What If You Could Build With Confidence (Not Crossed Fingers)?
Many professional builders simply price drawings.
We don’t - we join your building team early.
Why? Because most stress happens before construction even begins.
We help you understand where your money is best invested, and where it isn’t. We provide regular budget updates throughout construction.
That’s how you avoid scrambling near completion.
That’s how you build with confidence.

For Homeowners Who Appreciate the Finer Details
"Brett had me at 'how long is your towel?' when deciding on where to put towel rails. This attention to detail was present at every stage of our bathroom build. All the tradesmen who worked with Brett were also respectful and genuinely nice people to have around. Brett is a gem and I'm a little reluctant to share him as we have another project next year that we'd like him to work on. But sharing is caring."
Tracy Richardson

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t you offer free quotes?
Because quoting properly takes real work.
In today’s building industry, taking plans and throwing out a quick number with wide allowances helps no one. It creates false expectations and often leads to budget blowouts later.
Instead, we work collaboratively with you during our pre-construction planning phase to test buildability, align your design with your budget, and provide realistic cost clarity early.
That’s how we protect your investment and your peace of mind.
Do you offer volume builds or house and land packages?
No.
We are not a volume builder and we don’t offer pre-designed house and land packages.
North Bay Building specialises in custom new home builds and major renovations across the Northern Rivers region. Every project is individually considered, custom designed, and completed to a high standard using quality materials suited to local conditions.
We build dream homes.
What building services do you offer?
We focus on:
- PAC process offering
- Custom new home builds
- Major renovations and extensions
- Additional dwellings and secondary residences
Whether you’re building a family home in Lennox Head or planning a major renovation in Brunswick Heads, our approach remains structured, collaborative and detail-driven.
Isn’t building a new home stressful?
It can be... with the wrong builder.
Stress usually comes from poor communication, unclear cost tracking, unstructured scheduling, or decisions made without proper consultation.
Brett saw this firsthand working across the building industry before starting North Bay Building. He made a decision never to run projects that way.
Today, we’re known across the Northern Rivers for:
- Prompt, respectful communication
- Transparent updates on budget and variations
- Clear timelines aligned from day one
- A tidy, well-managed site
- A genuinely friendly, professional team
Building your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. We treat it with the care it deserves.
Who will actually manage and construct my project?
Brett, the director of North Bay Building, is directly involved in managing every project.
With over 10 years of experience in the building industry and projects delivered across Northern NSW, he provides hands-on, owner-led project management.
You’re not handed off to a supervisor you’ve never met.
You deal directly with the person accountable for quality and delivery.
Are you licensed and insured in New South Wales?
Yes.
North Bay Building is a fully licensed building company operating in New South Wales.
We carry the appropriate insurance and meet all regulatory requirements.
Builder’s Licence: 250078C.
This ensures your project is compliant, protected and professionally managed from start to final handover.
What areas do you service?
We deliver projects across Lennox Head, Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads, Suffolk Park and the wider Northern NSW region.
Our focus is the Northern Rivers, where we can remain hands-on, present on-site, and maintain the high standard we’re known for.
If you’re unsure whether your location falls within our service area, contact our team today and we’ll confirm suitability for your project.
What are the first steps to working with you and when do I commit?
The first step is to request a call and outline what you’re looking to achieve.
We’ll discuss where you’re at in your building journey, review your site or existing plans, and determine whether we’re the right fit.
Commitment begins when we move into structured feasibility, buildability testing and cost planning, not at the first conversation.
That way, both parties enter the build aligned, informed and confident.
What’s the first step to working with North Bay Building?
The first step is a conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, your site and your expectations to determine whether we’re the right fit for your project. From there, we guide you through a clear, well-planned pathway forward.
