What we build

From a single room
to the whole home.

01

Full home renovations

Tired house to dream home — reconfigure, restore and modernise, managed end to end.

02

Extensions & additions

Second storeys, rear extensions and granny flats that tie in like they were always there.

03

New custom homes

Your block, your brief — architectural new builds delivered to a fixed price and date.

04

Kitchens

Custom cabinetry, stone and the trades to match — the heart of the home, done right.

05

Bathrooms

Fully waterproofed, beautifully tiled, and built to last — without the leaks or the drama.

06

Outdoor & alfresco

Decks, pergolas and alfresco living that turn the backyard into the best room in the house.

Where a typical budget goes

How it works

Four steps,
no surprises.

Step 01

Consult

A free site visit and a real conversation about your brief, your block and your budget.

Step 02

Design & quote

Fixed-fee design and selections, then a single fixed-price contract — every line itemised.

Step 03

Build

One crew, weekly updates and a live schedule. The owner is on site, not on the phone.

Step 04

Handover

Independent inspection, a defect-free handover, and a 6-year structural warranty in writing.

One fixed price. One timeline. One point of contact — from the first sketch to the day you get the keys.

Owner-led. On the tools, on every site.

Who we are

A builder you can
actually reach.

True Line started with a simple frustration: good homes ruined by bad builders who vanish.

Eighteen years and two hundred homes later, we still run it the same way — one carpenter-owner who quotes the job, stands on the site, and answers the phone. Licensed trades, fixed prices, and a finish we'd put our own name on. Because we do.

“They turned a dark 1920s cottage into a home full of light without losing an ounce of its character.”
— R. & J. Marsh · Renovation
“Weekly updates, a tidy site, and a handover with zero defects. I'd build with them again tomorrow.”
