We only build one kind of thing.

MeDu builds shed homes on rural and acreage land right across South Australia. Not townhouses, not estate lots, not knockdown rebuilds in the suburbs. One building type, done properly, on the sort of block most builders quietly decline.

[YEAR FOUNDED] — today

Started because the quotes kept stopping at the front gate.

[FOUNDER STORY TO BE WRITTEN. A short, specific origin — the block, the problem, the first build. Two or three paragraphs. Name the founder, name the region, and be concrete: this is the paragraph people actually read.]

[SECOND PARAGRAPH — what changed, what you learned, why the business looks the way it does now.]

How we work

Four things we hold to.

01

The price is on the website

If we can't tell you roughly what something costs without a meeting, we don't understand our own product well enough.

02

Site first, plan second

Falling in love with a floor plan before you know what the block costs is the single most common way an acreage build goes wrong.

03

Fixed means fixed

Variations happen when you ask for them. Latent conditions are the only other exception, and they're defined in the contract.

04

We'll tell you not to

Sometimes converting the existing shed is a bad idea. Sometimes the block isn't worth building on. We'd rather lose the job than be the builder who didn't say so.

The team

Who you'll actually deal with.

One point of contact from the site visit to handover. Not a sales consultant who hands you to a client liaison who hands you to a site supervisor.

James Packer

Director & licensed builder

James runs every build from the first walk of the block through to handover. He prices your site, signs the contract and is there when the frame goes up — so the person who quoted you is the person you deal with when something needs deciding. Licence [LICENCE NUMBER].

Kayla Bull

Design

Kayla turns a shell into your house. She'll move walls until the plan fits how you actually live, and prices each change as she draws it — so the budget moves in front of you, not behind you.

Martin Zwarts

Site & approvals

Martin handles the part that stalls most acreage builds: soil classification, bushfire assessment, on-site wastewater and the council lodgement. He knows which SA councils move quickly and which ones need chasing.

Kristen Zwarts

Client liaison

Kristen is who you'll hear from between site visits — updates while you're under construction, and a straight answer when the answer is "not yet". Every enquiry through this site lands with her first.

Coverage

All of South Australia.

Not a radius around Adelaide — the whole state. We build across the Adelaide Hills, the Fleurieu, the Barossa and Clare valleys, the Murraylands and Riverland, the Mid North, both the Yorke and Eyre peninsulas, the Limestone Coast and the far north.

Regional South Australia is most of our work, not the exception to it. If a concrete truck can reach your block, we'll come and look at it.

Interstate?

Send it through anyway. Freight, travel and subcontractor availability change the numbers, so we'd rather tell you in a day whether it stacks up than waste a month of yours.

Next step

Come and stand on the block with us.

It's the fastest way to find out whether this is going to work — for both of us.
