Rural Builds
& Farm Projects
Built for the land. Built to last.
Living rural means thinking differently — your home and buildings need to work hard, handle the elements, and be built with purpose.

Rural Building FAQs
Got questions about building on rural land?
We’ve got answers.
From sheds and cowsheds to lifestyle homes and fencing, rural builds come with a different set of challenges — and opportunities. As both builders and farmers, we understand what it takes to get the job done right. Here are some of the most common questions we get from clients living and working on the land.
Do you work on remote or hard-to-access rural sites?
Yes, we do. As farmers ourselves, we understand the challenges that come with rural builds — including long driveways, tricky access, and weather delays. We’ll assess your site early on and plan accordingly to keep things moving smoothly.
Can you build cowsheds or milking facilities?
Absolutely. We’ve worked on a range of agricultural projects, including cowsheds and farm-related structures. We’ll work with you to ensure functionality, durability, and a layout that supports daily farm operations.
Do I need council consent for rural buildings?
In most cases, yes — particularly for new dwellings, cowsheds, or any structures with plumbing, drainage, or significant size. We’re experienced in handling council consents and can manage this process for you.
Do you offer full project management for rural builds?
Yes. From engaging subcontractors (like electricians and plumbers) to organising inspections and timelines, we can manage the entire process for you — or work alongside you if you’d prefer a more hands-on role.
Can you help us design our rural build?
We sure can. We work with experienced draftspeople and can help you design a home, shed, or sleepout that’s fit for purpose and suits your land. We’ll also offer honest advice about what will work best for your site and lifestyle.
What kinds of fencing do you build?
We offer stock fencing, post-and-rail, boundary fencing, and custom solutions for lifestyle and working farms. Let us know what you need and we’ll recommend the best approach for your land and animals.
What makes you different from other rural builders?
We’re not just builders — we’re farmers too. That means we understand the day-to-day realities of rural life, from stock safety to practical layouts. We take a down-to-earth approach, offer straight-up advice, and stand by the quality of our work.
