High-end new homes and considered renovations first, with knockdown rebuilds, sloping blocks and duplexes when the site calls for them. One team and one fixed-price contract for each.
A high-end home designed for one household and one site, not a catalogue plan adjusted at the edges, priced in full before you sign.
Custom homes in Sutherland ShireHigh-end whole-of-house renovations and refurbishments, with the hidden problems priced before the contract rather than found mid-job.
Home renovations in Sutherland ShireA new level on the home you already love, starting with the structure: footings and frame assessed before anything is drawn.
Second-storey additions in Sutherland ShireRear living and ground-floor extensions that work with the existing house, its structure and its block.
Home extensions in Sutherland ShireDemolish the house you own and build a new one designed for the same block, with the demolition, approvals and build under one fixed-price contract.
Knockdown rebuilds in Sutherland ShireSplit-level and stepped homes engineered for the fall of the land, starting from the geotechnical report rather than a flat-site plan.
Sloping block homes in Sutherland ShireTwo homes on one block, planned around the lot, the approval pathway and the title you want, from feasibility to handover.
Duplexes and dual occupancy in Sutherland ShireThe first question most people ask is which Sutherland Shire builders are reliable. These six checks answer it, and here is how we measure up on each.
Look the builder up on the NSW licence register. Ours is CKS Projects Aust Pty Ltd, contractor licence 258735C (Builder).
Home building compensation cover is required for residential work over $20,000, and must be in place before the builder takes a deposit.
Ask whether the contract is genuinely fixed or holds provisional sums. Ours is a detailed fixed-price tender, priced before you sign.
A sales representative, or the builder? Keiron Moore runs our site assessments himself.
Look for completed projects and recent reviews. Ours are on this page, each project with its real location: see recent work and reviews.
In NSW, residential work over $5,000 needs a written contract, and the deposit is capped at 10%.
From the first site visit to handover, you deal with one team that manages design, approvals and construction, whether it's a new custom home or a major renovation of the one you have.
A message from Keiron MooreFounder and Managing Director, CKS Projects · NSW Licence 258735C
Every block and every house is different, so we don't publish square-metre rates. Your fixed-price tender is built from the things that actually vary.
Steep blocks need engineered footings, retaining and often a split-level design. Reactive soil changes the slab.
A narrow frontage or a steep driveway affects machinery and deliveries.
Storeys, floor area, roof form and glazing.
Joinery, materials and selections, chosen with you and priced in the tender.
For renovations and extensions, what's behind the walls (asbestos, wiring, footings) is investigated before the price is fixed.
A DA takes longer than a CDC, and heritage, bushfire or foreshore controls add documentation.
The price only changes after contract if you choose to vary the design or inclusions yourself. More detail: the building cost guide and the Sutherland Shire approvals guide.
If you love where you live, there are three ways to a better home. A side-by-side comparison so you can decide which suits yours.
| Question | Renovate | Buy elsewhere | Knock down rebuild |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keep your suburb and school zone | Yes | No | Yes |
| Stamp duty | None | Yes, on the purchase | None, because you already own the land |
| Wiring, plumbing and footings | Old, unless you replace them | Whatever the house came with | All new, engineered for the new home |
| Floor plan | Limited by the existing structure | Someone else's design | Designed for your block and family |
| Cost certainty | Hidden problems surface once walls come down | Purchase price, plus any work you need | Fixed price agreed before demolition |

Reviews from CKS Projects clients, the team that builds for Builders Sydney Experts.
“They made what can be the most stressful thing people ever do an absolute breeze. We were walked through every stage and there was no request that was an issue… The attention to detail is incredible.”
“Keiron oversaw a very complex build on a difficult site and he accomplished this with extraordinary attention to detail… Nothing was too much trouble for Keiron and he kept us fully updated with any issues that arose.”
“From helping us through the design stage to the professional way our job was managed. The end result met all our expectations and was delivered on time and on budget.”
Homeowners in Woonona, Warilla and Wombarra, on the Illawarra coast, on what building with the CKS Projects team was really like.
“We were delighted with the constant updates and transparency… The home has exceeded our expectations and we now call Keiron a friend.”
John and Renee
“Before the build we didn’t really have a space to entertain. Now we have this open space, heaps of light, and everything has its place.”
Terri
“The result is a breathtaking cliff-top retreat that balances timeless luxury with the clients’ vision for their forever home.”
Mike Vail, Architect
Six stages, one team and one contract, for a new home or a renovation, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
We talk through your block, your brief and your budget before anyone visits. If the project isn't right for us, or a different approach suits you better, we say so on the call.
Keiron Moore walks your block: slope, access, soil indicators, orientation, existing services, and anything that affects the approval pathway with Sutherland Shire Council.
A design developed around your block and how your household lives, with 3D renderings and a virtual walk-through so you can check the layout before anything is built.
Working drawings, engineering and BASIX prepared as one package, then a detailed fixed-price tender before any contract is signed.
Lodged as a complying development certificate with a certifier or council, or as a development application to council, depending on the pathway your site qualifies for, and managed to determination.
Built by the CKS Projects team and its trades, with regular site meetings and an online client portal showing the schedule and the latest site photos, through to handover.
Keiron Moore leads the CKS Projects team of builders, designers and project managers. Keiron runs every site assessment himself, in Sutherland Shire too, and every client deals with him directly.
“The journey to your dream home is just as important as the finished result, built with trust, care, and vision.”
Keiron Moore, Managing Director
