The Rome story is carved across five decades and three generations of builders, each passing down a legacy of passion and customer focus.
Headquartered on the Gold Coast, Rome is a family business with a focus on community. Our values are unwavering, hammered in trust, respect and consideration. Our time spent in business together has afforded us a rhythm of dedication not only to our clients but to each other. And that allows us to work in sync, achieving more and overcoming hurdles with speed and precision.
Over the years, our dedication to excellence in every detail has resulted in a broad portfolio of architecturally brilliant builds stretching from Northern New South Wales to North Brisbane. Most importantly, it’s resulted in endlessly happy homeowners. Strong homes and strong relationships are the two things we do best.

A house should be somewhere we return to and find our balance no matter the stresses of the outside world. This ethos of balance is something we carry through all that we do. Form and function, design and substance, cost and quality. We approach each project with a balanced perspective, weighing each side of the situation as we evaluate, strategise and plan. This ensures we deliver exceptional craftsmanship and build homes that are a harmonious blend of beauty and practicality.
After getting to know our clients, we begin curating a vision that blends luxury, functionality, and artistry—a distinct vision where tradition meets innovation. The result? Homes that stand out for all the right reasons. Our builds are living works of art, meticulously designed and crafted to showcase a unique sophistication. Are you ready to live boldly? We’re here to build you an iconic and timeless home that celebrates your family’s values.
Our team is determined to explore the untrodden path, ask genuine questions and embrace change. This resolve means we reach the best solutions and find guidance in educated risks. Our relentless pursuit of perfection drives us to continuously push boundaries and set new standards for luxury residential construction. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we’re driven to achieve your goals to a standard that exceeds all expectations.
We approach each build with open arms and all our cards on the table. Our genuine commitment to our clients and their dreams is how we’ve earned an impeccable reputation in the industry. We’ll work collaboratively with you to ensure the journey of building your new home is simple and free from the high-stress that new home builds are renowned for. When you sign up for a home built by Rome, you know your utmost peace of mind is our priority every step of the way. Partner with us, and you’re welcomed into a client relationship that’s completely genuine and built on foundations of trust and transparency.
With three generations of builders in our business, Rome is rooted in family values and five decades of craftsmanship. We’re constantly refining our artistry and feel proud of how far our family has come. Our dedication to quality continues to be distilled through every build we embark upon. Consequently, Rome’s portfolio is a treasure trove of time-tested structures that hold a deep understanding of South East Queensland's architectural requirements. Your home will become part of our heritage, but its story will be yours to unfold.
Rome has been humbled by a host of accolades, each reflecting our unwavering dedication to excellence. These awards don’t just stand as a testament to our commitment; they stand as proof our clients entrusted us to make bold, brave decisions. And for that, we are eternally grateful.
