About Us

From the first sketch to handing you the keys, Family Home has been delivering one-stop design and build services for over 30 years in Sydney.

That expertise in building informs our initial conversations with our clients so that we propose design ideas that fit brief, budget and constructability.

Our transparent process ensures informed and excited clients who thoroughly enjoy being a part of the evolution of their family home.

As they grow over time, families often want more out of their homes and these buildings need to keep up with the demands of contemporary Sydney life.

It’s our opinion that homes set the scene for family success stories and they should honour the people that experience their life journey within its walls.

We can help to create these scenes by providing high quality design, extensions and renovations.

Family Home designs and builds for the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Eastern Suburbs. We’ve completed renovations up north in Mt Colah as well as just past the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Bondi. If you’d like us to set your renovation in motion, now is the time to let us know.
