A bit about us
Wattle Court Sydney North
Wattle Court Sydney North is a local, family-owned home builder delivering custom and new homes across the Northern Beaches and North Shore. Trading as AMDE Constructions Pty Ltd, it is owned and operated by Horst and Mel Lueckl, with the business transitioning to their daughter Daisy and son-in-law Marc Lawler.
The family has been building on the Northern Beaches for more than 40 years, with over 350 homes completed. The business joined the Wattle Court network in July 2024, bringing a national brand and a proven set of systems to a team that was already deeply local.
We build custom homes, knockdown rebuilds in established suburbs, modified and pre-designed homes, dual occupancy and duplex homes, all tailored to your block and the way our clients live. Whether you are rebuilding in the suburb you love or creating your forever home, you work with a family team who treat you like family.

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.
