Real Duplex Projects. Real Investment Outcomes. Real Reviews.
Posted on Google Alicia MoraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged CKS Projects for a major renovation and second-storey addition to our Wollongong home. Having heard renovation horror stories from friends, we were cautious going in, but Keiron and his team exceeded our expectations at every stage. Project management was exceptional. Timelines were realistic from the outset, council approvals were handled smoothly, and we received regular updates throughout the build. When design variations were needed, Keiron provided practical solutions that stayed within budget parameters. The quality of workmanship stands out. Structural work, joinery, paintwork - every trade delivered to a high standard. Site cleanliness was maintained throughout, which made living through the renovation far more manageable than anticipated. What impressed us most was the transparency. No surprise costs, no cutting corners, just straightforward professional service from a Wollongong builder who clearly takes pride in their work. For anyone considering a custom build or major renovation on the South Coast, CKS Projects would be our first recommendation.Posted on Google Armanda NettletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an exceptional experience with CKS Projects from start to finish! The team was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced in delivering quality duplex home projects across the South Coast. Keiron and his team guided us through the entire building process with clear communication and genuine care - from initial design consultation through Wollongong council approvals to final construction completion. Their 25+ years of experience in Wollongong and the Illawarra region really showed in how smoothly everything progressed. The final build exceeded our expectations in both architectural design and workmanship quality. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was exceptional throughout our home. Highly recommend CKS Projects to anyone looking to build a dual occupancy home or any construction project on the South Coast.Posted on Google Samantha CarioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had the pleasure of supplying and installing custom joinery for CKS Projects on multiple homes across The Illawarra and the South Coast, and they remain one of our most trusted Wollongong builder partners. Keiron and his team understand what quality joinery requires - precise measurements, proper site preparation, and realistic timelines that don't compromise craftsmanship. They treat the joinery trade as the finishing art it is, not just another line item to rush through. What stands out most is their project management. Timelines are realistic, communication is clear, and site conditions are always well-prepared when we arrive. No surprises, no shortcuts - just professional collaboration that results in stunning finished homes. The custom kitchens and bathrooms we've created together showcase what's possible when quality builders and skilled tradespeople work as a true team. CKS Projects clients consistently love the final result, and that's the best outcome for everyone involved. If you're building a custom home and want a builder in Wollongong who values quality joinery and respects the trades, CKS Projects is the team to choose. We're proud to continue our partnership with them.Posted on Google Enzo LasalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have provided termite treatments and pest management for numerous CKS projects homes and they set the standard for how builders should approach pest preventionPosted on Google Clint PagetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the pleasure of working with Keiron and the CKS projects team throughout design, planning and construction stages of our recently completed renovation. At all times i found communication open and honest. Keirons experience provided direction during certain stages and made the whole process smooth and easy to navigate. The workmanship as a whole was completed to a high standard. Keiron and his teams attention to detail blended our new extension and renovated areas into the existing footprint incoproating the unique rooflines and allowing it all to flow seamlessly. Highly recomended and would certainly use again.Posted on Google jessica malliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great communication that was clear and well-managed kept us up to date throughout. Would highly recommend.Posted on Google Curtis RushTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had no idea how complicated council stuff could be with Shoalhaven City Council, but CKS Projects took care of everything from building permits to council inspections. Their project planning was meticulous. We now have a beautiful coastal home with a luxury finish and smart tech included.Posted on Google Joseph HagertyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After dealing with other Wollongong builders who just offered modified templates, we were relieved to find CKS Projects, who offer true custom home design. They collaborated with a local architect and handled all Wollongong council zoning and permit approvals efficiently. Our coastal style home in Thirroul features concrete, metallic finishes, custom wrought iron and timber, and feels like something out of a magazine. We are so pleased with the home and their professionalism.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Absolutely! We work with many excellent local architects and designers. We can:
– Build from your architect’s plans
– Provide design-and-build service with our in-house team
– Collaborate with your designer to ensure buildability and budget alignment
Whether you bring your own plans or work with our design team, we ensure the final result is beautiful, functional, and built to the highest standards.
Our clients have the option to select our services for a professional interior designer/ selection specialist to assist in all selections, design aspects and colour choices for your new home right down to the furnishings if so desired.
We recommend getting financial advice on what you can afford before embarking on this journey, we need to know this so we can advise you if your budget and dreams align!! We will be upfront and honest with you so you don’t waste your time and money designing a home you can’t afford to build.
This obviously depends on the scale of the renovation works; however we find that if there are no areas of the home left untouched and with adding extra rooms to the home generally speaking it may be more cost beneficial to knock down and rebuild. In most cases renovation works will expose some underlying issues with the existing house which ultimately results in additional unforeseen cost to the owners, like termite damage or foundation issues, electrical or plumbing issues, if your existing home is old or run down it would also be more beneficial to knock down and rebuild in the long run.
Starting from scratch gives you a blank canvas to design your dream home that is more suited to your lifestyle and needs rather than trying to adapt an existing home with its current layout and limitations.
I recommend this type of project when the existing home is no longer suitable or desirable due to factors such as age, condition, layout and you want to maximise the location.
You can customise the design of the new home to meet your needs and preferences— with options for size, layout, style, and materials.
It can allow you to start fresh with a modern, energy-efficient design that may help you save money on utility bills and maintenance costs in the long run. A new home allows you to have greater control over the design which can improve your quality of lifestyle.
Four key differences:
1. Local South Coast expertise (we know this region inside out)
2. Fixed-price contracts with transparent processes (no cost blow-outs)
3. Full project management with single point of contact (stress-free for you)
4. MBA approved with rigorous quality standards (peace of mind)
5. Personalised custom design (every home is unique to your family)
We’re not the cheapest builder – we’re the best value builder for quality-focused
families who want a stress-free building experience.
Not necessarily. We can help in several ways:
– Build on land you already own
– Knock-down rebuild on your existing property
– Provide advice on land selection before purchase
– Assess potential blocks for building suitability
Many clients come to us before purchasing land. We offer pre-purchase site assessments to help you avoid costly mistakes and find the perfect block for your dream home.
CKS Projects is a design and construction business that specialise in custom new home builds, we encourage you to make us your first point of contact, that way we can establish your needs and desires and get you started on the exciting journey of designing your new home. We work closely with our designers so we can provide you with support and suggestions on your plans from a professional builder’s perspective and make your designs are realistic to your budget.
No problem, as long as time permits and councils will allow it, we can make changes. Being a custom home builder specialist, this allows us the flexibility to make changes, we host regular site meetings to discuss any change request as we understand the importance of delivering the house of your dreams.
Yes, we encourage you to visit as we will host regular site meetings throughout the build with our clients to allow you to see the project evolve, we can also arrange an appointment on request with one of our representatives, you just need to let us know when so we can book this in.
We have a duty of care for all people entering the work site, so as long as you are accompanied by one of our representatives at all times during your visit, we can facilitate your request.
As our homes are architectural custom-built homes. A square metre rate can be very difficult and generally does not apply to us, this can change due to the level of finishes and the design criteria. No two homes we build are the same which means the m2 price is different for each home being built.
However, we do have other ways we can determine the expected cost of your custom dream home from any concept design saving you time and money designing a home over your budget.
