WHY BASED BUILD

LESS HANDOVER. MORE CONTROL.

One of the strengths of Based Build is the breadth of work we can undertake.

Having capability across excavation, site preparation, formwork, concrete, hardscape and landscape construction creates greater continuity across a project.

There are fewer gaps between trades.

Fewer opportunities for details to be missed.

And greater accountability for the finished result.

For builders and commercial clients, that can mean a capable contractor who understands the bigger construction program rather than only their individual scope.

For architects and designers, it means working with a team that respects detail, materials and design intent.

For homeowners, it means dealing with people who can see the whole job rather than a collection of disconnected tasks.

One team. From the ground up.

  • The ground work matters.

    We undertake excavation and groundworks with careful consideration of site conditions, access, levels and the construction requirements that follow.

    Our experience on the ground allows us to identify issues early, work efficiently and prepare sites properly for the next stage.

    Capabilities include:

    Site excavation
    Ground preparation
    Cut and fill
    Site clearing
    Trenching
    Footing excavation
    Drainage preparation
    Detailed excavation
    Site establishment and preparation

  • Accuracy at ground level affects everything that follows.

    We provide profiling and detailed site preparation to establish correct levels, falls and surfaces before construction progresses.

    Whether preparing for concrete, hardscape, landscape or other construction works, we focus on creating an accurate base from which the rest of the project can be built.

  • Formwork requires accuracy, planning and an understanding of the finished structure.

    Based Build provides formwork solutions across residential and commercial applications, with close attention paid to dimensions, levels, structural requirements and finish.

    We specialise in decorative and details formwork finishes.

    We approach every formwork package with the same objective: get it right before the concrete goes in.

  • Our concrete capability extends from structural and functional applications through to highly visible architectural and decorative finishes.

    We understand preparation, placement, levels, falls, finishing and curing, and bring the same attention to detail regardless of whether the concrete will ultimately be concealed or become a defining feature of the project.

    Capabilities include:

    Slabs
    Footings
    Pathways
    Driveways
    External concrete
    Structural concrete works
    Architectural concrete
    Decorative concrete finishes
    Exposed aggregate
    Specialty finishes

  • The external areas of a property should feel as resolved as the building itself.

    Based Build delivers hardscape elements with an understanding of both construction and landscape requirements.

    We consider levels, drainage, interfaces, material transitions and long-term performance to create external spaces that work properly and are finished properly.

    Capabilities include:

    Paving
    Retaining elements
    Pathways
    Steps
    Edging
    External structures
    Concrete elements
    Garden structures
    Landscape construction
    External finishing works

  • Our landscaping capability allows us to carry a project through from the heavy groundwork into its finished external environment.

    Rather than treating landscaping as an isolated final stage, we consider it from the beginning — ensuring excavation, levels, drainage, hardscape and planting requirements work together.

    The result is a more cohesive outdoor environment and a smoother construction process.
