• At Dependabuild, we help our clients to realise their home’s true potential by adding value with our professional approach and reliable builders. Our team includes a strong network of certified designers, electricians, plumbers, painters and other trades who we use regularly to ensure your renovation is confidently completed to the highest of standards.

  • We have a combination of builders and trades who reside in the Northern Beaches and Upper North Shore.

  • We liaise with our clients to ensure a complete understanding of their expectations.

    An itemised Scope of Work is provided which contains work details, schedules, terms and expected outcomes.

    Our contract is professionally provided by the Master Builders Association of NSW. The advantage of using a Master Builders Contract is that the contract is regularly updated and includes all relevant Commonwealth and state or territory building laws applicable for your specific project. Builders who are part of the MBA must have a strong level of knowledge and skill within their trade and work according to a strict Code of Conduct.

  • Sustainably sourced products are standard throughout NSW and all of our construction materials are obtained within NSW for any sustainable home renovation.

    We can also provide you with ideas throughout your build to reduce the ongoing effects of greenhouse gasses on our planet using techniques from our designers.

  • Yes. We can provide you with our designer to help incorporate whatever style of renovation you are looking for.

  • We can provide you with designers, engineers and trades to ensure the renovation is structurally sound and completed within your expectations and for your enjoyment in years to come.

  • Shane is on-site and available by email to answer your questions. He is also available on Mobile during business hours (8 am- 5 pm Monday to Friday).

  • We take the time to ensure the Scope of Works is solid and well mapped out, clarity is key throughout this process as changing your mind during a fixed price project can become expensive for the client.

    We offer the alternative of using a cost-plus contract if the Scope of Works may change throughout the build to help meet changing budgets.

    We encourage our customers to have a clear understanding of what they require and to utilise our designers. This way they are comfortable with their renovation before the build commences and have a clear understanding of the outcome and what to expect.

  • It depends on the renovation. If you are remodelling your home to a large extent, there may be many disruptions that would inconvenience you throughout the process. All plumbing and electrical works will require water and electricity to be turned off for a period of time, which may be challenging to your daily routine. Noise, dust and odours such as paint fumes could also be uncomfortable to tolerate at times, although we do put in place healthy work practices to provide a comfortable workspace for our staff as well as for you, our clients.

    It is recommended to talk to Shane prior to the work commencing to help you to understand the level of disruption the renovation may generate.

  • Wood, Steel, Concrete, Stone, Brick, Composite Wood and recycled materials.
