Darwin’s experts in renovations, extensions and new builds

From the initial consultation, drafting plans and engineering approval, all trades and subcontractors, to inspections and certificates we work with you to ensure everything is signed off to code and delivered to impeccable standard.

We are a family owned business in Darwin with a permanent team of fully qualified builders and two apprentices. Who are experts at transforming dilapidated properties into spectacular tropical dwellings. From renovating pre-Cyclone Tracy elevated and ex-commission houses to constructing new builds and bungalows, David and his team create beautiful, modern homes people love to live in.

Featured projects

We can completely transform your ex-commission house or classic Darwin elevated, or we can dramatically improve your lifestyle just by giving your bathroom or kitchen a makeover or extending your living space with a timber deck. View some of our favourite projects below.

From day one Dave and his team delivered an outstanding service

We were continually updated on the progress of the renovation, the entire process ran smoothly and it was completed on time. The quality of tradespeople DN Building uses is reflected in the final product, and we now have a family home that we’re very proud of.
