Concept & design
We'll work your ideas up into something buildable, and bring in draftspeople we trust to draw it properly — the same people behind the Port Franklin Palace and The Nalubor.

What we do
Is your builder a Hilder?
The house that gets built should be the one you pictured — down to the trusses, the stone and the joinery.
Project management
Every aspect managed start to finish, so you don't have to. Trades, timelines, inspections and the awkward bits in between — and Mitch on site, not a supervisor you've never met.
Craftsmanship
The hard details are the point — five timber trusses hand-built on site and craned into place, stonework, hand-made bench tops. The things that set a house apart from the crowd.

Who you're dealing with
One builder, start to finish
Mitch Hilder is a local builder based in Toora, South Gippsland, with a passion for custom homes — the ones with five levels, or fifty metres of frontage, or a truss that has to be craned in. He works closely with clients to make those projects real.
Between the homes we keep room for work that needs real care — the Port Welshpool Long Jetty restoration, a bird hide on the rail trail. We're happy to introduce you to people we've built for, so you can hand your project over with confidence.
