Legacy Building is a bespoke residential building company in Western Australia, delivering custom, high-end homes from pre-construction through to handover. Founder and Director Matt Gerber has over 20 years of industry experience and leads each project with a focus on planning, workmanship, and detail.

We work closely with clients to create one-of-a-kind homes that are designed with intent, built with precision, and delivered with confidence.

Bespoke building is a structured, highly tailored approach to delivering a home that is designed around the client, the site, and the way the home will be lived in.

At Legacy Building, we specialise in custom, high-end homes where planning, documentation, and execution matter. We work closely with clients from the early design phase, developing the design and documentation in-house to ensure the project is fully coordinated and buildable before construction begins. From there, we manage the full construction process through to handover.

A bespoke build requires clear decisions, accurate allowances, and disciplined coordination. Our role is to keep the process organised, maintain standards on site, and deliver a finished home that feels considered in every detail and performs for the long term.

Our primary objective is to assist our Clients in formulating their visions and accomplishing their goals. Our meticulous, step-by-step process is designed to guide Clients seamlessly from the initial stages of conceiving their new space to the final handover stage. We aim to establish a structured approach that ensures the construction process aligns with the Client's vision and expectations without any obstacles while providing them an enjoyable and memorable experience.
