Most houses barely meet code. Ours meet your needs. At Amity Builders, we build homes that feel good to live in. Ones that are calm, comfortable, and quietly high-performing. Based in the Illawarra (Dharawal Country), we specialise in architecturally designed, high performance and Passivhaus new builds and major renovations. We're passionate about building better and have an eye for the details most people don’t see (but definitely feel).

Here's what it's like to have us as your builder: We get involved before plans are locked in to help you and your architect/designer align design, budget, and performance from the start. Our Pre-Construction Process gives you clarity and fixed pricing, so there are no wild budget blowouts or hidden compromises down the track.

Led by builder Todd Ackerman, we’re a small, thoughtful team that’s big on doing things properly. We care about the science behind a well-built home, because meeting code isn't good enough. We're proud to raise the building industry bar in Australia by delivering high performance and certified Passivhaus projects.

But more than that, we care about you. Your family, your goals, your lifestyle; the things that turn a project into a partnership. We’re in it for the long haul, and we stick around well after the keys are handed over.

If you believe your home should support your wellbeing, reflect your values, and perform for generations, let's connect!
