This is my partners and I first time building a home, and we’ve been nothing but pleased and impressed with our representative and the team at Locale Homes.
Our representative, Tayla Juratovac, has been so supportive and knowledgeable. Any concerns weve had along the way have been promptly addressed, and any info and advice we needed was always provided in the best possible way. We were expecting it to be a big tedious daunting process, but so far its been great, having Tayla and the team at Locale to guide us through has taken all the stress and worry out of it.
Looking forward to navigating the rest of the build with Tayla and Locale, and cant wait to see the end result. I think we`re in good hands.
★★★★★
Monique from locale homes is super helpful & detailed about your house and land packages !
Our transition was much smoother using her to break down everything and to have a clear plan as we didn’t know where to start.Highly recommend the locale homes group & Monique Juratovac if anybody is looking to build a house.
★★★★★
I cannot recommend Audris at Locale Homes highly enough! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly friendly and approachable, making what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and manageable.
She went above and beyond to help me secure the perfect piece of land, but more importantly, she gave me the confidence I needed to actually start my building journey. I am so grateful for her expertise and genuine care.
★★★★★
Thanks to Kristen and the team for finding me the perfect block of land and organising everything from working with developers and builders to finding the perfect house plan. The whole process has been fantastic, they always answer every question, keep me in the loop with updates and I would be so lost without all their work. Highly recommend Locale Homes.
★★★★★
I can’t recommend Josh Beardsall at Locale Homes enough. His help and guidance in choosing and securing the perfect block of land for my new home was amazing.

So stoked. Thanks Shea and team.

I had the opportunity of meeting Brett last year. Even when we fell short financially, he never gave up and always looked for ways to make it work for us. He kept in touch from time to time until the day came when he found something that makes home ownership possible for us. We are very thankful for his dedication and guidance that we are now able to enter the property market and have secured a nice block of land that falls within our budget. He also helped us find a great builder with nice house designs. I highly recommend Brett and Ankit of Locale Homes to anyone who is planning to build a house. They will surely guide you well to achieve your goals of home ownership. Thank you that we have started our home ownership journey with you guys.
Got questions? We’ve got answers
Choosing to work with Locale Homes means you’ll have a property partner in your corner every step of the way. Advocating for you. We’ll take the time to understand your unique needs, so we can help guide you toward the perfect place for you, not what’s best for anyone else.
There are numerous factors to consider when building your dream home, such as design, land utilisation, and inclusions and our primary aim is to simplify the entire process, making it stress-free and easy. We’ll tell you everything you need to hear so you feel empowered to make the right decision.
Leveraging our industry experience, we also work on your behalf to negotiate the best deal.
Going straight to a builder often means you’re only seeing one option. Their homes, their pricing, their terms.
A building broker works differently. We act as your advocate, comparing multiple builders and designs to help you find the best fit for your needs, goals, and budget.
Here’s why people choose a broker over going it alone:
-
More choice: We compare a wide range of builders and floorplans — not just one catalogue.
- Peace of mind: Rely on the people in the know, who have vetted builders and selected those who will deliver.
-
Impartial advice: We’re not tied to any one builder, so our guidance is genuinely in your best interest.
-
Better deals: With insider industry knowledge, we can negotiate inclusions, price holds, build times and more.
-
Clarity and confidence: We explain contracts, flag hidden costs, and break down the fine print so nothing catches you off guard.
-
Ongoing support: From land sourcing to key handover, we’re by your side the whole way. We’re your property partner for life, after all.
Put simply: you get more value, less stress, and a better build experience when you have an expert in your corner.

We may look shiny and new, but we’re backed by industry-leading talent who have navigated the industry’s highs and lows, all while maintaining a customer-centric approach.
With decades of experience, we are in partnership with some of the industry’s biggest names. Why does this matter? It gives us the ability to connect you with the perfect home, land, and finance options at competitive prices, with no extra fees.
Our founder, Adam Schaal, started Locale Homes with one simple premise in mind. It was that West Australians deserved a better property buying experience – one that’s focused on the customer’s needs and aspirations, not those of big corporations.
With over 10+ years in the building industry, in successful Executive Leadership positions, Adam Schaal brings a strong understanding of the industry’s intricacies, customers’ needs, and pain points, and how these can be effectively addressed in an industry that is ready for disruption.
His commitment to customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do, and we will always go the extra mile to ensure that you have a hassle-free and enjoyable experience.
Yes, we work with all land developers, from the largest in Australia to smaller, boutique developments.
Our reputation in the industry has given us unparalleled access to a wide range of land estates. This allows us to offer our customers an extensive selection of land options that are tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Additionally, as we work for you, we are here to advocate for the best lot of land and contract terms.
In a way, yes – you could consider us to be a building broker platform with a finance arm. However, there’s a significant difference between Locale Homes and other building brokers out there. We’re proud to bring a level of scale and sophistication to the West Australian market (and eventually nationwide) that is unparalleled in the industry.
One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our ability to seamlessly integrate with builders using best-in-class processes, our dedicated support teams, and our ongoing investment in technology platforms. This means that we’re able to align with different builders’ processes and offer you a streamlined, hassle-free experience. You’ll have a singular point of contact throughout the entire buying journey, from attaining finance, selecting your land, to building your dream home. No need to worry about the confusion that comes when dealing with multiple people.
You can rest assured knowing that we will be by your side, offering guidance through the decision-making process and helping you steer clear of any costly mistakes.
No, it doesn’t cost you a cent more.
Building brokers, like us, are paid by the builder – the same way a sales rep working at a builder would be. The difference? We work for you, not them.
Instead of pushing one builder’s product, we compare a panel of trusted builders who have been handpicked for their quality, reliability, and customer care. We constantly review this panel to ensure they’re still delivering on time, to standard, and without overpromising and taking on too much work (because this will hurt your build experience in the long run).
So while the builder pays us, our loyalty is to you.
Building a new home involves a lot of moving parts: from finding land and choosing a design, to comparing builders, understanding contracts, and managing costs. For most buyers, it’s unfamiliar territory.
A building broker helps you make sense of it all.
Just like a mortgage broker compares lenders, a building broker compares builders, helping you navigate the process with less stress and better outcomes.
People choose to work with a building broker because they want:
-
Independent advice – not recommendations based on a builder’s bottom line.
-
More builder and design choices – without having to shop around or be stuck with what one builder has on offer.
-
Clarity on pricing and inclusions – including hidden costs that might catch you off guard.
-
Guidance on timelines, contracts and the process – transparent and explained in plain language.
- Support from start to finish – from planning to key handover.
It’s about saving time, money, and hassle, while gaining confidence in your decisions.
Your new home journey deserves a better buying experience.
