The Trendsetter Homes Difference
Local Expertise
Trendsetter Homes’ Director, Michael Agostino, is a testament to the company’s deep-rooted expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence in custom home building. Born and raised in Perth, Michael became one of Western Australia’s youngest registered builders at the age of 20, showcasing his exceptional talent and early dedication to the industry.
Fast forward 20 years, and Michael’s passion for custom home building remains as evident as ever, manifesting in his meticulous eye for detail and ongoing pursuit of refining and improving the custom home building process for Trendsetter Homes’ clients. This relentless drive for innovation and customer satisfaction has not gone unnoticed, as Michael’s outstanding contributions were acknowledged in 2022 when he received the prestigious Master Builders (WA) Ric New Medal for Excellence (under 35 years).
This esteemed recognition celebrates outstanding potential, innovation, creativity, and achievement in the context of an individual’s current and potential contribution to the building and construction industry or related professions in Western Australia. Michael’s receipt of this award serves as a testament to Trendsetter Homes’ unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of custom home building and delivering exceptional results for their clients.

Transparent Pricing
At Trendsetter Homes, we believe that transparency is the cornerstone of a successful and rewarding custom home building experience.

This unwavering commitment to transparency is deeply ingrained in our company’s core values of honesty, clarity, and understanding. We recognise that building a custom home is a significant investment, both financially and emotionally, and our clients deserve to have a clear understanding of every aspect of the process, including the associated costs.
To uphold this commitment, we have implemented an in-house estimation service that allows our clients to review a detailed breakdown of pricing for additions, alterations, and any additional customisations. This level of transparency empowers our clients to make informed decisions and provides them with the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what they’re investing in.
Furthermore, our cutting-edge online client portal enables our clients to have direct access to all project management timelines, documentation, and visuals related to their custom home build. This innovative platform ensures that our clients remain fully informed and involved throughout every stage of the process, fostering a collaborative and transparent relationship built on trust and open communication.
