Northern Beaches Builders Specialising in Architectural Homes & Renovations

Project costs vary depending on size, scope, and level of finish. If you have detailed plans and documentation, we can provide you with a fixed quote. If not, our planning and budgeting service offers clear cost estimates before you commit to the full design process. Costs are assessed at key stages, including concept design, pre–Development Application (DA) stage, and pre Construction Certificate application stage.

Timeframes vary depending on the type of project, most take between 6 to 14 months, depending on whether it's a smaller extension or a larger renovation or new build. During the planning phase, we develop a detailed timeline using Microsoft Project, outlining key milestones to ensure your project stays on track.

No. If you already have an architect we’ll collaborate with them to establish project goals. If you’re starting from scratch, we can introduce you to trusted architects and interior designers and help manage the process from early concept through to completion.

For major works, moving out keeps everyone safe, protects your belongings, and allows us to work more effectively allowing us to complete your project sooner. It also helps avoid exposure to dust, noise, and disruptions that come with a construction project.

We specialise in high-quality home renovations, new custom builds, and extensions.

Our deep understanding of the Northern Beaches and North Shore, from council requirements and coastal conditions to the character of established homes, means your project is managed with insight, precision, and care. No shortcuts. Just solid communication, reliable processes, and quality workmanship that speaks for itself.

Not at all. If you don’t have plans, we can guide you through the design stage with our trusted architectural and interior design partners. We’ll help you shape a vision that works with your block, budget and lifestyle.

We can provide an estimate based on your current documentation. For a formal fixed-price, we need a defined scope of work. If you’re just starting out, our budgeting and planning service is a great first step.

Yes. Once the scope is agreed and drawings are complete, we provide a detailed, fixed-price contract. This gives you clarity and peace of mind before work begins.

That’s up to you. Some clients prefer to be hands-on, others want us to handle everything. Either way, we’ll keep you informed and involved at the key stages.
