Once approvals are in place, we lock in a clear timeline—and stick to it. You’ll also get access to our project tracking platform with live photo updates.

We work across Kiama, Gerringong, Gerroa, Jamberoo, Shellharbour, Berry, Nowra, and the wider Illawarra, Shoalhaven, and Southern Highlands.

We’re a local, family-owned company with a reputation built on trust, care, and delivery. Every team member—from carpenters to apprentices—operates by our values: excellence, integrity, communication, and attention to detail. We don’t just build houses. We build long-term relationships.

Yes—we tailor our approach to suit everything from bathroom upgrades to full-home renovations.

Our quote isn’t just a number on a page. You’ll receive a professionally bound booklet with itemised details of inclusions, allowances, and scopes of work—no smoke and mirrors. This makes it easy to compare quotes apples to apples, not apples to lemons.

Nope. If you’re at square one, our Dreams to Reality Package includes everything from design development to 3D renders.

We provide an initial consultation, and from there, our Pre-Construction phase includes detailed quoting, scope definition, and timelines.

Absolutely. One of our strengths is value engineering—helping you achieve your vision by prioritising what matters most. We’ll guide you on smart material choices, efficient layouts, and stages of work that fit your goals and budget.

At EDM Building, we don’t do vague estimates or “ballpark” quotes. Through our Vision to Value and Dreams to Reality pre-construction services, we provide a detailed, transparent pricing breakdown—right down to materials and labour. Our quotes are realistic, not optimistic. And if we can see ways to save you money without sacrificing quality, we’ll tell you.

Typically 4–6 weeks depending on complexity. This phase covers everything needed before building begins.

Our Pre-Construction Agreement includes site review, concept development, budget planning, selection guidance, architectural coordination, and a fixed-price quote.

This is a fair concern, and one we hear often. That’s why we break down every cost in a clear and open format. We also help you compare other quotes during our pre-construction meetings—explaining the gaps or shortcuts that might be hidden in a cheaper option.

Yes. We provide clear communication via your preferred method—calls, site visits, emails—plus milestone updates.

In some cases, yes—but it depends on the scope and safety of the project. We’ll help you weigh up cost, comfort, and disruption so you can make the best choice. If we think it’ll be a nightmare for you or your family, we’ll be honest and advise against it.

We follow a structured variation process—any changes are documented, repriced, and discussed with you before we move forward, so you stay in control.

Not if we can help it! We believe in respectful site etiquette. Our team minimises mess, noise, and parking issues—and if your neighbours have concerns, we’re happy to meet them. A smoother project starts with good relationships all around.

We know how disruptive building can be. That’s why we lock in clear start and finish dates once we have council approval, and we stick to them. You’ll always know what’s happening and when. Our project management software also allows you to track the build from wherever you are—right down to the photo updates.

We use our PSR approach—Problem, Solutions, Recommendation—to manage anything unexpected. You’ll be brought into the conversation early, so you're never blindsided.

EDM assigns a dedicated site supervisor, and Eli Maguire oversees all projects to ensure quality and communication are maintained.
