About

Est.1989 Byron Bay

After 7 years designing custom passive solar homes in the Sierra mountains of California and years in Sydney working on large scale commercial projects it was time for a sea change to Byron Bay.

Over the last 30 or so years my passion for sustainable design has developed from a one man band into a small boutique business, which has grown from modest alterations and additions to award winning residential custom homes and multi unit developments in the local areas.

Over this time period, we have been the recipient of many awards both from the HIA and MBA for ‘major alterations and additions’ to ‘house of the year’.

One Stop Shop

Combining award design skills, extensive knowledge and experience in the building industry and a history of dealing with the local Councils and consultants makes Byron Design and Construction an ideal one stop shop for clients who want a hassle free building experience.

Current Building Climate: In this unique period at present there are many challenges to the construction industry that are affecting costing and scheduling, we are aware of these issues and offer flexible solutions to our clients.

Environment & Community

Over the years we have worked closely with the community on major issues of concern and the social impacts created.

We encourage a caring approach to our environment when designing for clients, we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and we want to contribute to keeping it that way.

Rory and the team at Byron Design and Construction helped me to remake my dated 90's brick house into a stylish and modern open plan home. Rory took my original thoughts and added his own design ideas and tips, giving me time to think without pressure. I eventually went along with pretty much everything he suggested, and I'm so glad I did! The result has far exceeded anything I would have done myself. We opened up a whole external wall of the house, letting in the light and breeze, making the beautiful natural setting a feature, and doubling the size of the living spaces, plus installing a new deck, flyover roof and pool landscaping. This was a significant renovation that involved multiple stages. Throughout the whole, Rory's team were a pleasure to have around. They approached every aspect of the design and build with an artisanal thoughtfulness and attention to detail, listened to my questions or concerns without making me feel like I was bothering them, and kept me informed at each stage. Plus the site was always left tidy and organised, even in the middle of some of the heaviest construction. Rory and his team are my 'go to' builders. I love their work!

I highly recommend Rory and the team at Byron Design and Construction. Always professional, friendly, transparent with costs and competitive in price.

I couldn’t have been happier with the experience or result of my build with Rory. He was easy and lovely to deal with, managing the build super efficiently, maintaining constant and timely contact and updates. He had a great network of local contractors & suppliers that delivered a high quality job, on time and in a respectful manner onsite. Highly recommend.
