Custom builds, extensions and renovations.

What We Do Best

New Home Building

Architecturally designed homes that are tailored to your lifestyle, location, and vision.

Renovations & Extensions

Transforming existing homes to better suit the way you live, whether that means modern updates or expanded living space.

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.

New Home Building

A new home is an exciting milestone. At Waddell Projects, we make the journey as seamless as possible. Our process balances architectural design, structural integrity, and lifestyle considerations to create homes that feel truly yours.

From concept and design through to handover, our team works with you to ensure your home is comfortable, functional, and tailored to Brisbane’s climate. We integrate natural ventilation, sustainable practices, and high-quality finishes to deliver homes that look as good as they feel.

We pride ourselves on delivering:

  • Architectural Detail: Unique designs that reflect your individuality.
  • Climate-Smart Homes: Built for Queensland’s conditions.
  • Modern Features: Smart technology, premium fixtures, and future-ready layouts.

Renovations & Extensions

Sometimes your dream home is the one you already live in—just with the right changes. Our renovations and extensions service transforms spaces to improve both function and aesthetics.

We work with homeowners who want to:

  • Expand their living areas.

  • Add new rooms or levels.

  • Modernise outdated layouts.

  • Enhance lifestyle and property value.

Our goal is to ensure your home works better for your family now and in the future, while maintaining its character and integrity.
