About Us
At Humble Abode Building Group, we’ve seen firsthand how minor oversights in construction can snowball into major issues for homeowners—sometimes when it’s too late to fix them. We believe this cycle needs to end. That’s why we’re here: to help clients who are ready to bring their dream homes to life with a private builder they can trust.
IMAGINATION, FUNCTIONALITY, and EASE
These aren’t just words to us—they’re the pillars of your building journey. As builders, it’s our responsibility to champion these values at every stage. From the first sketch to the final handover, we take the stress out of decision-making and replace it with excitement, clarity, and joy. At Humble Abode, we invite you to truly make yourself at home.
Our Story
Founded in 2018, Humble Abode is built on over 15 years of industry expertise and collaborative craftsmanship. Director Jarrod Gaget was inspired to launch the company after experiencing the pitfalls of working with a larger builder on his own home. That experience became the driving force behind our mission: to deliver the quality, care, and communication every homeowner deserves.
What Sets Us Apart
From our base in Pakenham, VIC, we’ve completed projects across the state—combining professional carpentry, trusted trade partnerships, and strong relationships with major developers. Every home we build is treated as if it were our own, with thoughtful planning, quality execution, and a commitment to excellence from start to finish.
Let’s build your future—together.
Jarrod Gaget – Director, Humble Abode
From a young age, Jarrod Gaget had a passion for building and creating. His hands were always busy, and his mind was always dreaming up something new. In 2005, he began his carpentry apprenticeship under the guidance of a skilled mentor who inspired him to pursue his own path in the trade. By 2008, Jarrod had launched his own carpentry business, laying the foundation for what would become a thriving career in the construction industry.
Over the years, Jarrod built a reputation for quality and reliability, completing projects for a wide range of home builders—from minor renovations to large-scale developments.
But Jarrod’s ambitions didn’t stop there. In 2016, he set his sights on becoming a licensed builder. After earning his building license, he went on to establish Humble Abode Building Group in 2018. For several years, he successfully managed both his carpentry company and Humble Abode, delivering standout results across a variety of residential projects.
In 2021, recognizing the growing potential and unique vision behind Humble Abode, Jarrod made the decision to dedicate himself fully to the business. He stepped away from his carpentry company to focus entirely on leading Humble Abode. Today, Jarrod lives and breathes building, guiding a small and passionate team with a hands-on approach and a deep commitment to craftsmanship.
The Director’s Vision
Over the years, Jarrod Gaget witnessed firsthand the recurring issues that plagued build sites—including on his own home after engaging a larger builder to build the family home. These experiences became the driving force behind launching Humble Abode Building Group: a company founded on the belief that every homeowner deserves better—better communication, better craftsmanship, and better care.
With this vision at its core, Humble Abode is committed to delivering a higher standard in residential construction for both home buyers and renovators. Jarrod’s goal is to treat every project as if it were his own home—from the first set of plans to the final handover.
For Jarrod, the most rewarding part of the process is handing over a finished home to clients who are genuinely thrilled with the outcome. It’s more than just a job well done—it’s a reflection of the trust clients place in Humble Abode to turn their dreams into reality.
