Our home base. A boutique custom home builder for new builds, knockdown rebuilds and bespoke residences in Box Hill 2765.
Box Hill— the boutique builder's view
Box Hill is where Macan Group lives and builds. It's one of the most active release areas in the North-West Sydney Growth Corridor — a mix of large new estates, established acreage, and pockets of older housing being rebuilt for the next generation of families. Whether you've just bought a level block in a new release or you're knocking down and rebuilding on a deeper parcel, this is the suburb we know best.

Why Box Hill works for a custom home
Growth corridor with room to design
Box Hill sits in the Wianamatta-South Creek growth area, with substantial release sites and a mix of block sizes from compact townhouse parcels to acreage. That variety means there's room for genuinely bespoke design — homes that suit the block rather than a project-home template stretched to fit.
Infrastructure catching up to demand
Box Hill is being progressively serviced with new schools, retail centres and arterial road upgrades. For homeowners, that means the suburb is on a long-term value trajectory — a custom home built well here is an asset that grows with the area.
A community we know personally
Because we're based here, we know the local trade base, the suppliers, the council planners and the soil. That local knowledge shows up in faster decisions, fewer surprises during construction, and a build process that respects the realities of building in 2765.
What to plan for in Box Hill
Every suburb has its own quirks — soil, services, streetscape, council. We surface these in early design so they don't become surprises during construction.
Soil and site classification
Box Hill sits on Wianamatta shale and clay across much of its footprint, which typically classifies as M or H sites under AS 2870. Reactive-clay sites need engineered footings — usually waffle pods or piered slabs — and a quality builder will commission a geotechnical report before quoting fixed-price.
Stormwater and drainage
Newer releases generally have well-planned drainage, but lots near low points or natural watercourses can require detention tanks or overland flow paths. We work this into the design early so it doesn't become a costly surprise during DA review.
Setbacks and built form controls
Hills Shire's DCP sets front, side and rear setbacks that vary by lot type and zoning. New-release estates often add design covenants on top — roof pitch, materials, articulation — which a custom design needs to satisfy without becoming generic.
The Hills Shire Council
The Hills Shire Council manages Box Hill development. Most new builds proceed via a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) where the design meets the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) — the fastest path to approval. Custom designs that step outside CDC parameters go through a Development Application (DA), which typically adds 2–4 months to the approval timeline. We assess which path your design qualifies for during early planning.
If you're building in Box Hill, you want a builder who's already done it — and who'll still be answering their phone 7 years from now when a warranty question comes up. That's us.
