Grant Hateley, Founder & Director Hateley Construct
Grant Hateley’s fascination with building began in the Strathbogie region, where he was captivated by how things were made and how rooms came together to create spaces for living. That foundation informs the way we build today.
We understand that it’s the details of daily life that shape a home. The morning sun spilling across the kitchen bench, bedrooms filled with natural light, living spaces that frame the sky at dusk.
Each of these moments is considered with intent when we review the design for your new home. They are the decisions that, combined with craft, care and experience, make a Hateley home feel effortless and inspiring to live in.
Every Hateley home begins with understanding what matters most to you – your lifestyle, your priorities and the way you want to live. From there, our preliminary agreement sets out a clear path forward, highlighting opportunities for value, addressing challenges early and keeping budgets transparent.
As your home takes shape, we remain collaborative and adaptable, refining details along the way so the finished result feels seamless and considered. It’s a process built on trust, designed to give you confidence at every stage.

Every home begins with a conversation. Whether it’s a custom residence, a commercial project, or guidance through design and interiors, Hateley Construct offers honesty, clarity and the experience to shape something that truly belongs – to its place, and to you.
Hateley Construct is recognised as one of the leading custom home builders in Northern Victoria, with projects across Nagambie, Seymour, Shepparton, and the wider Goulburn Valley. We also build across the Yarra Valley, including Coldstream, Healesville and Kilmore. We specialise in architectural homes that are designed individually, not from templates, and were awarded Master Builders Victoria Regional Residential Builder of the Year 2025.
The cost of building a custom home in Nagambie, Seymour, or Shepparton depends on the size of the property, level of finishes, and complexity of design. Most clients building a luxury home in Northern Victoria can expect a budget starting from the higher end of regional builds. We provide detailed estimates during the design stage, so you have clear costings before construction begins.
Most architectural homes in the Goulburn Valley take between 12 and 18 months to complete once construction begins. The design phase, council approvals, and site preparation can add to the overall timeline. At Hateley Construct, we manage each stage closely to ensure the process remains seamless.
We specialise in new custom homes and architectural builds. Renovations and extensions are not part of our core services, as our focus is on creating homes that are designed holistically from the ground up.
Unlike volume builders, we don’t use pre-set designs. Every Hateley home is bespoke, shaped by the land it sits on and the family who will live in it. Our award-winning approach combines architectural detail, builder-led collaboration and local knowledge to deliver homes that feel truly personal.
Yes. We regularly build acreage homes across Northern Victoria, including properties in Mansfield, Yea, Euroa, and surrounding rural regions. Building on larger blocks gives us the flexibility to create architectural homes with space, orientation and detail tailored to lifestyle.
