We are passionate about the wellbeing of our clients.
Our goal is to create healthier homes that allow people to live well.
Purcell Homes is an owner-operated company based in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, Queensland, with extensive experience across a wide range of projects – from high-performance passive homes to architecturally designed renovations and extensions.
With a genuine passion for sustainability, Purcell Homes is committed to incorporating environmentally friendly building practices. After completing the Certified Passivhaus Tradesperson training and consistently continuing our learning on healthy building materials, the team aim to use sustainable methods and materials wherever possible, often sourcing recycled or ethically produced products to offer an alternative to traditional materials.
Building architecturally designed homes and extensions on challenging blocks is always an exciting opportunity. The focus is on implementing new and innovative construction techniques to create solutions that are both functional and visually striking.
We use environmentally friendly building methods and materials, creating healthy homes that respect the planet.
We embrace new techniques like Passivhaus design and advanced building solutions to create smarter homes.
Every project, from small extensions to architecturally designed homes, is built with care and attention to detail.
We believe in open, honest communication with our clients from first contact to completion.
We aim to make every build a positive experience for you.
We take the time to understand your vision and work with you to make it a reality.
At Purcell Homes, we turn your dream into reality with our skilled team of sustainable home builders. Whilst building or renovating can be both exciting and daunting, our commitment as dedicated sustainable builders on the Gold Coast, Qld is to make the process enjoyable and stress-free. Our team will stand by you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless and satisfying new home build or renovation experience.
You don’t need to have plans drawn before contacting us. If you already do have plans, send them through and we can work with them. If not, we can guide you from the very beginning and even connect you with trusted architects or designers to help create your dream home.
Passivhaus (Passive House) is a building standard that creates highly energy-efficient homes using airtight construction and mechanical ventilation, among other things. Passivhaus building methods create homes with more stable indoor temperatures, filtered fresh air, and long-term affordability. It’s one of the leading models for sustainable living.

Every project is different, and timing depends on the scope, selections, approvals and our current workload. Smaller renovations, such as bathrooms, may be ready to commence within 4-6 weeks once selections are finalised. New homes and larger extensions typically require more time for design, planning and approvals, with construction potentially commencing around 4-6 months from the start of the process.
We’ll talk you through the likely timeframe for your project and keep you informed as it progresses.
We encourage you to make as many decisions as possible before construction begins. This helps keep your project moving smoothly and minimises unexpected costs or delays. That said, we understand that sometimes a change makes sense once you see your home taking shape, or new inspiration strikes!
Variations can be accommodated where practical, but they must be discussed and approved in writing before any work proceeds. Depending on the change, additional costs and labour may apply. We’ll explain the implications before proceeding so you can make an informed decision.
We believe good communication makes for a better building experience. At the beginning of your project, we’ll provide a project schedule and key expectations around key milestones. Throughout construction, we’ll keep you updated on progress, upcoming decisions and anything that may affect your project.
We aim to provide regular weekly updates and will communicate changes, potential delays or issues as soon as we’re aware of them.
Progress payments are made at agreed stages of construction, as key milestones are completed. For example, payments may be due following completion of the slab, frame, and other major stages of the build.
We’ll provide a payment schedule so you know what to expect along the way.
Safety is a priority on every Purcell Homes site, for our team, our subcontractors and for your family.
Site access is managed by our team, with appropriate measures in place to keep construction areas separate from living spaces where required. We maintain an organised site, with tools and materials stored safely and construction areas kept clean and contained.
We expect professional and respectful behaviour from everyone working on our sites. Smoking and inappropriate language are not permitted. We aim to maintain a safe, respectful environment for our clients, their families, and our team.
