Why keep paying top dollar for traditional home construction in Australia when you could save hundreds of thousands by building smarter?
At DeepBlue Smarthouse, we’ve helped owner-builders, investors, and entrepreneurial couples turn personal projects into major financial wins — by combining DIY construction with affordable prefabricated steel frame systems. Here’s a practical example of how you and your partner could pocket an extra $450,000 AUD within a year, on top of your salaries and property value growth.
📊 Real Calculation: How the Numbers Work

For a 500 sqm home:👉 $1,300 x 500 sqm = $650,000 AUD saved
📅 But What If You’re Busy and Build Slowly?
Even if you’re building part-time as an owner-builder — working on weekends, holidays, and after-hours, you can realistically finish your project within a year.
👉 Even accounting for extra incidental costs, let’s say you only save $900 AUD/sqm.
$900 x 500 sqm = $450,000 AUD saved
That’s $450,000 in extra value created within a year — without quitting your job. Plus, you now own a valuable housing asset with capital appreciation potential.
