Southern Tasmania Builder · Since the early 90s

Building right,
by people
who care.

Family-owned Hobart builder. Three decades on the tools across new builds, renovations, extensions and decking. We only take on what we can do properly — usually with a week or two between jobs so we don’t let people down.

Why people call us back

“The last thing we want is a phone call asking ‘where are you?’

So we don’t operate like a lot of tradies. We only take on what we can handle properly, usually with breathing room between jobs so we don’t let people down. It’s far more important to turn one client into a fan than three clients into ex-clients. We learned that lesson almost 30 years ago, and it’s a big part of the reason people trust us today.

What we do

Four kinds of work,
one team.

From a granny flat to a custom home, a kitchen renovation to a deck out the back. Built properly the first time.

01

New Builds

Custom homes built to your brief or your architect’s drawings. Three decades’ experience means you can worry less.

02

Renovation

Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-house. We’ve renovated places for ourselves — we know the pitfalls.

03

Extension

Extensions are their own challenge. Choose the most experienced, reliable builder you can find.

04

Decking

A lot of people can build a deck. A builder builds a better one. A better builder builds the best.

Recent work

Built around
Southern Tasmania.

A selection of recent projects across Hobart and the surrounding suburbs. New builds, extensions and renovations — with the joinery “spot on,” as James puts it.

James and Ben
The team
Family business · Hobart

Run by James.
Built with Ben.

A small Hobart-based family business that’s been providing quality, reliable building and earthmoving services across Southern Tasmania for almost 30 years.

James has been building homes since the early 1990s. He’s the one you’ll be dealing with from quote through to handover — a good bloke, direct, and someone who’ll go out of his way to support, understand and accommodate the people he works for and with.

Ben is a chippie off the old block. Good at what he does — very good — and great to work with. “He has a great teacher,” says James with a massive grin.

All I want is a truck and an excavator… and maybe a decent trailer… because having those things makes me a better builder.

— James Coy

Kind words

What clients
tell us.

We haven’t won any awards. Not one. We don’t enter awards. What clients say will always matter more than awards.

Professionalism, punctuality, quality, responsiveness, value. They worked with us throughout the build to ensure we were satisfied with the end result. Job completed to an exceptional standard, super efficient, met our timeframe.

We keep room in the schedule for the right jobs — but we don’t want you to choose us just because we’re available. We want you to choose us because we’re the right builder for the work.
