A backyard studio or garage is a small build carrying all the same requirements as a big one: setbacks, site coverage, stormwater, engineered footings — and in most cases a Development Approval before anything starts.
We handle that side of it. The building is sited to comply, the approval is lodged and managed, and the cladding, roof pitch and window frames are detailed so it reads as part of the house rather than a kit dropped in the yard.
Where the building is habitable — a studio, home office or teenage retreat — we run power, data and insulation through to a finished, lined interior.
Cladding, roof pitch and frames detailed to match the main house.

How it works
Four clear stages, one point of contact
You deal with the same person from first conversation to final handover — no call centres, no shifting goalposts.
01
Consultation
We sit down with you, walk the site and listen to what you actually want — then tell you honestly what it takes.
02
Siting & approvals
The building is sited to comply with setbacks and site coverage, then the Development Approval is lodged and managed for you.
03
Fixed price build
A fixed price quote and programme before work starts, then trades coordinated to that schedule.
04
Handover & warranty
Final inspection walked through together, documentation handed over, and Home Warranty on the work.
