ABOUT

We’re a residential builder delivering bespoke homes and major renovations, extensions & additions across the NSW Central Coast and Northern Beaches.

Able Carpentry & Building is a residential building company specialising in high-end bespoke homes, major renovations, and complex additions.

Based on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Able Build works across the Central Coast, Northern Beaches and North Shore, delivering considered, well-executed homes in collaboration with homeowners and architects.

Led by licensed builder Daryl Hodgins, Able Build brings decades of hands-on construction experience to each project. Our work is defined by clarity, consistency and a high standard of finish – regardless of scale or complexity.

SERVICES

Every ABLE Build project is built with careful planning, decades of expertise and a reliable, professional team – leaving you with a defect-free, beautiful finish.

01

Consultation

Early-stage input for homeowners and collaboration with architects. We provide practical advice on buildability, cost and construction methodology to support informed decision-making from the outset.

02

New home builds

Residences built to suit site, brief and architectural intent. Each home is built to maximise quality of living, with an emphasis on proportion, durable materials and long-term performance.

03

‘Major’ Full Renovations

Full-scale transformations of existing homes, often involving reconfiguration, structural work and complete interior renewal. We work to retain what is worth keeping, while resolving the limitations of the original structure.

04

Additions and Extensions

Substantial additions, whether expanding outward or building upward. Our work integrates new and existing elements in a way that feels resolved, both structurally and visually.

INDOOR + OUTDOOR

Clever material and construction choices bring indoor and outdoor spaces together.

We love working closely with design leads to select materials and finishes that are beautiful, tactile, durable and perfectly suited to our east coast environment.

Living areas, bathrooms and kitchens are built to function well and nestle you in comfort.

When you step outside, the experience of a new build should extend to the outdoors – providing one, true sense of home. 

Our experience with Able Carpentry was great. They are easy to work with and quite flexible. The tradesmen were very polite and would recommend this company to anyone for their renovations.

Ramesh, Outdoor renovation, Tascott NSW

Daryl is courteous, approachable and always willing to find a solution to what at times may seem like an impossible task. Daryl's high quality workmanship and level of finish on all work he and his team does has meant our latest project is now also being undertaken by him.

Fiona | Complete renovation, Killara NSW

We are so happy and proud of our new kitchen and dining areas along with the pool and garden shed and the newly replaced decks. Our place feels like a resort!

Veronica | Complete renovation, Wheeler Heights NSW

His team of highly skilled tradesmen are always on time, complete the tasks assigned and most importantly ensure that the work area is left tidy at the end of the day so we could keep living in the property during the renovations. I would not hesitate to recommend ABLE Carpentry and Building to others; and in fact already have to many that have been similarly satisfied with his work.

FAQS

Let us answer your most popular questions

How do I choose the right builder for a major residential project?

Look for a builder with proven experience in projects of similar scale and complexity.

Clear communication, a structured process, and the ability to collaborate effectively with architects and consultants are essential to a well-executed outcome.

Do you work with architects, or can you be involved earlier in the process?

We regularly collaborate with architects and are often engaged during early planning stages.

Early involvement allows us to advise on buildability, cost and construction methodology before documentation is finalised.

We also simply meet with the owner if they have an idea or two! We’re happy to chat in person and help connect owners with architects or whoever else is needed to get the ball rolling… 

What types of indoor spaces do you build or renovate?

We construct and renovate kitchens, bathrooms, living and dining areas, bedrooms, staircases, laundries and full interior reconfigurations, including structural alterations and complete internal rebuilds.

What outdoor spaces do you typically deliver?

Our work includes terraces, large structural decks, pool areas, outdoor kitchens, landscaping structures, walkways and integrated entertaining areas, designed to connect seamlessly with the home and surrounding environment.

Do you take on smaller projects or standalone structures?

Our focus is on full-scale homes, major renovations and substantial additions.

We generally do not undertake smaller standalone works such as minor decks, pergolas or handyman-style projects.
