Our Service Area
The majority of our construction projects have been on Sydney’s North Shore, both the Upper North Shore, and Lower North Shore.
While the North Shore remains our central focus, we’re always open to working with clients in surrounding areas. We have undertaken projects in The Northern Beaches, The Inner West, The Hills District, and The Eastern Suburbs.
If you’re interested in our Design Services, we are less limited geographically, and can work with you in any part of the world, provided we can get to you.

Our Process
Our team stays onsite for the whole duration of the build.
While many of the other players in the industry use contractors for the entirety of their projects, we employ our core team.
We have worked with many of our contractors and suppliers for many years. Building trusted relationships with these people and companies allows us to maintain the highest quality.
