About Us
Vivid Home Builders Founders Tony & Emma Port
We started Vivid Home Builders to give clients something better – a custom building experience that’s clear, well-managed, and delivers exactly what was promised.
Custom home building on the Fraser Coast has long meant limited choices and even less transparency. We want to change that. Our values show up in every interaction we have with you, and that is what makes the experience of building with us a positive one.
For most people, building a custom home is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. Since everyone has unique tastes and a unique lifestyle, your home should reflect exactly that. One you have had a hand in designing, one you are proud of, and one you will love living in for years to come. It is our mission to make that happen for you.
The Team Behind Your Home
As a team, we have an extensive background in the building industry. Tony has been building homes from a young age and has more than 40 years of experience building hundreds of houses. From custom homes to building designs, Tony has seen it all, and to this day, remains personally involved throughout every build.
Emma comes from a background in high-profile real estate and sales. She oversees the day-to-day running of the business and works closely with clients through the design and selection process, making sure the journey feels supported and enjoyable at every stage.
Behind Tony and Emma is a team of skilled tradespeople, site supervisors, sales staff and administration who all share the same commitment to quality and customer service. We are proud members of Master Builders Queensland, and we build exclusively across the Fraser Coast, which means we know this region, its land and its conditions better than most.
Custom home design is a dream of a lifetime for many people. Our clients want this experience and since everyone has unique tastes, the design of your home should be one you can fall in love with and live in for years to come. It should be your home. One that you’re proud of because you have custom selected everything in it.
It’s our mission to bring this dream to life for you.
How We Work With You:
We guide you through every stage of your build. From your first conversation about land and ideas, through concept design and selections, right through to construction and handover. You will always know where things stand and what is coming next, with no surprises along the way.

In Our Community:
We are community-minded in everything we do. We use local tradespeople and suppliers wherever possible so that money stays in the Fraser Coast economy, and as an independently owned and operated business, you will always deal directly with our team.
We also love giving back beyond the build. We have been involved in the Koripita Project in Fiji, helping construct homes for families living in poverty, and are supporting organisations including Destiny Rescue, Free A Girl, Orange Sky and One Tree Planted. Closer to home, we proudly support local sporting groups, aged care services and Rally for a Cause.
In our current setting, Emma manages the day-to-day running of the business as well as assisting clients and sales staff with the selection process. Tony is hands-on throughout the building process.
At Vivid Home Builders we feel very lucky to have an amazing staff that reflect our ideals. From our tradesmen, sales team, site supervisors and office administration, we employ only highly trained, motivated people that have a focus on customer service so we deliver a high quality home that you deserve.
We are also very community based. Wherever possible, we use local tradesmen and suppliers so money goes back into our local economy. We are independently owned and operated, ensuring that you receive personal service from our team at all times.
Additionally, one of our favourite things is to involve ourselves in community projects including those that lead us overseas, such as the Koripita Project in Fiji. There we assisted in the construction of building local homes for families in poverty stricken areas, we supported Destiny Rescue and Free A Girl, Orange Sky and One Tree Planted to name only a few. Closer to home, we proudly support many organisations such as local sporting groups, aged care and Rally for a Cause.
Guidance you need
We're here to strip the fear out of home buying and arm you with the confidence you need to make decisions and communicate with loan and real estate agents, home inspectors and more.
A process that makes sense
From your first design consultation through to the handover of your keys, we keep the process simple and transparent. You will always know what is happening and what comes next.
A voice like your own
No jargon, no runaround. We communicate in plain language because we believe you should always feel in control of your build, not confused by it.
Core Values
Honesty, quality and respect are at the heart of everything we do. We treat every client the way we would want to be treated ourselves, and that is something you will feel from the very first conversation.
A Message From Vivid’s Co-Founder Tony Port
Emma and I started Vivid Home Builders to create a better experience for people building their homes — not just a better end result, but a better journey along the way.
One of the biggest reasons for that was seeing how limited and frustrating the process can be with some builders. Pre-set plans, restricted selections, and costs that only become clear after you’re already committed. I’ve seen too many people, even friends, caught out by this — and it never sits right.
We believe building your home should give you the freedom to create what you actually want, with clear and upfront information so you can make confident decisions from the start.
I often think of it simply; if you were buying a car, you’d expect it to come complete, not be told later that the wheels are extra. Building a home shouldn’t be any different.
That’s why we focus on being clear, flexible, and easy to deal with from day one.
I stay actively involved because I care about how our homes are built and how our clients feel throughout the process.

A Message From Vivid’s Co-Founder Emma Port
My favourite part of working with people to create their perfect home is the look on their faces when it all comes together at the end. How excited they are to show off what they have created and they can’t wait to immerse themselves in their new lifestyle.
I love working with our clients to create a plan and décor that reflects their personality and of course, functionality. It can be daunting for some people to create a home from scratch, while others come to us with a really clear idea of what they want.
Either way, it is an exciting journey that I feel blessed to be part of and giving our clients all the support they need.
I think home design is in my DNA, I absolutely adore the creativity of the whole process from the first conversation to the handing over of the keys.
