Bespoke Homes

Custom homes designed around the way you live. Most clients come to us with an architect engaged and drawings well advanced, and our job is to build precisely what that team has drawn.

We take the project from site preparation through to final certification, coordinating trades, suppliers, and consultants so the detail on the drawings survives the build. Where the structure can be simplified without changing the design intent, we'll tell you, because that's usually where budget gets freed up for the finishes you'll live with every day.

What's Included

Site preparation, demolition where required, and excavation

Structural framing, services rough-in, and lock-up

Coordination with your architect, engineer, and interior designer throughout

Trade and supplier management across every stage

Inspections and certifications booked ahead of the program

Full finishing works and final handover walkthrough

Modern living room with curved glass wall, wooden chairs, marble table with candlestick, and city view.

Alterations & Additions

The best renovations respect what's already there while making it better. That means understanding what the existing structure can carry, what it can't, and where the opportunities sit before anything comes out.

We handle the complex end of this work: multi-floor additions, extensions, basement excavations, and reconfigured load-bearing walls. Where the scope allows, we sequence and stage the build so you can stay living in the home while it happens, and we manage the site so the disruption to you and your neighbours stays as contained as possible.

What's Included

Structural assessment of the existing home before work begins

Demolition, excavation, and underpinning where required

New structural framing, load-bearing reconfiguration, and roof works

Integration of new services with the existing home

Coordination with your architect, engineer, and interior designer throughout

Inspections and certifications booked ahead of the program

Full finishing works and final handover walkthrough

Modern kitchen with wood cabinetry, brick wall, island with stools, dining table, and cushioned bench seating.

Project Advisory

Some owners already have a builder, or are running a project that needs experienced eyes on it rather than another contractor. Project Advisory is for those situations. We act on your side of the table, representing your interests across the project rather than delivering the construction ourselves.

That means coordinating your consultants, keeping the budget under control, managing procurement so nothing stalls the program, and solving problems on site before they turn into variations or delays. Where quality slips, we call it. Where a decision needs making, we give you the information to make it properly.

What's Included

Consultant coordination across architect, engineer, and specialist trades

Budget management and cost tracking through the project

Procurement of long-lead items and materials

Program management and schedule oversight

Client representation in dealings with the builder and consultants

Quality control at each stage of the works

How We Solve This

The tarraco build protocol is what makes your project predictable

Discuss Your Project

Honest pricing from day one

Every provisional sum reflects what your build will actually cost, priced at what it genuinely takes to deliver. If variations arise, we price honestly upfront and raise anything that changes with you before the work proceeds.

Programs that hold

We build realistic programs and work hard to hold them, adding labour where it helps recover lost time. Where a date genuinely shifts, you know as soon as we do, with the reason and the plan to deal with it.

Team built for accountability

Tarraco runs as a structured team, not a one-person show. Every role has an owner, every decision has a trail, and every issue has someone responsible for resolving it. That structure is why we still deliver after 14+ years in an industry where most builders don't.

Our Process

The seven stages every project moves through

Discuss Your Project

Discovery

We start by understanding your brief, your site, and what you want the finished home to do for you. This is where we work out whether we're the right fit for the project.

Feasibility Review

We assess the site, the design, and the constraints to confirm what's genuinely buildable, flagging issues early while they're still cheap to solve.

Budget Planning

We build a realistic budget around actual costs, not optimistic placeholders, so the number you plan around is the number you build to.

Design Coordination

We work alongside your architect, designer, and engineers to align the design with the budget and the build, resolving conflicts before they reach the site.

Procurement

We lock in trades, materials, and long-lead items in advance, so nothing stalls the program once construction begins.

Construction Delivery

Your build runs under a structured team with weekly client meetings & daily site management, on a program we commit to and hold.

Completion & Handover

We walk the finished home with you, resolve anything outstanding before you receive the keys, and stay available for whatever comes up after you move in.

Alterations & Additions

Bespoke Homes

"My greatest concern was choosing the wrong builder, someone who overpromised and underdelivered or failed to uphold quality. Tarraco distinguished themselves through their professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail. Elie and the team invested significant time understanding our goals, every commitment was followed through, and the quality of workmanship consistently exceeded expectations. Choosing Tarraco was one of the best decisions we made during our building journey."

Alterations & Additions

"We hired Elie to renovate the ground floor of our house. His knowledge and experience were invaluable, and he talked us through the process every step of the way. He's prompt, reliable, and flexible, with many contacts in the industry. He pulled together various tradies at short notice, with our patio doors even installed on Christmas Eve. I'd highly recommend Tarraco and Elie."

Steve

Seaforth, NSW

Alterations & Additions

"I can't speak of Elie and Tarraco highly enough. His reliability, honesty, and skill meant the journey was far smoother and less stressful than I could have hoped for. Elie kept me informed every step of the way, was always available to answer questions, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The project was completed on time and on budget, and the results are fantastic."

Natasha

Earlwood, NSW

Alterations & Additions

"From start to finish Elie was just amazing and made our entire renovation easy. He went above and beyond. We had no idea what we were doing, and Elie talked us through everything, was readily available the entire time, and understanding. He truly made the whole experience really enjoyable. We'll definitely re-hire for any further renovations."

Erica

"My biggest worry was getting stuck with the wrong builder. Anyone can talk a good game, but I was concerned about budget blowouts, delays, and a result that didn't match the vision. Tarraco were straight shooters. No fluff, no overpromising. They communicate well, deliver quality work, and do what they say they're going to do. That's pretty rare these days."

Steven Barkho

Bondi Beach, NSW

Alterations & Additions

"As someone who regularly recommends builders to clients, my biggest concern is quality. What stood out about Tarraco was their focus on quality and accountability. They were transparent, communicated clearly, and paid attention to the details that often get overlooked. Tarraco is a builder I'd feel comfortable recommending to my own clients, and in an industry where quality varies significantly, that gives us a lot of confidence."

"The biggest difference is accountability. A lot of builders disappear once challenges arise, but Tarraco leans into problems, communicates early, and focuses on finding solutions. Our reputation is everything, so we don't refer people lightly. I know that if I introduce a client to Tarraco, they'll be looked after properly. That gives me confidence putting my name behind the recommendation."

Steven Barkho

Managing Director at PRIME Estate Agents NSW

"What stands out about Tarraco is that they genuinely understand what owner-occupiers want, not just what looks good in a brochure. A lot of builders focus on finishes, but Tarraco puts equal emphasis on functionality, liveability, and long-term quality. They share the same commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term value that we do, which is why we have no hesitation recommending them."

Bianca Field

Director at Bought Agency, Buyers Agents

"Across the builders we've worked with, Tarraco stands out for their attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine commitment to a high-quality architectural outcome. On our Glebe House project, they worked carefully through details and resolved issues properly before they became problems on site. We're confident recommending Tarraco because they respect the design process and take real pride in the finished result."

Matthew Young

Director at 3EM Architects

"Elie and Tony are proactive. They frequently take the first step in proposing solutions where they see problems and potential for efficiency. They're invested and have a good understanding of the product they're trying to achieve. They're honest about what they can deliver and take pride in their work. Their care for quality is evident, and they're always respectful and easy to work with."
