Ausbuild Reviews: What Investors Should Know (2026)

New house under construction

Quick answer: Ausbuild is a Brisbane-based builder and developer established in 1988, building house and land packages in its own south-east Queensland communities. It promises no price increases on the cost of your build under its price lock, offers a fixed build time on eligible packages, and arranges finance through Funding Firm. Its ProductReview.com.au listing showed 3.7 out of 5 from 52 reviews when we checked.

Ausbuild sells land and homes together in its own estates. This Ausbuild review covers the company, its guarantees and their exclusions, how its packages are sold, its review ratings and what to check before you sign.

 

Who Is Ausbuild?

According to the Australian Business Register (ABR) and its website:

  • Its website footer names Ausbuild Pty Ltd (ABN 76 464 427 582)
  • Its offer pages quote ACN 010 138 860 and its build time terms quote ACN 142 375 184. We couldn’t match either number to Ausbuild Pty Ltd on the ABR, so confirm which company signs your contract
  • Its website shows QBCC licence 21710
  • Its head office is at 190 Dunhill Crescent, Morningside
  • It was established in 1988 by Ron Loney and Graham Bell and says it has built more than 10,000 homes

Ausbuild in Queensland is not connected to similarly named businesses in other states, such as Ausbuild South Australia or AusBuild Inspections. Check the ABN and ACN on your contract.

 

Where Ausbuild Builds

Ausbuild says it has built in more than 99 residential communities across south-east Queensland. When we checked, it listed nine current communities, including Burpengary, Doolandella, Morayfield, South Ripley and Warner.

 

Ausbuild House and Land Packages and Guarantees

Ausbuild says it offers 60 single and double-storey designs in its Everyday Living range. We couldn’t verify prices online, so ask for a written quote.

For investors, it offers Tenant Ready house and land packages and the Onyx Terraces townhouses in Carina.

Ausbuild promotes these guarantees, all with conditions:

  • Price lock: “0% price increases on the cost of your build. EVER.”, covering the façade, standard inclusions, retaining walls and fencing under a signed HIA contract. It excludes land not supplied by Ausbuild, post-contract upgrades, delays caused by the buyer and prime cost and provisional sums
  • Fixed build time: completion within the building period except for claimable delays, excluding land not supplied by Ausbuild and Tenant Ready packages. No compensation amount is stated
  • Warranty: a one-year live-in warranty plus the Queensland home warranty

Tenant Ready packages, the ones aimed at investors, are excluded from the fixed build time. Ask what timeframe applies to them.

 

How Ausbuild Packages Are Sold

Ausbuild sells its own land and homes. Credit services are provided by Funding Firm Pty Ltd under Australian Finance Group’s credit licence, and its Deposit Assist offer requires buying Ausbuild land and an Ausbuild home and using an Ausbuild Funding Firm broker. Its website also has an agent access area. Ask whether any agent or broker involved in your purchase is paid by Ausbuild.

What it means for you: when a package is sold through a marketer or investment group, that seller is commonly paid a commission by the builder or developer. That commission is part of the package price, whether or not it’s shown on the contract. Builder commissions can run into tens of thousands of dollars. Here’s how hidden commissions in house and land packages work.
