Member, Association of Professional BuildersBuilders Sutherland Shire is how CKS Projects trades in the Shire. CKS Projects is a boutique builder from Unanderra, Wollongong, run by Keiron Moore, with homes across the Illawarra, the South Coast and the Southern Highlands.
We build in one council area, Sutherland Shire, and we're upfront that our office and published projects are south of it. What crosses the border is the team, the process and the fixed-price contract.

A word from Keiron MooreKeiron Moore, Founder and Managing Director, CKS Projects · NSW Licence 258735C
Rebuild, build new, build two, build on the slope, build up, or rework what you have. One team and one fixed-price contract for each.
Swap the tired house for a new one on the land you own: demolition, approval and the build in one fixed-price contract.
Knockdown rebuilds: how it worksA new home designed around your block and how you live, seen in 3D first and priced in full before you sign.
Custom homes: how it worksTwo homes on one Shire lot, starting with whether the lot meets the dual occupancy controls, then design, approval and title.
Duplexes: how it worksHomes for steep and waterside lots on Port Hacking, the Georges River and the Woronora valley, engineered from the survey up.
Waterfront and sloping blocks: how it worksGo up instead of moving out: the existing frame and footings checked first, then a second storey that suits the house.
Second-storey additions: how it worksWhole-house renovations and rear extensions, with the usual old-house surprises investigated and priced before contract.
Renovations: how it worksYou always know which step you are on and what happens next.
A free discovery call: block, brief, budget. If the project isn't a fit for us, or another route would serve you better, we tell you then.
Keiron Moore inspects the lot: fall, access, soil, orientation, services, and the overlays on the planning certificate that decide whether it goes to Sutherland Shire Council or a certifier.
Plans developed for the site and your household, with 3D renderings and a virtual walk-through to check the layout before anything is built.
Working drawings, engineering and BASIX as one package, then a detailed fixed-price tender before a contract is signed.
A complying development certificate from a certifier or council where the lot qualifies, or a development application to Sutherland Shire Council, managed to determination.
The CKS Projects team and its trades build it, with regular site meetings and an online client portal showing the schedule and the latest site photos.

Every project on this site was built by CKS Projects in the Illawarra or on the South Coast, and each photo is labelled with its real location. The nearest to the Shire are Wombarra and Coledale, in northern Wollongong. We don't claim Shire projects we haven't published.
Three homeowners on the Illawarra coast on what the build was really like.
“We were delighted with the constant updates and transparency… The home has exceeded our expectations and we now call Keiron a friend.”
John and Renee
“Before the build we didn’t really have a space to entertain. Now we have this open space, heaps of light, and everything has its place.”
Terri
“The result is a breathtaking cliff-top retreat that balances timeless luxury with the clients’ vision for their forever home.”
Mike Vail, Architect
Reviews of CKS Projects, the team behind Builders Sutherland Shire.
“They made what can be the most stressful thing people ever do an absolute breeze. We were walked through every stage and there was no request that was an issue… The attention to detail is incredible.”
“Keiron oversaw a very complex build on a difficult site and he accomplished this with extraordinary attention to detail… Nothing was too much trouble for Keiron and he kept us fully updated with any issues that arose.”
“From helping us through the design stage to the professional way our job was managed. The end result met all our expectations and was delivered on time and on budget.”
Builders Sutherland Shire is the CKS Projects team led by Keiron Moore, who inspects every lot himself and stays your contact through the build.
“The journey to your dream home is just as important as the finished result, built with trust, care, and vision.”
