A builder you can reach
Ovas Build is an owner-run builder based in Wollongong, working across the Illawarra, Kiama, the northern Shoalhaven, the Southern Highlands and Macarthur. Granny flats, renovations and extensions, plus the kitchens, joinery and carpentry that go with them.
We keep it simple: one team, tidy sites, reliable local trades, and a fixed proposal so you know the scope and the cost before we start. Straight answers from the first call to the final clean-up.
Experienced
A Wollongong builder with more than ten years in residential construction.
One point of contact
You deal with the same team from the first visit to handover — no call centres, no runaround.
Fixed, clear pricing
A proper proposal with scope, inclusions and a timeline. No vague allowances or surprises later.
Built on doing it properly
Ovas Build started on the tools and grew into a full residential builder. Over more than ten years of work that began in Wollongong and the Illawarra and now reaches the Shoalhaven, the Southern Highlands and Macarthur, the approach hasn't changed: build it properly, keep the client in the loop, and stand behind the work.
These days we take on granny flats, renovations and extensions, along with the kitchens, bathrooms, carpentry and joinery that go with them. Big project or small, it's the same team and the same standard.
We handle the parts that trip people up, too — the design, the council approvals and the engineering — so you've got one builder carrying the whole job from the first site visit to handover.
Do it once, do it right
Set out square, built to code and finished properly. We'd rather take the time to get it right than come back to fix it.
One point of contact
You deal with the same team the whole way through — no being passed around, no chasing for answers.
Tidy, respectful sites
It's your home. We keep the site clean and safe, and leave it better than we found it.
Fixed, upfront pricing
A proper proposal before we start, with scope and inclusions spelled out. No vague allowances, no surprise invoices.
How a build runs with us
Five steps from the first phone call to handover — clear at every stage, with the approvals and engineering handled for you.
Site visit & options
We walk the block, check utilities, setbacks and access, and talk through what's possible and what it's likely to cost.
Design & approvals
We develop the drawings and handle the permits and engineering — CDC or DA — and lock in the floor plan, materials and finishes with you.
Fixed proposal
You get a clear, fixed proposal: scope, inclusions and a timeline, with no vague allowances or surprises down the track.
Construction
One team builds it with reliable local trades, a tidy site and steady progress updates so you always know where things are at.
Handover
We walk you through the finished build, hand over the manuals and documentation, and sort any final touch-ups promptly.
