Ballast Point

About

Ballast Point is an integrated architecture and construction company that works with discerning clients on high-quality projects, both big and small, in suburbs including Balmain, Balmain East, Birchgrove, Rozelle, and throughout Sydney.

If you’re looking for a builder, we can do everything a property owner needs, from maintenance, roof repairs, and chimney repairs to building wine cellars and major renovations, extensions, and refurbishments. Our architects ensure that every project reflects the highest standards of design & build.

At Ballast Point, we believe that relationships are paramount. We love working with clients to ascertain what they need from us and delivering a tailored solution. Our architects start each conversation with “what do you need?” rather than “this is what we do.” We aim to change the way buildings are created so our clients feel inspired, informed, and supported. We exist to help our clients transform their houses into something truly exceptional that enriches their life through thoughtful architecture and design & build excellence.

We are constantly learning and evolving; redefining what a design & build company can be. Our architecture team does not place limits on ourselves. We embrace new technology to create systems that work for our clients, staff, collaborators, and the community.

He is easy and professional to deal with and for us, has the perfect combination of design + in house building capability...a bit of a rare find. Highly recommend Mat and Ballast Point Design and Construction to anyone!"

Craig

"We engaged Ballast point to give us some pre-purchase advice and sketches. Both Mat Wilks and Peter Maxwell were lovely to work with. They turned up on site and talked us through our options and what we could do with the property.

I did not expected such a great service and kindness from the team. Hoping to find a property soon and get Ballast to help us realise our vision.

Thank you so much for your help Mat and Peter."

Always cordial, always professional, from design to finished product we were delighted with the professionalism, respectfulness and integrity of everyone we dealt with. To say we are delighted with the end product is an understatement. The work and the experience exceeded our expectations."

They were absolutely brilliant from their upfront and transparent nature to their incredible eye for detail creating a flawless execution of what now is our dream home. We have no hesitation in recommending Mat, Geoff and the rest of the team and look forward to our next build with them!"

"Ballast Point provided pre-purchase inspection of a property. They gave me excellent professional advice regarding feasibility of the renovation and realistic issues that may arise. This allowed me to make wiser decision about the property purchase! Highly recommend."
