What we build

Builds and renovations, start to finish.

From a full custom home through to a single-room reno, we run the whole job, design coordination, trades, finishes and handover, under one licensed builder.

Heritage · Piper Moss × Tillow Built

Two generations.
One standard.

Our story starts with Stephen, 40+ years building Sydney's most demanding residential projects, with the awards and reputation to match.

Stephen founded Piper Moss more than 40 years ago. Across four decades he has delivered award-winning residential architecture across Sydney, the kind of work that demands precision, patience, and a builder willing to stake their name on every detail. Hubert grew up on those sites, learned the standard by doing, and now runs Tillow Built as owner-operator.

Two licences. One way of building. You get direct access to either Stephen or Hubert, the person who knows your project inside out, and answers for it personally.

01

40+ years on the tools.

Stephen has been building Sydney's homes for four decades. That experience is in every Tillow Built project.

02

Award-winning design.

MBA-recognised residential work. The standard set on Stephen's sites is the standard you get here.

03

Personally managed, every time.

You deal with the builder. Always.

Recognition

Award-Winning
Craftsmanship.

Tillow Built was founded on one belief: every home deserves the same care and precision you'd give your own. That commitment, passed down from father to son, has been recognised by Australia's leading industry bodies.

Hubert's father Stephen J. Auld won the MBA NSW Excellence in Building Award for a $4M+ residential design & construct in Bronte, a project the judges praised for its exceptional design, execution, and precision. That same standard runs through every Tillow Built project today.
