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.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

How long does a typical home renovation take?

Kitchens 4-6 weeks, bathrooms 3-4 weeks, single-room extensions 8-12 weeks, full-house renovations 12-20 weeks. Every project gets a written milestone schedule before work begins.

Do you handle the design and approvals, or do I need an architect?

Both options are fine. We work directly with your architect and certifier, or we can introduce you to designers and draftspeople we trust if you don't have one. For straightforward renos we can prepare DA/CDC drawings in-house.

How are payments structured?

Standard NSW HIA fixed-price contract, 5% deposit (capped under HBCF), then progress payments on completion of agreed milestones (frame, lock-up, fix-out, completion). No surprise extras unless you change the scope.

Can I stay in the house during the renovation?

Often yes for single-room or bathroom-only jobs. For full-house renovations or kitchen replacements, most clients prefer to move out for 4-8 weeks. We'll discuss it on the site visit.

What's included in your fixed-price quote?

Everything documented in the scope, labour, materials, all subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, tiling, glazing), site protection, rubbish removal, certifier fees, and HBCF insurance. Only PC items (tapware, tiles, appliances) are budgeted as allowances against your selections.

Do you offer Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) insurance?

Yes, required by NSW law for residential work over $20,000. Included in every quote so you're covered for incomplete or defective work.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, NSW Builder's Licence 393831C, full public liability and workers compensation.
