Vivere Homes: Crafting your bespoke haven in Hervey Bay

When it came time to build our new ‘dream’ home we were looking for something more than cookie-cutter. Working alongside Ingrid & Frans has been so easy, rewarding and inspiring.  We are so grateful to have their guidance, experience and vision. It is thrilling to see the progress of the home from concept drawings to come out of the ground – so looking forward to moving in to start the lifestyle of being in a Vivere home. - Debbie and Darren Potts 

When I announced that I was planning to have a house built, I was surprised how many people started to warn me about building. “You can’t trust a builder, there will be lots of delays and also added $$ that weren’t in the original contract and so on and so on”. 

But instead of the negative comments, it was fun sitting down with Frans and Ingrid to design my dream home. It was a great experience and I was amazed how Ingrid grasped my ideas and out them on to paper. 

Frans put in great effort to get the best contractors as well as quotes and to stay well within my budget. The team at VIVERE is doing an amazing job, not only regarding the quality of work but also the finishes of the design and structure. Building made easy if you have Vivere.

Having a house that is different is what I love and Ingrid and Frans made this possible.

Thank you both, as well as Wally, Rodney, Paul, Jake, Noah and team. 

Vivere homes recently completed our beach home on The Esplanade in Hervey Bay. As the architects and owners of this property, we had a very particular vision in mind for the design. Frans, Ingrid and the team worked tirelessly with us from start to finish to achieve this vision, going above and beyond to achieve a beautiful high-end home with carefully built details. The number of pedestrians stopping to admire the home, is testament to the quality of the product that Vivere has achieved. Communication was always excellent, and Frans was on-hand in the final days of construction to ensure all ran smoothly and everything was completed to our satisfaction. If you are looking for a quality-built home in Hervey Bay and beyond, look no further than Vivere homes!

The team at Vivere completed a main bedroom, bathroom, retreat and patio area extension for our home and also a renovation of an existing bathroom and laundry. This was done during a particularly challenging time for the construction industry in Hervey Bay. Supply chain issues and lack of trades impacting timelines in a major way.

Despite these challenges and throughout the entire project we were immensely impressed with the communication and flexibility shown by Vivere.

I think there is a key point which people need to understand about what Vivere offers as a business. They are not one size fits all business. They work hard to understand what you as a customer want and offer a unique service in which they adapt as needed to client needs and demands. This can only come at a cost, not only monetary but also in time.

We are very grateful to Vivere for completing our project. We love the extra space, the colours, design and furnishings. It may sound dramatic, but it has changed our lives. Despite all the challenges throughout the project we always felt that we knew what was happening, where we sat within our budget and had confidence that Vivere would simply 'solve it' for us.

Thankyou Vivere.

Ingrid and Frans gave us all the support we needed to create the living spaces we imagined . They were willing to spend as much time required with us during the planning stages of our major renovation with no extra cost to us. They also were  willing to accommodate any changes during the construction.We felt totally included throughout the whole process and we are very pleased with the final outcome. Ingrid's creative imagination together with Frans's practical solutions enables them to build very high quality energy efficient homes for the future.

We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and specially those who dare to be different. We would also like to thank them for their honesty and wish them well.

I have worked with Ingrid and Frans several times now.

The first time, Ingrid and Frans renovated our bathroom and did an outstanding job, back in 2018.

Ingrid put a lot of thought into the design. She has excellent taste and understands what fits together. The building work went very smoothly. Everything was very well organised. Frans was overlooking the work every day and sometimes he even touched the tools and got involved himself.

For us it was exciting to watch the progress. Both Ingrid and Frans are a very friendly and trustworthy couple. They have created our dream bathroom. We can highly recommend them.

Following our successful bathroom renovation with Ingrid and Frans, we decided to give our kitchen an upgrade too.

I would definitely work with Ingrid and Frans again for any future building work. They are most reliable and honest, have very good taste and completed the job in a very reasonable time.

Thanks Ingrid and Frans! You made us happy again!!!

Vivere Homes made building my dream home a reality. They were transparent through the entire process and kept me up to date with each and every step. They never went over the price that they quoted at all. Being a newbie I had SO many questions and they calmly replied to them all. Their finishes are stunning and they pay attention to even the finest detail. Even the insulation they use adds to the energy efficiency in my home thus saving me money. Their onsite interior designer is an added bonus and they saved me so much money with their guidance and colour/selections advice. My home is gorgeous! Frans, Ingrid, Sjuul and the team are authentic, professional, reliable, current, knowledgeable and customer service-driven; and their passion for house design and building is our absolute gain. I HIGHLY recommend Vivere Homes and cannot ever thank them enough for everything.

Ingrid and Frans have helped in colour selection and design in our 16 year old home.

By installing louvres, reversing the panels in sliding doors and the care and meticulous attention to detail; they have improved air flow as well as giving us more space.

They are prompt,  reliable and a pleasure to deal with.

We are happy and eager to recommend them to anyone wanting to improve and update features in your home, and you'll be amazed at the affordability of the change in your lifestyle.

We would use their services again and intend to do so in the near future.

As first-time homeowners, we came to the team at Vivere Homes with a lack of knowledge in all departments of building. From our initial consultation, it was evident that we were in capable hands, and they would help us deliver our vision beyond our expectations.  

Our vision was simple; open plan living but kept within a tight budget. From concept to creation, we felt safe in giving our complete trust and allowing the team to guide us through all stages. From design, to tile shopping, colours to lighting, their honesty and willingness to go above and beyond for us has been met with much success.

Their team’s attention to detail and knack for creativity is second to none. With unique ideas, they were able to craft our simple vision into a spacious, fresh, first home.

Frans, Ingrid and Sjuul’s warm presence and professionalism ensured our building experience was incredibly personal, stress-free, and enjoyable”.     

I’m the proud owner of a beautiful new home thanks to the team from Vivere.

I can’t thank Frans, Ingrid and Sjuul enough for bringing my thoughts and dreams to fruition. 

How enjoyable it is to sit down and discuss your plans with genuine people who are completely on your wavelength from day one. The whole process was extremely easy from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble for this team, and they totally nailed the brief.

Not only has Frans built me the most amazing home, but Ingrid and Sjuul gave me the greatest interior design features and furnishing ideas I could have wished for. They were so in tune with everything I wanted.

I couldn’t be happier and I’m sure I’ll be enjoying my lovely home for years to come.

Frans and Ingrid are the go to builders/renovators for professional work from start to finish. After photographing their builds and renovations for years it was a simple choice when I needed to get my elderly parents bathroom renovated to assist my father in a wheelchair. Not only did they do it in a clean and timely manner they also consistently communicated on the work they were doing.  My parents have the same proud grin as I have seen on all the other Vivere owners faces. Thank you Frans & Ingrid

I manage a local tile shop and love when Ingrid and her team are in store, she is excellent with colour selection and advice.  Ingrid has an eye for detail and provides an exceptional service. Her thoughtfulness of architecture, environment and the elements enables her to understand her clients ideas and desires.  Ingrid is genuine with a kind and caring soul, and goes above and beyond. Very Highly Recommend!
