Home By The Sea - Governors Bay
Mala’s Story:
A Coastal Dream Brought to Life
Our clients had a vision for their dream home by the sea, complete with architect-designed plans. However, when their original builder withdrew, they were left searching for a company that could bring their design to life within budget. That’s when they found Fraemohs.
Rather than pushing them into a pre-existing house plan, we worked with them to modify their architectural design, making it more cost-effective without compromising their vision. One key change was replacing the planned concrete flooring system with robust timber, which better suited the site’s contours and allowed greater flexibility in the design. The result was a beautifully distinctive home that remained true to its original architectural intent, featuring a negative detail ply ceiling and a well-defined separation between living and sleeping areas.
A Seamless Build Experience
After facing setbacks with other builders, our clients were relieved by the smooth and stress-free experience with Fraemohs. They appreciated the company’s longstanding reputation, strong purchasing power, and dedication to quality.
Built on a long, narrow section, the home’s shape naturally followed the site’s layout. A three-car garage and ‘man cave’ provided ample space for one of the homeowners, an engineer, to work on his projects.

The Final Result: Custom Coastal Retreat Made Easy
We’re proud to have created a custom-designed Timbermode home that stayed true to the clients’ architectural vision while fitting within their budget. Thoughtfully adapted to the coastal site, the home blends modern design with practical, durable materials, creating a warm and inviting retreat by the sea. With a seamless build process and high-quality craftsmanship, the clients were thrilled with their stress-free experience and the beautiful home they now enjoy.

Words from the Client:
“What started out as a horror story — An architecturally-designed home without a builder to construct it. We approached several builders, waited months for responses, and even considered alternative home types. In the end, we wanted something tried and true, and Fraemohs delivered. The build process was flawless, and Jason, who managed it, was amazing. We’d heard that building a home was supposed to be stressful, but with Fraemohs, it wasn’t at all—it was easy and enjoyable. We love our home and recommend Fraemohs to everyone we know. From start to finish, the team was fantastic—10 out of 10.”
