work from standard or semi-custom plans, while others specialise in completely bespoke designs.
A fully custom design allows your home to reflect your lifestyle, site and aesthetic preferences.
Kleinig Constructions focuses exclusively on custom builds, collaborating closely with clients, architects and designers to create homes that are truly one of a kind.
Can I view past projects to see the builder’s experience?
Reputable builders should be able to show completed homes or case studies that demonstrate their craftsmanship and attention to detail. This helps you understand their experience with different styles, sites and materials.
You can access Kleinig Constructions completed and in-construction projects on our Portfolio page, or follow us on Instagram here.
What is the expected timeline for a custom build?
Timelines can range from 9 to 18 months depending on design complexity, size, approvals and site conditions. Factors such as weather, material supply or design changes can affect the schedule.
Kleinig Constructions provides a clear timeline before work begins and keeps clients informed through regular progress updates at every stage.
Are there unique challenges to building on the Fleurieu Peninsula?
Yes. The region’s soil types, sloping blocks, weather patterns and proximity to the coast require careful design and engineering. Builders need to understand how to manage wind exposure, salt air and drainage across varying terrain.
Kleinig Constructions local experience ensures every home is designed to perform beautifully in the Peninsula’s coastal environment, using materials and methods that stand the test of time.
How flexible is the design process?
Flexibility varies between builders. Some offer fixed plans with limited changes, while others provide full design freedom. A collaborative process ensures your home reflects your lifestyle and priorities.
Kleinig Constructions takes a personalised approach, encouraging client input and refining each design until it feels perfectly suited to both the site and the way you live.
