About

At Keogh Custom Building, we create bespoke homes, renovations and extensions throughout South Gippsland and the Bass Coast.

We believe successful projects are built on more than quality workmanship alone. They require clear communication, thoughtful planning and a team of skilled professionals who genuinely care about the outcome.

Whether we're delivering a custom home, a transformative renovation or a complex extension, our goal is always the same: to create exceptional spaces while making the building experience as straightforward and enjoyable as possible.

Our director, Chris Keogh, has spent more than a decade working in residential construction. Beginning his career with a builder specialising exclusively in architectural renovations and extensions across Melbourne, he developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, problem-solving and attention to detail required to deliver highly customised projects.

Five years ago, Chris and his family made the move to South Gippsland to build a life in the region they now proudly call home.

Since then, Keogh Custom Building has grown from a sole operator carpentry business into a close-knit team of skilled carpenters and apprentices, built around a shared commitment to quality, professionalism and continuous improvement.

We are particularly passionate about projects that require careful thought and expertise. From architecturally designed homes to substantial renovations and extensions, we enjoy the challenge of blending creativity with practical construction knowledge to bring our clients' vision to life.

Our approach

A key part of our approach is communication. We understand that building or renovating can feel overwhelming, particularly for clients who may only undertake a project of this scale once in their lifetime. That's why we place a strong emphasis on keeping our clients informed and supported throughout the process. Through regular updates, open communication and clear expectations, we ensure our clients always know where their project stands and what comes next.

We also believe exceptional results come from exceptional people. Our team is carefully trained to uphold the same standards across every project, with a strong focus on craftsmanship, attention to detail and pride in workmanship. Many of our team members have completed their apprenticeships within the business, ensuring the values and standards that define Keogh Custom Building are carried through every aspect of our work.

Today, we continue to focus on delivering high-quality custom homes, renovations and extensions for clients who value expertise, communication and a personalised building experience. By intentionally limiting the number of projects we undertake, we can remain closely involved in every build and provide the level of service and attention our clients deserve.
