Whether you’re on a tropical acreage block in the Atherton Tablelands, a lifestyle property near Mareeba, or seeking a compact city solution in suburban Cairns, LJM builds homes designed for FNQ’s unique environment.

Our homes are built for Queensland’s tropical conditions – elevated for cyclone-season airflow, moisture-resistant materials, and engineering that meets Queensland’s climate zone requirements. We deliver to Cairns and the broader region including the Atherton Tablelands, Cassowary Coast, and Tropical North Queensland.

What our clients have to say…

Joe Arneson and team at LJM built me my tiny house that I absolutely love living in. Joe was wonderful in accommodating my designs for my tiny as well as advising what would and would not work for me. The budget was set with no surprises at the end which was very reassuring. He’s really easy to communicate with and kept me informed at all stages, even though I was 1000 km away! Would highly recommend, and I’m even considering getting another one built by Joe and the team at LJM down the track!

Kirsten Hartshorne

Cannot rate LJM highly enough. Joe and the team were so fabulous to deal with. They built our tiny house while we were interstate so communication was critical and Joe and Vicki in particular excelled at this. The whole build experience was seamless and we are so happy with the quality of the build, the attention to detail is second to none. Exceptionally good value for a very high end product. Joe was with us every step of the way, including delivery and was very helpful and supportive when we were dealing with some challenges with our site. I would definitely recommend LJM! Thank you to Joe, Vicki and the team.

Michelle Scanlon

Thank you to Joe and the team at LJM, for going above and beyond in so many ways.You made the build process flow smoothly and with ease, within our timeframe and financial means.I value the guidance, advice and support that was provided throughout each step of the way through open and clear communication. You were able to see and understand my vision and bring it into my reality.

Ange

The team at LJM believe in service with a capital ‘S’ and it shows. Great companies have great people from the top down and LJM is an excellent example of how a customer focussed company truly should be. The attitude is beyond ‘can do’. It’s more ‘Let’s make it HAPPEN!”. Our Tiny was fully custom from the trampoline-style reading loft to the drop down trailer (ask Joe – I think he still has nightmares about it!) and nothing was too much. Everything was met with calm and interest in what we wanted.The experience was how building or creating anything should be. We had fun doing it and loved the experience.
We would do it again and we would use LJM exclusively.
