Meet the builder - Horst and Mel Lueckl

Locals through and through

“I began my journey in construction in Austria as an engineering student. During the holidays I worked as a labourer, and that’s where I discovered my passion for the hands-on nature of home building over commercial projects. Since then I’ve devoted my career to creating beautiful, high-quality homes.

I was lucky enough to land in the Northern Beaches when I arrived from Austria, and I’ve never left. Why wouldn’t you want to live somewhere that feels like a holiday every day? Mel and I have raised our family here and now we all live within kilometres of each other in Manly. We can’t see ourselves anywhere else.

Having built in the region for over 30 years, we know it like the back of our hand. Even our tradespeople and suppliers are locals to the area. With that deep local knowledge, we can help you navigate the challenges of building here and working with council with ease.

We design and build custom homes, tailored to your specific needs and preferences as well as the shape, size and aspect of your land. Our expertise shines in tackling the unique challenges of the Northern Beaches, from designing on sloping blocks to ensuring compliance with strict flood and flame zone regulations. We love to take on the blocks that others in the industry prefer not to touch. Marc and I are well known in the region for having a knack for problem solving, and being able to identify potential problems in the plans before they cause costly and time-consuming issues down the track is one of our real strengths.

We are a close-knit team bound together by our commitment to be and do the best that we can. You’ll see the same dedicated faces through each part of your building journey, people who know our business intimately. We can’t wait to create something extraordinary with you.”

We are proud locals serving the Northern Beaches and North Shore regions. Our close-knit team is bound together by our commitment to do the best that we can. You’ll see the same dedicated faces through each part of your building journey – people who know our business intimately and have been instrumental in shaping who we are and how we operate today. We can’t wait to create something extraordinary with you.

What our clients say

Best builders on the Beaches – We had a wonderful building experience with Wattle Court Sydney North. People say building can be a nightmare and very stressful. I have to say we found the opposite. From Jane taking us through our design and flexible options to Tyler going through our materials and finishes. We found it really enjoyable. Daniel our builder was fantastic, he communicated all that was happening really clearly and his workmanship was such a high standard. Donna has been so great to deal with from start to finish and has made the whole build really a pleasant experience.

Andy

The Wattle Court Team were outstanding in guiding us through the planning and design stage for our new home. The trades and supervision were excellent. We were kept well informed during the build process until completion which was virtually on time not withstanding a difficult period for obtaining materials and some trades. The quality of the build and the finishes are first class. Any post build issues ( of which there were few ) were resolved promptly and courteously. We love our home and have received many positive comments from people passing by.

Robert

I can't speak more highly of our experience with Wattle Court after using them to build our new home. From the planning stage to the execution, they were professional and we had a great experience and we are now loving our fabulous home. The after care communication is also fantastic. I can highly recommend Wattle Court for a builder.
