A Family Legacy Built on Quality and Trust
Since 1991, when Michael McVeigh first registered as a builder, McVeigh Homes has been crafting exceptional residences across Brisbane with an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship and personalised service.
What began as a one-man operation has evolved into a proud family-owned business, with Michael’s son Nicholas now working alongside him, bringing fresh perspectives shaped by international experience managing projects in Canada.
Over three decades, Michael has built well over 200 homes throughout Brisbane’s northern and western suburbs, not through aggressive marketing or chasing volume, but through word-of-mouth recommendations from clients who’ve experienced the McVeigh difference.
This is how we’ve always preferred to grow: one satisfied homeowner, one beautifully crafted home, one trusted relationship at a time.

More Than Builders: We're Master Craftspeople Who Invest in the Future
At McVeigh Homes, we believe in nurturing talent and building lasting relationships. Over the years, we’ve put approximately 15 apprentices through their training, with many choosing to stay on as subcontractors after completing their qualifications, gaining invaluable experience before establishing their own successful businesses.
These aren’t just former employees; they’ve become close friends who remain in constant contact, forming a trusted network of skilled craftspeople who share our commitment to excellence. Michael thrived on challenging projects from the start, rarely encountering a flat block of land, which sharpened our expertise in navigating Brisbane’s unique terrain and site complexities.
Today, Nick supervises and works alongside apprentices and subcontractors on-site, while Michael meets with clients, discusses their options, and keeps everyone informed throughout the journey. Michael still gets involved with construction work on site, checking sub contractors work, and meeting with clients. Both make crucial decisions on-site when challenges arise, ensuring your project never loses momentum.
Testimonial
We would like to sincerely thank Michael and the McVeigh Homes team following the
successful completion of our home renovation and extension. Michael and his team exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the project, which included additional living space, a new pool and a complete upgrade of our kitchen.
From the outset, the design and quotation process was seamless and efficient. Michael’s transparency and honesty during the contract negotiation and any variations throughout the build phase truly set him apart.
We appreciated his straightforward communication, which fostered a sense of trust throughout the project.
The work was consistently completed on time, and we were particularly impressed with the professionalism of the site manager and crew. Even when we made changes along the way, the team was more than willing to accommodate our requests without hesitation.
After the project was handed over, Michael's commitment to customer satisfaction
continued, as he was quick to address any outstanding minor details.
We wholeheartedly recommend Michael McVeigh and McVeigh Homes for any
renovation or building projects. Their dedication to quality, professionalism, and customer service will ensure a hassle-free, enjoyable experience.
Building our home with McVeigh Homes was a fabulous experience. Michael and Cathy
McVeigh came highly recommended to us from a close friend who had built with their company a few years earlier.
Having no experience of our own in building a home, Michael came on board and coordinated the design and build. He kept his finger on the pulse the whole time and we were kept up to speed on all aspects of our build.
There was also plenty of flexibility to modify and value add to our build which has resulted in us having a home well above our initial expectations. What impressed us most was the quality
and finish of our dream home.
The willingness and drive that the McVeigh team has, to ultimately fulfil a client's expectations was truly inspirational. We feel we not only have a beautiful home, but one that's exceptionally well designed and built.
We would not hesitate in recommending Michael, Cathy and the team with the highest appraisal.
Michael McVeigh, owner of McVeigh Homes recently undertook a construction project for us involving building 2 small lot homes in Bardon. Council requirements necessitated restoring the old, existing house as it was deemed to have significant character even though it was in a seriously dilapidated state. It had to be substantially demolished and lifted carefully before it was given a major renovation and extension; in conjunction with construction of another brand new house right beside it.
Most builders baulked at our complex project but Michael had the experience and expertise to
complete it smoothly, within budget and on time. His team did an amazing job and we were thrilled
with the 2 beautiful homes he created for us.
We are currently collaborating with him again on the renovation and modern extension of our character home in Auchenflower.
We are more than happy to recommend Michael to anyone
contemplating a major renovation or new build.
Working with McVeigh Homes for the second time has been just as rewarding as the first.
This latest project involved a complete transformation of our kitchen and BBQ entertaining area, and
the results have exceeded our expectations.
Just like our previous renovation-a more complex pool and BBQ area-the team once again delivered with professionalism, precision, and care.
From the initial planning stages to the final touches, everything was completed on schedule, within budget, and to an exceptional standard. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and open communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
We returned to McVeigh Homes because of the trust and confidence built during our first experience, and they absolutely delivered again. If you're looking for a builder who is reliable, professional, and truly committed to quality, we can confidently recommend McVeigh Homes.
Thank you for another beautiful transformation of our home!

The Values That Shape Every McVeigh Home
At McVeigh Homes, we’ve spent 30+ years proving that the best homes aren’t built by those who build the most. They’re built by those who care the most. These are the principles that guide every decision we make and every home we create.
Craftsmanship Over Volume
We deliberately limit our projects each year to ensure every home receives the meticulous attention and quality workmanship it deserves. Your home isn't just another job; it's a masterpiece we're proud to put our name on.
Transparency in Every Detail
From the first site meeting to final handover, we believe in honest, open communication. No hidden costs, no surprises, just clear expectations and regular updates so you're always informed and confident in your investment.
Building Relationships, Not Just Homes
Whether it's the apprentices we've trained, or subcontractors we've worked with for decades, or the clients who recommend us to their friends and family, we value lasting relationships built on trust, respect, and shared success.
Your Vision, Tailored To You
We don't build cookie-cutter homes. Every project is unique because every family is unique. We take the time to understand how you live, what you value, and what makes a house truly feel like your home.
Integrity in Action
Delays can be stressful and costly. That’s why we commit to realistic timelines and proactive scheduling, ensuring your new home is ready when promised and without compromising on quality.
Open Communication
We believe building your home should be a collaborative experience. You’ll have direct lines of communication with our team, so questions get answered promptly.
Tidy Building Sites
A tidy site isn’t just about appearances. it’s about safety and efficiency too. Our team ensures your build remains orderly and respectful of your surroundings, minimising disruption to your daily life.
Your Home, Your Lifestyle, Your Story
Limited Projects, Unlimited Attention. We deliberately limit the number of projects we undertake each year because we believe every home deserves our complete attention. While other builders chase volume, we focus on creating unique, individually designed homes that reflect each client’s distinct lifestyle and vision.
Building Homes People Love, Not Just Award Winners. As we often say: “a home is more than just a place to live, it is a reflection of you and your family’s lifestyle.” we could be award winning, but we choose to spend our time with clients who want a wonderfully built home, not a show home to win awards
Decades of Trust, Built One Home at a Time. With strong relationships built over decades with suppliers and subcontractors, and a reputation built on quality workmanship and transparent communication, McVeigh Homes doesn’t just build your house. We become part of your story, ensuring every detail aligns with your aspirations and the way you truly want to live.
