We take on six to eight houses a year, on the ridges between Bangalow and Federal.

Fixed price. One site manager. Every build visited weekly by the director.

Practice

Seventeen years on the same forty kilometres of ridge.

Halden Build Co. has worked Bangalow, Federal, Coorabell and Newrybar since 2009. We run six to eight houses a year and no more — the director is on every site every week, and that is the number that allows it. Most of our work comes from architects we have built for before, and from people who walked through a house we finished for someone else.

  • CapacitySix to eight builds a year, capped deliberately.
  • ContractsFixed price. Monthly cost reports, itemised to the trade.
  • TradesEleven core subcontractors, most with us over a decade.

How a Halden house goes up

  1. Stage 01

    Foundations

    Site cut, piers and slab. Four to six weeks, weather depending.

  2. Stage 02

    Framing & Roofing

    Frame up, trusses set, roof on. The house takes its shape in about three weeks.

  3. Stage 03

    Roof & Interiors

    Lock-up, then linings, joinery and finishes. The longest stage by a distance.

  4. Stage 04

    Landscaping

    Driveway, planting, handover. We come back at three months and at twelve.
