Our story

At Michael Limb Builders, we believe great homes start with genuine relationships. Founded with a vision to create high-quality, sustainable homes that stand the test of time, our business has grown from a small local operation into a trusted name in custom residential building across the Bellarine Peninsula, the Greater Geelong region, and beyond.

We’re passionate about craftsmanship, transparency, and building with purpose. Our team works closely with each client to bring their unique vision to life, whether it’s a new custom build, a modern extension, or a high-performance home.

While the quality of our work speaks for itself, it’s our people-first approach that sets us apart. We're proud to maintain a strong team culture, supporting work-life balance and a deep respect for our clients, trades, and the environment.

Michael Limb Builders isn’t just about building homes, it’s about building lasting connections, and leaving a legacy of thoughtful, sustainable design.

Our Core
Values.

At Michael Limb Builders, our core values are more than just words, they are the foundation of every decision we make and every home we build. These values guide how we work, how we communicate, and how we create homes that reflect integrity, innovation, and care.

Lasting quality

We believe that true quality lies in the details not just what you see, but what you feel for years to come. Our commitment to lasting quality is reflected in everything from the materials we choose to the craftsmanship we deliver. We build homes that are functional, beautiful, and enduring homes that support the lifestyle of today while standing strong for future generations. Every project is approached with the same care and precision we would apply to our own homes.

Sustainable and energy efficient homes

Sustainability is not an afterthought for us; it’s at the heart of what we do. We are deeply committed to building homes that reduce environmental impact while increasing long-term comfort, health, and efficiency for our clients. From material selection and waste minimisation to solar passive design and thermal performance, every detail is considered with sustainability in mind.

We specialise in high performance homes; homes that go beyond minimum standards to deliver outstanding energy efficiency, air quality, and year-round comfort. We are also proud to offer Certified Passive House construction, with a certified Passivhaus tradesperson and designer on our team. This internationally recognised building standard ensures exceptional insulation, airtightness, and mechanical ventilation for homes that are not only incredibly efficient, but also quiet, comfortable, and built to perform over time.

Sustainable and energy-efficient building isn’t just a service we offer; it’s a core value that drives our approach and a passion that influences every project.

Communication

Great homes are built on strong foundations and one of the most important is communication. We take the time to really listen, to understand your goals, and to keep you informed throughout the entire building journey. Whether you’re building a custom home from scratch or adding to an existing one, we provide clarity at every step through regular updates, open dialogue, and genuine collaboration. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, with no surprises, just results you can be proud of.
