What we build,
and how we build it.
Mo and Ibrahim are across every project, from the first site visit to the day you get your keys. No account managers, no handoffs. New here? Start with what a passive house is.
20–25°C
A stable temperature year-round, on a fraction of the energy.
−80%
Versus a standard Sydney home. PHI certified, independently verified.
5–8
Homes a year, so the directors stay across every build.
What we do
Five ways we take a home from block to keys.
However your project begins, with one of our certified designs, a blank page, or plans you already love from your own architect, the same engineering-led team makes it buildable, healthy and energy efficient, then carries it through to handover. The accountability never changes hands.
Certified Passive House Design & Build
We design and build to PHI passive house certification standard. Your brief, site, budget, and construction complexity are treated as a single problem from day one. Mo and Ibrahim are on site at every critical stage.

Custom Home Design & Build
For clients who want an engineering-led custom home without the full PHI certification process. The same rigour, the same two people, the same five to eight homes a year, by choice.

Knock-Down Rebuild
We assess the structure, the planning controls, and your brief before recommending a rebuild. Many Sydney sites carry heritage overlays, biodiversity constraints, or stormwater requirements. These are best understood before demolition, not after.

Complex & Sloping Sites
Sloping blocks, narrow lots, corner blocks, and wide-shallow sites each present specific structural and design challenges. Our civil and mechanical engineering backgrounds let us resolve them in the design phase, not on site.

Site Investigation & Feasibility
Before any design begins, we review the survey, planning controls, heritage overlays, and stormwater mapping. The result is a fixed-fee, builder-agnostic report on your block's feasibility and cost drivers, which you own regardless of who you build with.

Health, certainty, and one team accountable from the first sketch to the final key.
Why it matters
Three things very few Sydney builders combine under one roof.
Health and performance
Engineered first for air quality, a stable temperature, and around 80% less energy than a standard home. Independently certified to the Passive House standard, so it is measured, not just claimed.
A predictable, fixed-price process
Every decision is resolved before construction: design and tender take around 14 to 18 weeks, approvals run 6 weeks (CDC) to 4 months (council DA), and a fixed-price contract is issued before a spade enters the ground. You follow the budget and programme on the Buildern client portal.
One integrated team
Builder-first, with architecture in-house. The two engineers who design your home are the two who build it. No gap between what was drawn and what gets built.
“We engaged Marvel Homes to rebuild a detached home and they met and exceeded our expectations. We got our DA approved by council in 31 days from submission. From concept to final building plans the whole process was executed on point.”

Common
questions
Our services, answered.
What services does Marvel Homes offer?
Marvel Homes is an engineer-led design-and-build firm in Sydney. We offer certified passive house design and build, custom home design and build, knock-down rebuilds, complex and sloping site builds, and site investigation and feasibility. Design and construction sit under one contract, with Mo and Ibrahim on every project.
Do you offer design and construction separately?
We work as design-and-build, so design and construction sit under one contract with one accountable team. Where you start is your choice: begin with one of our certified Passive House designs and adapt it, design from scratch with us, or keep the architect you already love and bring us in as the construction partner through a Pre-Construction Agreement. Either way, it removes the gap between what is drawn and what gets built.
How many projects does Marvel Homes take on a year?
We take five to eight homes a year by choice, not capacity. Fewer would force the price up, more would dilute the service. A tight team does the work while Mo and Ibrahim stay across every build. It also means we are honest about fit before you commit.
What is the first step to working with Marvel Homes?
The lowest-risk first step is a builder-agnostic site assessment: a fixed $1,500 review of your block's feasibility, planning controls, and cost drivers. You own the report regardless of who you build with.

We build five to eight homes a year, by choice. If your site and brief are a fit, we will say so quickly. If they are not, we will tell you that too.
