Soil conditions vary from suburb to suburb, and block slopes can differ. Council requirements can vary as well. When you build on the Sunshine Coast, it helps to have a team that understands how the area works. Our regional specialists know these details inside out, so you never feel like you’re navigating the process alone. They’ll help you choose a home design that suits your land, your goals and the way you want to live.

Visiting display homes in Sunshine Coast is the easiest way to picture how your family could live in a Clarendon home. You can walk through real kitchens, explore finishes up close and get a feel for how each room flows, from one space to the next.

While some home builders in Sunshine Coast heavily rely on awards and broad claims, we focus on genuine support, clear communication and helping you make informed choices that suit your lifestyle.
Every Clarendon home design is created to perform well in subtropical climates. Whether building close to the coastline or further inland, our designs consider airflow, rain protection and durability. Customers can explore a wide range of single storey and double storey designs, each adaptable for local requirements and block conditions.
Single storey homes remain a popular choice on the Sunshine Coast due to their low-maintenance structure and suitability for varied block slopes. Clarendon offers a wide selection of single storey designs that feel spacious, easy to move through and naturally connected to outdoor living.
If your block is narrower or you want to take advantage of breezes and elevated views, a double storey design can give you the extra space you need without reducing your backyard. This is especially helpful in newer Sunshine Coast estates, where coastal blocks can be more compact and vertical living makes everyday life feel more spacious.
Clarendon offers several double storey ranges that work beautifully on modest-width blocks:
