What areas do you service?

OnlyBuilds is based in Wilton and services the Macarthur region, South West Sydney, and the greater Sydney area.

Are you a licensed builder?

Yes. Rod Harvey holds NSW Builder's Licence 494196C.

What kind of building work do you do?

OnlyBuilds takes on new home builds and renovations, including bathroom and kitchen renovations, extensions, granny flats, and knockdown rebuilds.

How much building experience does Rod have?

Over 40 years in the industry. Rod started as an apprentice in 1986, ran his own carpentry business for 16 years, then spent close to two decades as a building supervisor and construction manager before founding OnlyBuilds.

How many homes has Rod built?

Hundreds of homes built or supervised over his career, including ten he's personally lived in.

Because projects are limited, how far in advance do I need to book?

This varies depending on current workload, but it's always good to get in touch so we can start the ball rolling on your project.

Do you offer drafting and council approvals?

Yes. OnlyBuilds has access to a drafting team who can also manage council approvals and the DA process on your behalf.

Do you offer fixed-price quotes?

Yes. OnlyBuilds can work on a fixed-price basis, as well as cost-plus or project management arrangements, depending on what best suits your project.

How do I get a quote?

Get in touch through the contact page or call 0424 389 440 to start the conversation about your project.

What trades and subcontractors do you use?

Every trade brought onto an OnlyBuilds project is one Rod trusts and personally supervises on site.

Do you offer a warranty on completed work?

Yes. All work is covered by the standard statutory warranty under the Home Building Act: six years for major defects, two years for all other minor defects. OnlyBuilds also offers a 26-week defects liability period, double the standard 13 weeks, giving you extra time after handover to identify and have any issues addressed.

How involved will I be during the build?

Clients are kept closely involved throughout. Rod's hands-on approach means direct, ongoing communication and access to the client portal in Wunderbuild.

Can I see examples of your past work?

Yes, a sample of completed builds and renovations is on the Gallery page, or by appointment to view previous client projects.
