Complete Building has been completing all types of home improvements. House extensions of almost every style and design. Renovations to existing home.. Kitchen and bathroom renovations. Removal of internal structural walls to engineer specifications. Re-roofs in colour bond or roof tiles. Single room additions and granny flats. Pergolas, decks and verandahs.

Most people think that extending an existing home is more expensive than building a new home. Although this may be true is some cases often it is more desirable to extend or renovate an existing property. Good quality economical land is now very hard to find and often it makes more sense to extend and renovate your existing home.

PROJECT HOMES Complete Building is not a project home style builder. We like to think of ourselves as contract builders. The difference is there is NO restrictions of the style of the home constructed or the materials used. We can build any home at all, no matter how simple of detailed the design is. We do not charge excessively for different designs or changes as we have no standard method of construction. There is no restriction on which materials to use. For example bricks can come from PGH, Boral or Austral Bricks. Windows can be supplied from Southern Star windows, Trend or Boral Windows. Doors can be Corinthian, Hume or Doors Plus. Ceramic or Porcelin tiles and bathroom fittings can come from any supplier in Sydney or beyond. We even allow owners to supply materials directly if they prefer. Builders get large discounts on structural materials such as concrete, bricks, frames & trusses, timber, roof tiles, metal roofing, windows & doors. However they do not receive such large discount on some of the finish items such as bathroom fittings, tiles, paint, kitchen cooking appliances, carpet and blinds. Therefore many of our clients now prefer to supply some of the items directly, which is absolutley fine with us. We can offer a full "turn-key" handover service or construction using some owner supplied materials. The owner should enquire with us about how this can affect insurances, warranties, home owners warranty insurance and the construction program. STANDARD DESIGNS Complete Building Sydney  does NOT have any standard designs as we build such a wide variety of projects. We can show you pictures or plans of our previous projects. However with every site having such different conditions and every council having their own specific requirement every project needs to be designed and constructed specifically. We recommend that a "concept plan" first be prepared. It is best to set a brief for the designer of a "Must have list" plus an optional "Wish List' with a budget construction cost. This is a much better system than designing the house yourself and simply have them redraw your design. The designer is the best person to evaluate the reality of your budget verse your requirements. Once this concept plan is prepared we can than cost the project exactly, price any alternatives in design or materials and obtain verbal council approval. KIT HOMES Complete Building Sydney  is not a kit home builder. Not to say we would not construct a kit home supplied by another company however we do not see any value in erecting kit homes. Everything you get from a kit home company you can purchase directly from other suppliers. You are just paying the kit home company a premium for processing the orders that the builder would normally make. You will also need to sign one contract with the kit home company for the supply of the kit and another second contract with the builder to erect the kit home. There is often the disagreements between the parties on the quantity and quality of the materials supplied. In our opinion it is a better method to sign one building contract directly with the builder to supply and install ALL quality materials.
KNOCK-DOWN AND REBUILDING Complete Building Sydney  will happily knock-down and rebuild any home. To be honest so would any builder. It is only a matter of arranging a demolisher and that's it. Many companies advertise they can knock down and rebuild but this is just a clever marketing campaign rather than a special skill. OWNER BUILDING Complete Building Sydney  does NOT offer an owner builder advisory service. There is simply too much to advice. We believe what makes a good builder is the quality of his tradesman. You can be the best builder in the world but if you employ poor quality tradesman you will produce a poor quality product and in return have an  angry, upset client. Approximately 50% of any building project  budget is physical labor. Therefore you need to spend your budget wisely and invest it in quality, experienced tradesmen. What makes our tradesmen perform so well are the following: 1. They work for us repeatedly on repeated projects in some cases for  many years. This means they are happy, ensured of payment and will complete any maintenance items if they occur. Some trades do vary over time but when we find a good tradesmen we stick with them and don't change! 2. They have great experience. As we build such a wide range of projects and tradesmen also have gained a wide range of experience in their field that many of their competitors do not 3. Our tradesmen all know each other. Many of our staff are long time friends or relatives. This means that they will be considerate of the next trade when completing their own task, resulting in a better run job and a high quality product. 4. We have preferred tradesmen for each and every trade. We do have back-up tradesmen if we get busy but we have a group of preferred trades and they know who they are. This means they know if they quote the job competitively and complete the job well they will be virtually guaranteed of getting the next job. We do not screw down each subcontractor after they start the job or give the job to someone else because he is a few dollars cheaper which is the common complaint of the project home industry 5. Our head carpenter ”Daniel” is also the builder and only site supervisor or foreman on every job . Carpentry is the back bone of the domestic building industry. We believe you need good quality carpenters that work also as an on-site working foreman as well as carpenters. Daniel the builder and head carpenter assists our  framers, eaves fixers, fix out carpenters and is hands on with all tools to ensuse the highest quality.When owner building you need to use untested tradesmen on a one off project, which is a recipe for disaster.!!! Many tradesmen charge up to 20% more to owner builders or refuse to work for owner builders as projects are not as well organised and there is no chance of repeat work. Builders also receive large discounts (of up to 60%) on many of the structural materials. Owner builders legally have ALL of the same responsibilities of a licensed builder now and in the future. They cannot blame poor tradesmen for poor quality of work. They must guarantee all work under their control to any future home owners just like a licensed builder. We believe it is a better method to have the builder construct all structural elements and the owner supply minor finish items or complete non-structural work only, such as painting. ARCHITECTS & DRAFTSMEN When designing new building work you have a choice between engaging an architect or a draftsman, the difference being as follows: DRAFTSMAN These are usually TAFE college educated professionals who will design everything an architect can but at a much cheaper cost. A good draftsman will draw simple but clear plans. Draftsmen are perfect for simple additions when you need to match into existing work or for new homes when you already know basically what you want. When designing additions, if you have your existing house plans your final fees are likely to be much cheaper. Please be aware that there are many poorly qualified draftsman and architects out there. If your plans are not drawn to almost perfection the construction process will come across many problems, some which will be highly expensive to fix or alter. DESIGN Complete building Sydney now has numerous draftsmen & architects that we can utilise for every type of building project possible. From the simple one bedroom addition using old style hand drawn plans to the new 3D computer generated model plans to extremely detailed architect design detailed plans & specification with supervision for complex luxury designer homes. Each building project requires a different style of building designer. Building design in Australia is unregulated meaning anyone at all (e.g. even the local butcher) can design building plans and submit plans to council. This means there are many poor quality designers in every area of Sydney. Complete Building Sydney has spent many years sourcing & working with various building designers and now has an extensive list of reliable, cost effective designers to suit any building project. If you are planning a building project our advice is to call or email Daniel (the builder) with a brief outline of your proposed building project. He can then refer you to the most suitable and recommended building designer in your area that has experience with your type of project and construction knowledge of your method of construction. You can then choose to engage this building designer directly, obligation free at no charge or alternatively Complete Building Sydney  will oversee the designer to ensure they meet your requirements and design the project in the most practical and economical way. We believe building should be open in every way with no secrets or special contracts, just good old fashioned advise, that's free with NO obligations. At Complete building Sydney we give free advice & references to quality designers and you only sign a contract until you are completely satisfied. That's it, no tricks, no clauses, no exceptions !

Often old homes have been built using construction methods now deemed too expensive. There are many old homes built using full brick construction, hardwood or Oregon frames and rafters. Pitched roofs in lieu of trusses. Terra-cotta roof tiles. Hardwood strip floors. High ceilings with decorative ceiling linings or cornices. Many of these older houses are structurally very stable and suit extending onto or renovating rather than just knocking down and re-building an inferior product. In areas such as Pennant Hills, Turramurra, Hornsby, Five Dock there are many well built homes that would be much more practical to extend as these areas are full of structurally well built homes that just require some modern upgrades and special attention.

In most case’s we do not require owners to vacate the house while completing home extensions or renovations. We are experienced with working with clients living in their home during the building process and constantly considering their needs for privacy and maintaining security of their home. We allow owners to supply building materials directly, the most popular being bathroom fittings, ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and kitchen cooking appliances. We allow non-structural work by the owners (eg painting) or the use of nominated sub-contractors that the owners may know personally or have used previously.

We start any new building projects within  days of council approval and contract signing. Our quotes are very detailed and professionally presented. Our tradesmen onsite get a copy of the building quote (without the price) on site to ensure everyone knows exactly what is to be included in the building project.
