Specialising in residential projects of varying sizes, from complex new builds to small additions — built well.
The size of the job changes. The standard doesn't. You work directly with Braidan from the first conversation to handover, backed by trade relationships built over a decade across the South Coast and Southern Highlands.
Our Story
Established in 2017, Bower Building Group is a custom residential builder specialising in projects of varying sizes, from complex new builds to small additions, across the South Coast and Southern Highlands.
We think building a home works better with real communication — not just reassurance. That means honest numbers, honest timelines, and a process where you're actually involved in the decisions, not just updated on them.
Led by licensed builder Braidan Thorncroft, who brings over a decade of industry experience, we work directly with you from the first conversation through to handover. Strong relationships with trusted trades and reputable suppliers, built up over years rather than sourced job to job, are what let us bring the same level of care to every project — whatever its scale.
“"We are fortunate to have a builder who has been doing work here since he was an apprentice. He is a craftsman in a time when they are few and far between — committing the same quality to a small job as he does to a multi-million dollar home, turning rough sawn timber into art."”
— Mark, Barranca Retreats

We offer a full range of residential building services: new builds, renovations, luxury accommodation, project management, pre-construction advice, and cost estimating. Whatever stage your project is at, there's likely a way we can help.
-
Yes. We work across everything from complex new builds to small additions, and we bring the same standard of care to a job regardless of its scale.
-
Yes — we have direct experience working on BAL-40 and Flame Zone rated properties, which carry stricter construction requirements than standard builds. If your site falls into one of these zones, that's a conversation worth having early, before design work locks anything in.
-
Not necessarily. If you already have plans or are working with a designer, we'll build around them. If you don't, we can guide you through that process too.

We work across the South Coast and Southern Highlands of NSW
-
This varies by project size and scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline as part of your quote, and keep you updated if anything changes along the way.
-
It depends entirely on the scope, site, and finish level, so we won't give you a number without understanding your project first. What we will do is give you an honest, detailed cost estimate before you commit to anything — not a rough figure with hidden assumptions.
-
Through proper estimating before construction starts, so the numbers you agree to are based on real detail, not guesswork.
-
Reach out for an initial conversation — We'll talk through your site, your brief, and your budget and go from there. You can call, email, or fill out the contact form and we'll get back to you.
