What we do

Our services

We love transforming homes. From complete makeovers, while respecting the design, character and integrity of the existing space, to just refreshing what’s already there. We’re resourceful, creative and invested in delivering the best possible outcomes. From construction and project management to design consulting, we build and renovate homes across Bowral, Burradoo, Moss Vale, Mittagong, Exeter and the wider Southern Highlands.

Renovations and Extensions

Renovations and Extensions

We can build out, up or under, and will work with you to achieve the outcome you want. Whether it’s increasing the number of living spaces (indoors or out), turning small rooms into open-plan living, changing up your kitchen and bathrooms or building separate accommodation for independent teenagers, other family members or the rental market. In fact whatever it is, we’re here to help you create the spaces that are going to make a difference to how you live.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

We all know the most important room in the house is the kitchen. It’s the engine room and pivotal hub of our homes. We can help you remodel your kitchen to create a new look, increase its bulk and scale, create more usable space, improve its fit with an existing theme or help create a more contemporary style to accommodate the raft of new cooking appliances available to integrate into benchtops and cabinetry.

Bathrooms are the second most important rooms in the house. We can help you create a design to maximise available space and fit for your budget. It can be as simple as changing cabinetry and tiles, or a complete makeover incorporating new luxury baths and shower spaces, dressing areas and relaxation spaces.

Granny Flats and Weekend Accommodation

Need space for relatives, guests, a teen retreat or home office, or see an opportunity to capitalise on the ever-increasing demand for weekend or overnight rentals in the Highlands? A granny flat could be the answer while adding value to your property and providing a potential income stream as well. We can help you design a solution by utilising existing space or joining on to your existing home.

Garages and Additional Space

Whether it’s refurbishing or extending an existing garage or carport, or changing its usage to incorporate additional living space or home office, we can work with you to achieve the best outcome. We can also create bespoke character-filled designs for sheds, barns, pool houses and more to fit with a rural or residential environment, using new or recycled materials.

Design Services

Creating a home that looks beautiful and works beautifully starts with understanding how you want to live.

We work alongside our clients to guide the design journey, from floor plan optimisation and design concepts to research, sourcing, material selections and those sometimes-tricky design decisions.

By understanding your vision, aesthetic and lifestyle, we bring together functionality, practicality and thoughtful design to help shape a home that feels uniquely yours.

Whether you need fresh ideas, clever solutions, a sounding board for decisions or simply a guiding hand when decision fatigue sets in, we’re here to help make the process easier, more enjoyable and ultimately more rewarding.

“We are extremely happy with the renovation to our property in Burradoo. It came in on budget and within the expected timelines. I would not hesitate to recommend Neil, who proved to be both reliable and trustworthy. He is hands-on, always on-site to ensure things went as planned, and often went beyond expectations.”
