What We Build

Builds & 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.

01

Custom Home Builds

Full, ground-up custom homes built to your brief. We coordinate architects, structural engineers and trades end to end so the build runs cleanly from slab to handover.

02

Full Home Renovations

Whole-of-house renovations — reconfigure your floor plan, upgrade kitchens and bathrooms, modernise services, finishes and joinery in one coordinated build.

Heritage homes Internal walls Joinery & cabinetry New kitchens & baths
03

Extensions & Additions

Add ground-floor extensions, second-storey additions, granny flats or garage conversions to suit how your family lives now — properly tied into the existing structure.

Kitchen & Bathroom Renos

Single-room renovations that lift the whole house. Custom joinery, stone, tiling, waterproofing, plumbing and electrical — planned, costed and built by one team.

Why Tillow Built

Just great work.

We're owner-operators — you deal directly with the person doing the work. That means better communication, real accountability, and results you'll actually love.

NSW Licence No. 393831C. Every job meets Australian building standards. You're fully covered.

02

Upfront, Fixed Pricing

No hidden costs, no surprise invoices. We quote clearly in writing and stick to it.

03

We Respect Your Home

Clean worksites every day. Protected surfaces. We always leave tidier than we found it.

04

Honest Timelines

We don't overpromise. If we say Thursday, it'll be done Thursday.

職人From the Workshop

A carpenter, first.

That mindset still runs every project. From a hardwood deck substructure to a full home renovation, precision is just our default setting.

  • Hand-cut joinery where it matters — concealed fixings, mitres, scribed cuts.
  • Sharp tools, square cuts — no shortcuts on the small details no-one else looks at.
  • One supervisor on site — the person who quoted is the person who's building.

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.
