Short answer

In Turramurra, owners often compare Clover Homes, Domus Homes, Icon Homes and Sarelle Homes for custom homes, duplexes and knockdown rebuilds; Hall & Hart, which shows a knockdown rebuild in South Turramurra; Kongstruction for new builds, renovations and extensions from one team; Refined Group for the house, pool and garden together; and Marvel Homes for Passive House. AUD Build (this is us) has completed 5 homes in Turramurra, North Turramurra and South Turramurra through its group’s building companies since September 2024. Turramurra is in Ku-ring-gai: Council averaged 84 days to assess a DA in September 2026, three heritage conservation areas lie inside the suburb, the bushfire map covers parts of all three Turramurras, and a dual occupancy needs 1,015 m² outside the Local Housing Area around Turramurra station.

Why is AUD Build on this list?

AUD Build publishes this page and builds in Turramurra: its group’s building companies have completed 5 homes in Turramurra, North Turramurra and South Turramurra since September 2024. It is listed last and marked “This is us”. Facts about the other eight builders come only from their own websites.

How this list was built

Selection: builders whose own websites say they build in Turramurra or name its suburbs, drawn from Google Australia results for Turramurra builder searches on 28 October 2026. Directories and Buildana are excluded. Facts come only from each builder’s own website, read on 28 October 2026; “Best for” is AUD Build’s editorial summary of those facts. Prices, reviews and award claims are not published. The order is alphabetical, not a ranking. Council websites blocked automated reading, so heritage areas and bushfire mapping come from NSW Government spatial data and council planning papers. AUD Build publishes this page; if a builder’s details have changed, contact AUD Build and the page will be corrected.
