Building Versatility - Southern Highlands - Why Choose Us

The idea sprouted at a family dinner

The unique concept of Building Versatility was first mapped out on a restaurant napkin by Jennifer and Richard while their families were enjoying dinner at a local restaurant.

The two families enjoyed a new friendship ignited by a special bond between both family’s young daughters. Jennifer and Richard soon uncovered their shared family values and passion for construction, and the road ahead became clear.

From that day on, there was no stopping the growth of Building Versatility! We have since surrounded ourselves with a formidable team of experts in council development processes, energy efficiency, agricultural construction, traditional architecture and design, bolstering our process and futureproofing our outcomes.

Building in the Southern Highlands isn’t just a job; it’s a passion. We love the smell of fresh country air, the warmth of a close-knit community, the “Hi, how are the kids?” greetings at our local grocery store, and the beauty of preserving tradition.
