Sunshine Coast Builders · 20+ Years
Custom Homes & Renovations
Independent Building Group works with homeowners across the Sunshine Coast on full-scale renovations, extensions and custom new builds, led by the same experienced team from the first conversation through to handover.
Why it matters
Building or renovating, the way it should be.
A great result comes down to a few things we never compromise on.
Communication you can count on
You work with an owner-led team that keeps you informed from the first idea through to handover.
Transparent pricing and clear timelines
We cost transparently and schedule realistically from the start, so you always know where your project stands.
Quality built into every detail
Our strong relationships with carefully selected trades, suppliers and consultants ensure we deliver a seamless building experience and exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish.
Our work
Two decades of premium homes, renovations and outdoor living across the Sunshine Coast.
Who we work with
Full-scale projects, done properly.
We intentionally limit the number of projects we undertake to ensure every home receives the time, care and attention it deserves. We may be the right fit for you if:
- Building a forever home on the Sunshine Coast
- Renovating or extending a home you love
- After a premium, custom result, not a template
