Introducing our new project at Bardwell Valley. The demo phase as of Friday showing deck, pergola, concrete stairs and 2 storey extension gone. We’re looking forward to working with and on this well designed and well budgeted project (complete with a native bee hive and chickens in the far end of the garden). The parking’s excellent - makes for a refreshing change! - and the view of the bush park and golf course in the valley below is stunning. A gem of a suburb on the south border of the inner west… a mere 10min commute from our warehouse in Marrickville.

This narrow, third storey skylight in our Petersham project (’s stunning design) proving its worth on an overcast day.

This build was delivered on time and to budget despite the impact of the pandemic on so many aspects of building (material costs and lockdown complications among them). The additional challenges we’ve faced from these external forces only make us feel prouder of what we’ve achieved for our happy client.

With tight access and adjoining neighbours either side, terraces are an excellent litmus test for capability of any builder. In something as significant as a renovation, the process is as important as the outcome, and we’re proud that any prospective client looking at our past work, talking with past clients or reviewing our detailed quotes will be reassured by what they see and hear.

Through the old, into the new. designed 4 bedroom enmore terrace. This stole a painful chunk of our hearts as we handed over the keys. We simply fell in love. One consolation is we have two new friends who have those keys. I can nip over and have coffee with and feel ever so slightly envious. Thanks Louise & Dave.
