Halcyon Built
Halcyon recalls a time when things were made well. We build to that standard: quality homes, made to endure.
We take care of every aspect of your project, from in-house design, drafting and the paperwork through to handover. One accountable team, quality trades and products, and work checked at every stage.
About HalcyonServicesFrom design to handover.
From design to handover.
One standard.
Your project starts with our in-house building design and drafting, or our specialist architectural design service. We prepare the plans, take care of the paperwork and build it, so one team is accountable from start to finish. Already have plans from your own designer? We build to those with the same care.
Extensions
Considered additions, including second storeys, that feel as though they were always part of the home.

Renovations
From refined kitchens and bathrooms to complete structural transformations.
How we build
Designed from the roof down. Built from the ground up.
From the first drawings and approvals to slab, steel, frame, finish and handover, each stage is set out to the plans, checked, and overseen by a skilled craftsman. On our Willunga addition, curved walls of rammed earth: earth compacted layer by layer into solid walls of natural texture and thermal mass.

Our approachBuilt properly.
Built properly.
Led personally.
Owner-led oversight, one accountable team and clear communication, with a skilled team and trusted trades carrying out the work.
Craftsman-led
Roger Sketchley, Carpenter, Licensed Builder and Company Director, leads a skilled team and oversees every project, setting the standard and remaining accessible to clients throughout.
Diligent at every stage
Set-out, structure and finishes are checked against the plans as the work proceeds. Joinery and junctions are resolved with care, including the details most never notice.
Structural confidence
Significant renovations can mean returning a building to its frame. We work with structural engineers on the steel and supports that make it possible.
Trusted trades
Our team works alongside Adelaide trades and suppliers we know and trust, and we credit them for their work.
Client words
In their words
“Halcyon Built have been outstanding in all aspects of both existing home renovations and a new build. The entire team are reliable, trustworthy and easy to deal with whilst consistently delivering the final product to a very high standard. I have been so pleased with both the process and the outcome of work that I will certainly have Roger build my next project.”
“We love living in the Adelaide Hills but recently discovered extremely serious structural problems in our roof and below the floor … Eventually, we found Roger and Halcyon Built and I can honestly say that day changed our lives. … Roger is an outstanding communicator and operates with the kind of integrity, reliability and skill that is incredibly hard to find these days. … Dealing directly with the owner of the business is a game changer and I highly recommend Roger and his team.”
“We chose Halcyon Built for wainscoting and VJ board feature panels in our 12m long passage and main bedroom and are beyond thrilled with final result. … Everything was meticulous and the final touches took everything next level. … Halcyon's team were far and away the best on every aspect. 100% recommend and would hire again.”
