Every East Built project moves through the same four stages. Clear scope. Clear price. Clear timeline. No surprises — and if something does come up, you'll hear it from us first.
We come to site, walk the home with you, listen to what you actually want — and what you don't. Free, no obligation.
We coordinate with your architect (or recommend one), nail down materials, and prepare a fixed-price or cost-plus contract you can read in one sitting.
A small, named crew on site each day. Weekly progress photos, a single point of contact, and a site you'd be happy to walk through unannounced.
A detailed walk-through, defects window, and full builders warranty — 6 years major, 2 years minor.
Every review you'll read on this site is verifiable. We've never asked anyone to leave a five-star — they just do.
"James and his team at East Built were nothing short of fantastic. They had a tight schedule to get our family into our home before Christmas and the arrival of our baby — and he delivered. James' attention to detail is exactly what you want from your builder."
"East Built delivered an architecturally designed extension and renovation for us. True to the architect's vision, the team did a top quality job, on time and on budget. They had an eye for detail and were clear, honest communicators."
"James and his team did an internal renovation to our miners cottage in Thirroul. He was incredibly helpful when we were planning the work (and patient as we had several changes) and delivered the job on time, on budget to a very high standard."
Free on-site consultation. Honest pricing. No pressure, no nonsense — just a careful builder who'll tell you straight if your project is worth doing.
