Welcome to Waddell Projects
At Waddell Projects, we don’t just build houses—we create homes that reflect the people who live in them. Based in Brisbane, we are a family-owned building company known for our focus on craftsmanship, collaboration, and care.
Our philosophy is simple: every project deserves attention to detail, transparency, and a personal touch. Whether you’re designing your first home or renovating your forever home, we deliver outcomes that combine architectural beauty with long-lasting quality.
