New Homes
For more than 40 years O'Mara has been building custom new homes of a wide range of size and designs, from small economical country style houses to large prestigious multi-million dollar luxury homes. We have built heritage period style houses, pole homees, modern contemporary designs, complex architectural projects under architect or project management supervision. We built 8 houses for MLLVC (Mirvac Lend Lease Village Consortium) for the Sydney 2000 Olympic games. We were the first contract builder employed at the village after numerous project home builders failed to complete their homes to the strict quality assurance program demanded by the project management team As our motto says "We build homes, NOT houses !" We can show our clients how to customise their home building project by selecting inclusions (from any supplier), make economical design changes or use alternate building methods or materials to peronalise their building project. Our carpenters are full-time staff who are friendly and approachable. Our tradesmen all know each other and consider how their work will affect the next trade. Many of these are long time friends or relatives. We pride ourselves on completing quality work and taking on unusual or difficult projects.

Our service area includes all of the Sydney Metro area, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast. Being based at Mulgrave (near Windsor) makes us Central to all of these areas. We also have carpentry crews located from Colo, Penrith, Bateau Bay, Carlingford and Windsor making access to jobs easy. We have recently had experience in approving new homes being built in high bushfire risk "flame zone" areas, which have special requirements. Knock-down and rebuilds can be completed by any competant builder. Only the demolition cost needs to be added to the tender price. Owners should be aware of any companies offerings this as a type of special service as it really not that special or unique.
