Looking for a more affordable way to get your new home underway?
Our Shell Build gets your home constructed to a weathertight, secure and lockable stage, giving you the flexibility to complete the interior yourself or engage your own local builder to finish the job.
We supply the materials to your site and construct the key components of your home, including the foundations, floor, walls, roof, windows and external doors.
Unlike a traditional lightweight timber-frame shell, a QBH Shell Build is much more than just a basic structural frame.
Your home will be:
Fully insulated
Painted internally
Fitted with windows and external doors
Have lighting cables installed
Have skirtings and trims installed
Have the roof and ridge completed
Weathertight and secure
In short, we build your home to a stage where you can lock it up and take over the finishing work.
With a QBH Shell Build, we take care of the major structural and external components of your
home, including:




This means you're not starting with an empty structural frame - you're taking over a substantially completed and weather-tight home.
Once we have completed the Shell Build, you have the flexibility to finish the home yourself or
bring in your own local tradespeople or builder.
This can be a great option if you have the skills, contacts or time to complete the finishing work
yourself and want to have more control over your overall build costs.
You choose how you finish your home.

The customer is responsible for arranging site preparation works, unless QBH has agreed otherwise prior to the build.
This may include site access, earthworks and other site-specific requirements.
QBH will coordinate the delivery and unloading of your kit-set materials, with additional costs potentially applying where unloading exceeds three hours.
We will also coordinate any required council inspections, engineers and surveyors relating to the Shell Build.
The goal of our Shell Build is simple:
Build your home to a secure, weather-tight and lockable stage - then give you the flexibility to take it from there.
Whether you're an experienced DIYer, have your own builder, or simply want more control over the finishing stages of your build, a QBH Shell Build gives you a practical pathway towards owning a brand-new home.
