Our Story

Two Families. One Company. Your Home.

In 2012, the Janssens and Burnside families came together with a shared belief: building a home should feel personal. Not corporate. Not transactional. Personal.

Twelve years later, that belief hasn't changed. Jason, Sharon, Peter, and their families still answer every call, walk every site, and care about every detail. Because when your builders are a family, they build your home like it's their own.

What They Say

From Our Homeowners

Activa are small enough to care but big enough to get the job done. Jason and Sharon were across every detail, and the result exceeded our expectations. We felt like we were building with family, not a corporation.

Anna Custom Home, Oakford

Their communication throughout was exceptional. Every question was answered, every concern addressed. Peter made the entire process feel easy, even when we changed our minds halfway through. Highly recommend.

Prabhash & Praveen Custom Home, Harrisdale

The team treated our build like it was their own home. The attention to detail, the quality of finishes, and the genuine care they showed — you just don't get that from the big builders. We'd build with Activa again in a heartbeat.

The Process

From Vision to Keys

Four steps. No surprises. Complete transparency.

1

Consult

We sit down, listen to your vision, and understand how your family lives. No pressure, no templates — just a genuine conversation about what matters to you.

2

Design

Our designers translate your brief into detailed plans. We refine together until every room, every view, and every detail feels exactly right.

3

Build

Construction begins with full transparency. Weekly updates, open communication, and a site you're welcome to visit anytime. No surprises.

4

Handover

The keys are yours. We walk you through every system, every finish. And we're still here after handover — because the relationship doesn't end at the door.

Begin Your Journey

Every great home starts with a conversation. Tell us what you're dreaming of, and we'll show you how we can bring it to life — with the personal touch only a family builder can deliver.
