Your local home builders

Proudly building Goulburn & surrounds

Having spent more than 35 years building, and delivering over 350 homes across regional New South Wales, Dave O’Brien has been building under his own name since 1999. He is now joined by his son Rhys, who holds multiple trade qualifications across carpentry and plumbing and is stepping into the running of the business.

When you build with Wattle Court, you work directly with Dave and Rhys and a team who all live local and understand the needs and lifestyles of Highlands and Goulburn families.

Dave and Renee were drawn to the Highlands by work and stayed for everything else, the quiet charm, the community and the landscape. They live local, shop local and support local, and that knowledge shows up in the everyday communications, operations and customer support you’ll receive.

Spacious homes, built with care

With decades of experience, we know what works and what doesn’t.

What sets us apart:

  • We thrive on a challenge. From what lies beneath the slab to the finishing touches, Dave is obsessed with getting the details right, especially on the sloping and difficult blocks other builders would rather avoid.
  • Locals at hand. A dedicated team of staff and trades who all live locally, so you always know who to call for an update.
  • Customer-led service. You’re in control of your home and vision, while we bring our knowledge and professional advice.
  • Build flexibility. Tailor your home to your lifestyle and preferences. You’re not locked into a plan that someone else decided was right for you.
  • Built for the Highlands climate. Hot summers and genuinely cold winters call for better insulation, better glazing and sensible orientation. We build above the minimum for exactly that reason.
  • Quality. We don’t cut corners. We pride ourselves on building beyond other builders’ standards and ensuring the details are not glossed over. We want your home to last, and our reputation depends on it.
  • Clear, fixed pricing. We present transparent quotes, and once you sign a contract with us, the price we quote is the price you pay.
  • A quarter of a century of homes. Building since 1999 and more than 350 homes delivered across regional New South Wales.

A glimpse at completed homes built by our local team.

Ive recently completed a knock down - rebuild of my house in Bowral NSW. Wattle Court Southern Highlands were the Builder. They were great to deal with throughout the whole process. I lived on site in a seperate studio accommodation while the work was being done. I could see that there was hardly a day when there wasn't a trade or 2 working on site. A sign of a well run project. There was gender diversity amongst the trades on site which was encouraging to have. The job was finished on time and within my budget. There were additional cost as the project progressed but this is expected and within the contingency I had set aside. This is family run business who live in the local community, I felt they conducted themselves ethically through the whole process.

We have just completed our first custom build with Wattle Court who have built us our dream home. Their attention to detail, flexibility and autonomy for design and finishes, expertise, timeliness and friendliness were the reasons we chose to build with them; and these remained steadfast throughout the entire process. Highly recommend and would build with them again!

Most impressed by the speed the house was built. Often there were 2 or even 3 trades working at the same time. Work literally started the week after our approval came through. The trades hired by Wattle Court are perfectionists - highly skilled artisans. It was enjoyable dealing with Sandeep our salesman from beginning, right till handover. David was always on hand and able to help with any decisions I needed to make which was important as this was the first proper house build I had done. Just excellent workmanship...
