Planning to build something new like a granny flat, carport, deck or mobile tiny home, extend your existing space, or take on a major renovation and need clarity on the process? Find answers from your licensed Lismore builder here.

What is a licensed builder and why does it matter?

A licensed builder is a professional who’s legally authorised to carry out and supervise building work. They’ve met all the training, experience, and insurance requirements set by NSW Fair Trading.

For you as a customer, hiring a licensed builder means peace of mind. You’re protected by law, the work meets Australian building standards, and you’re covered by insurance in case anything goes wrong. It’s the smart, safe choice, especially for major projects.

Can you handle council approvals for things like extensions or granny flats?

Yes, navigating council paperwork can be a maze! We handle the Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) process, preparing and lodging necessary plans and documents to ensure your extension or granny flat (under 60m²) meets all local Lismore and NSW regulations.

Do you build houses?

We don’t build standard houses, but we do manage a wide range of other projects. These include renovations, extensions, granny flats, tiny homes, commercial fit-outs, and rural structures like sheds. Everything is coordinated by our team using trusted trades to ensure a smooth result.

How do you ensure the quality of work across all the different trades involved?

Quality matters to us because we’re locals too! Our fully licensed and insured team ($20M public liability) uses qualified, in-house experts for key trades like excavation & earthworks, roofing services, plumbing services, electrical services, and final painting.

Our project managers oversee everything from planning to handover, ensuring all work meets  (and often exceeds) Australian standards. As locals, we take pride in doing things right; Cutting corners just isn’t an option when you live and work in the same community as your clients.

Can you work with architects or designers if I already have plans drawn up?

Absolutely. We often work from client-provided architectural or designer plans. Whether it’s for a granny flat, extension, deck, or other structural project, we’ll collaborate closely with your designer or architect, combining their vision with our practical building expertise and construction know-how to ensure the build is achievable, compliant and beautifully executed.
