“Back in the good old days, when they built things to last” is commonly stated whenever we’re reminded of the low-quality outcomes often associated with high-speed design and mass-volume production.
In an era of efficiency, with houses appearing out of thin air and flat-pack furnishings falling apart faster than we can assemble them, we’ve come to appreciate the time, skill, and experience needed to achieve a high-quality outcome. When that expertise is matched with a sincere interest in our vision and a commitment to bringing it to life, we realise we’ve struck gold.
This is precisely why the team at Buildscope has received so many accolades within their industry. Having previously won the ‘2021 HIA South Australian Renovation/Addition Project for over $1 million’, they’ve now been nominated in two categories for the upcoming 2024 Master Builders SA Building Excellence Awards, to be held in August.
Buildscope is a family-owned South Australian boutique home building, renovation, and extension business that values the quality of its relationships as much as the quality and sustainability of its award-winning homes.
Partners in business and life, Jacqui and Peter Sharpe-Hall, co-founders of Buildscope, bring decades of shared values and experience in the building industry, with a specific focus on and passion for bespoke home design and construction. They’re joined by their son Joseph and a select team of stellar architectural, design and trades professionals.
Joseph elaborated on Buildscope’s values, saying, “Building together with our clients is at the heart of what we do at Buildscope. Our collaborative approach is built on trust, expertise, and communication. By working closely with you, listening to your ideas, and understanding your vision, we create a bespoke custom home that truly reflects you and your family.”
The family’s dedication to sustainability, quality, and tailored designs that embrace and enhance their clients’ lifestyles is paramount, resulting in their unique ‘quality over quantity’ business model.
“Our exclusive approach means we limit the number of projects we undertake. This allows us to dedicate our full attention to your home, ensuring every detail is meticulously managed and every aspect of the build meets our high standards.”
Developing relationships based on honesty and trust is paramount to Buildscope’s ability to determine how you and your family move through and function within your home’s spaces, now and in the future. This informs how they build new homes and expand upon existing ones, ensuring seamless transitions and congruency of character and aesthetics.
With its boutique studio sitting upon Norwood’s beautiful Osmond Terrace, Buildscope is surrounded by homes it has built or improved. Extending beyond their immediate vicinity, you’ll also find Buildscope transformations enhancing the streets of Stonyfell, Myrtle Bank, Adelaide, Tennyson, Henley Beach, Toorak Gardens, Glenelg and more.
With property prices increasing, it’s sometimes a wiser investment to expand upon the home you own than to buy or build a new home. As experts in both approaches, Buildscope will discuss your dream outcome, assessing the potential and limitations of each approach.
A highlight of their portfolio is their Toorak Gardens renovation and extension project, which won the aforementioned ‘2021 HIA South Australian Renovation/Addition Project for over $1 million’ award. Not only was this home a success for Buildscope but also its owner, Jo.
Jo shared that “It was a huge undertaking with complicated design and engineering, but Buildscope did an excellent job working through all the build stages of the extension and remodel to the back and side of our Villa.
Having to work with the existing 1901 dwelling brought its own challenges but nothing was too hard. The communication was great and we worked together as a team to achieve our beautiful home. Thankyou Buildscope”
