Avia is young, fast-growing and investor-focused, so the questions that matter most are about the contract, the turnkey scope and how the package price is put together. This Avia Homes review covers the builder, its review ratings, and what to check before you sign.
Who Is Avia Homes?
Avia Homes (styled AVIA Homes) is based at Windmill Street, Southport, on the Gold Coast. Business News Australia reports it was founded in 2022 by Managing Director Tom Egan. According to Avia’s website and that coverage:
- It builds in South East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, and has stated plans to expand
- It displays QBCC licence number 15318441 on its website
- It claims more than 1,130 completed homes, a figure it says draws on more than 30 years of combined team experience
- Business News Australia reported about 80 head-office staff and sales of $170 million in FY25
- It runs a separate consumer brand, DARE Homes, while Avia focuses on developer and corporate projects
Named projects on its website include Sakura townhouses, Lilywood Terraces and Amory Terraces.
Avia Homes House and Land Packages and Inclusions
Avia lists more than 40 single and double storey designs for lots from 8 to 15 metres wide. Its website says it offers fixed-price contracts with “no hidden costs”, and that its turnkey homes include landscaping, driveway, blinds and flyscreens.
It publishes three inclusion tiers:
- Volos: the base turnkey level, including stone benchtops, an induction cooktop and heat-pump hot water
- Messina: listed at “+$30,000”, adding higher ceilings, ducted air conditioning and upgraded appliances
- Portobello: a further “+$30,000”, with higher ceilings again and square-set finishes in the main living areas
Avia doesn’t publish base prices on its website. Its house and land packages are offered “through collaboration with trusted developers”, so the price you see will usually come from the estate, a sales agent or an investment marketer.
How Avia Homes Packages Are Usually Sold
Avia has an investment properties section on its website and, according to Business News Australia, the Avia brand focuses on developer and corporate projects. We found no public list of the marketing groups that sell its homes.
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.

Pros and Cons of Avia Homes
Strengths (based on Avia’s materials and reviews):
- Turnkey homes with published inclusion tiers
- Fixed-price contracts promoted
- Strong review ratings so far
- Designs for narrow lots from 8 metres
What to weigh up:
- A young company, founded in 2022, so its track record is short
- No base prices or warranty periods published on its website
- Inclusion upgrades are priced in $30,000 steps, so check which tier your package includes
- Packages may be sold through third parties, so the price may include a commission
Questions to Ask Before You Sign an Avia Homes Package
- Who is selling me this package, and are they paid a commission by the builder or developer? How much?
- Which entity signs the build contract, Avia or DARE, and is its QBCC licence current?
- Which inclusion tier is in my package, and can I see the full inclusions schedule?
- Is the price fully fixed? Which special conditions allow it to change?
- What are the land price and the build price, separately, and what have comparable homes in the estate sold for?
- What is the contract build period, and what happens if it runs late?
- What warranty and maintenance period applies, and can I see the home warranty insurance certificate?
- Can I inspect a completed Avia home in the same estate?
