Design and build
We take the home from the first brief through design, approval and construction under one scope.

Builders in Mosman
Custom homes and major alterations in Mosman, designed and built around the harbour, the slope and the street.
WHISPER / Mosman · Harbour Outlook
01 / The proposition
Harbour light. A home shaped around it.
A Mosman brief often starts with the outlook. The fall of the land, the neighbours' views and the way the house meets a leafy street need equal care. So does the harbour weather.
We start with your address and what you want the home to do. Then we discuss the design and construction scope. We can also review drawings your architect has prepared.
Our Mosman work includes WHISPER, a waterfront residence designed by SHORE and due for completion in 2027.

Building in Mosman
Confirm the planning context for your address before the design is set. Mosman's controls consider views, landscape and the harbour setting alongside height and setbacks.
- 01
Read the lot controls
Use the LEP maps and the Residential DCP to read height, floor space, landscaped area and setbacks for the address. Ask your planner which State policies also apply.
- 02
Weigh foreshore and views
Waterfront and harbour facing lots can carry foreshore and scenic controls. View sharing with neighbouring homes is often part of the assessment.
- 03
Confirm heritage status
Check whether the property is listed or within a conservation area before deciding what can change.
- 04
Plan ground and access
Many Mosman sites fall steeply to the water. Discuss geotechnical input, excavation and delivery access early.
Planning resources
A Mosman sequence
From the harbour outlook to the finished home.
Harbourside sites carry their own planning and construction questions. These are the stages we work through for a Mosman home.
Read the site
Survey the levels, rock, access and outlook. Note the views of neighbouring homes as well as your own.
Test the controls
Confirm the zoning, heritage status and foreshore controls for the address before the plan is set.
Design
Shape the plan, the facade and the interiors around the light, the view and the way you live.
Materials
Choose materials for salt air and harbour weather, with care requirements agreed with the suppliers.
Site planning
Plan excavation, delivery and neighbours' access on streets that are often steep and narrow.
Build and settle
Carry the documented work through structure, finishes and handover to the first year in the home.

Questions to bring early
Questions about building in Mosman
Has SHORE worked in Mosman?
Yes. WHISPER is a six-bedroom waterfront home in Mosman designed by SHORE. It is due for completion in 2027.
Which controls apply to a Mosman home?
Mosman Council applies the Mosman LEP 2012 and its Residential DCP. Waterfront lots may also carry foreshore and scenic controls. Your planner confirms the controls for your address.
What changes on a waterfront site?
Salt air, steep ground and limited access all shape the build. We plan materials, excavation and delivery around the site from the start.
Do you take on alterations as well as new homes?
Yes. We discuss new homes, knockdown rebuilds and major alterations. The existing house and the controls decide which suits your site.
