Our process ensures no surprises through direct builder-client relationships and quality materials that maintain value over time, with a focus on practical living spaces for families or investors.

We prioritise minimal disruption during construction and ensure enhanced property value through quality craftsmanship that matches your home's original character and modern requirements.

We knew we wanted a walk in robe and a bay window, but really had no idea about how that would look or what to do with our limited space. Craig from Shire build’s vision was incredible, the quote was fair and the communication great. We are so incredibly happy with the workmanship and dedication from Mitch and blown away by Shire builds honesty when Craig told us the quote was too high and we would be spending less than the quote!!!!
Thankyou, we cannot recommend you guys enough

Report
Shire Build was recommended to us for our home renovation which included a second story addition. From our very first meeting with Craig we felt comfortable and knew we would be in safe hands. From start to finish, Craig, Billy and team kept us up-to-date with how things were progressing, as well as what was coming up and decisions we needed to make to ensure things stayed on track (and we thought we were super organised!). Through regular on-site meetings we were able to see how our new home was coming to life as well as ask any questions and for their opinions and recommendations when it came

Working with Craig and his team was the best renovation experience we could have asked for. From the initial design and quote stage we were immediately impressed. Our house had a lot of quirks and unusual… design features which Craig helped us change and modernise. His wealth of experience and creative solutions instilled so much trust from the get go. He helped us put our stamp on our home and make it feel more like ours and not just somewhere we lived. The build team that worked on our renovation were fantastic! Professional, friendly, organised and the job was finished to a very high

" We had explored several builders before discovering Shirebuild but from the moment we met Craig we immediately felt we were in safe hands. His quiet, measured and organised approach gave us confidence that our renovation would be equally well planned, fastidious and coordinated and it was! The team at Shirebuild are excellently skilled and professional in every way, offering good advice during the build that only comes from years of knowledge and experience. Its a testament to Craig and his team that any hurdles that did arise (as is often the case with renovations on older houses
