New house designs in the ACT, ready for life’s next chapter

Whether you’re building in Gungahlin, Weston Creek or Woden, our homes are shaped by the way you live. Picture morning light spilling through open-plan kitchens, cosy nooks for study or reading, and alfresco areas that flow easily from the heart of the home. It’s more than just a layout. It’s about how each space supports your day-to-day.

Every floorplan in our latest ACT home designs balances comfort, function and flexibility. From single-storey homes for smaller lots to generous two-storey layouts with space to grow, each design offers something unique. Need a butler’s pantry for weekend entertaining? A home office tucked away from the noise? Or a kids’ wing that keeps things calm after school? We’ll help make it happen.

Our new builds in ACT are more than just modern—they’re practical, light-filled and built for connection. Whether you’re building your first home or planning your forever place, you’ll find a layout that supports how you want to live now and in the years ahead.

Start fresh with support from day one

With decades of national experience and a dedicated team of new home builders in the ACT, you’ll feel supported from the very beginning. Our local team understands council requirements, sloping blocks and everything in between—so you can move from inspiration to construction with confidence.

FAQs

  • What types of new house designs do you offer in the ACT?

    We offer a range of house types, including single-storey, double-storey, small lot, knockdown rebuild, and split-level homes. A new house built in the ACT makes the most of light, space, and liveability. Whether you’re after something compact or sprawling, we’ve got plans to suit.

  • Can I customise one of your ACT home designs?

    Absolutely. Every home we build can be customised to suit your block, lifestyle and preferences. From moving walls to adding alfresco areas, your New Home Consultant will help you tailor the design to fit just right.

  • How much is it to build a new house in the ACT?

    The new house build cost in the ACT can vary based on things like block conditions, chosen design, level of customisation, and finishes—but we’ll walk you through it. Our New Home Consultants offer personalised quotes and transparent pricing, so you can plan your new house build in the ACT with confidence from day one.

  • Do your homes work with Canberra’s climate?

    Yes—we focus on smart orientation, insulation and ventilation to help your home stay comfortable through Canberra’s distinct four seasons. As Australia’s coldest capital city, thoughtful design is especially important in winter. Our designs make the most of natural heating and cooling strategies wherever possible, helping you stay cosy in the colder months and cool in summer without driving up your energy bills.

  • I’ve picked my design. How do I get started with the build?

    It all begins with a conversation. One of our New Homes Consultants will walk you through the next steps—from understanding your block to finalising finishes and inclusions. We’ll talk pricing, explore your options, and help shape a plan that suits your lifestyle and budget. When you build a new house in the ACT with G.J. Gardner, you’ll get clear guidance, personalised support, and a team that’s with you from first sketch to final handover. Contact us today!
