What we do

Six things we do better than anyone on the block

From the first footing to the final walkthrough, every trade stays under one roof - so there's one number to call and one team accountable.

  1. 01

    Commercial Construction

    Ground-up offices, retail, warehouses and mixed-use builds - managed end-to-end with structural steel, concrete and tight fit-out scheduling.

  2. 02

    Custom Home Building

    Architect-grade family homes built to spec - from slab and frame to joinery and landscaping, with one site manager from day one to handover.

  3. 03

    Renovations & Extensions

    Knock-down rebuilds, second storeys and full interior gut-outs - we work clean around occupied spaces and keep the dust where it belongs.

  4. 04

    Civil & Site Works

    Excavation, drainage, retaining walls and hardstand - the heavy groundwork that makes every build above it stand straight for decades.

  5. 05

    Project Management

    Fixed-price contracts, live cost tracking and weekly site reports - so you always know where the budget, the trades and the timeline stand.

  6. 06

    Design & Build

    One contract from concept to keys - our in-house drafting team values, engineers and prices your build before a single trench is dug.

How it works

From handshake to handover in four steps

No surprises, no runaround. Here's exactly how your build moves from a phone call to a finished, certified job.

  1. 1

    Consult & quote

    We visit the site, talk scope and budget, then come back with a clear fixed-price quote and a realistic program - usually within five working days.

  2. 2

    Design & approvals

    Our drafting team locks in drawings, engineering and permits, so the build hits the ground compliant and ready - no costly stop-work surprises.

  3. 3

    Build & manage

    One dedicated site manager runs every trade to the program, with weekly progress reports and live cost tracking you can check any time.

  4. 4

    Handover & warranty

    We walk the finished build with you, hand over certificates and manuals, and back the structure with a six-year workmanship warranty.

Who we are

A family builder with an industrial backbone

Ironside started in 2004 with one ute, two tradesmen and a reputation to build. Two decades on we're 68 strong - carpenters, concreters, steel fixers and project managers - but the rule hasn't changed: do it once, do it right, hand it over clean.

We self-perform our concrete, framing and steel so quality never gets lost in a chain of subbies. When Ironside signs the contract, Ironside is on the tools.

Word on site

Owners, developers and homeowners who'd hire us again

  • "Ironside took our office build from a muddy lot to a certified handover three weeks early. Weekly reports meant I never had to chase a single answer."

  • "They reframed and added a second storey while we still lived downstairs. Clean site every evening, fixed price held to the dollar. Genuinely rare."

    Portrait of Priya Anand Priya Anand Homeowner, Seaview Renovation
  • "Heavy civil works are unforgiving and Ironside's earthworks crew hit every level and every deadline. Their site management is best-in-class, full stop."
