About Us

Swanston Build is about ensuring you have the lifestyle that you wish while increasing the value of your property to its maximum.

Scott is a builder with over 30 years experience. And having completed many projects he understands the importance of listening to his clients. The first meeting is all about you and your requirements. Scott asks specific questions and takes the time to understand your wants and needs.
Renovating is not easy but with an experienced hand to guide you through the process it can be enjoyable and rewarding. The first major consideration is your budget and its importance within the decision-making framework. Then with an established budget, we can work hard to ensure you achieve real value for money without compromising quality. With the budget established, we can then move onto the design and product selection process With a fixed budget in mind you can visit showrooms, or scan the web, confident in the knowledge your selections are well-considered and within budget. Then if need be Scott can meet at a showroom to help guide you through the product and purchase process.
Quite often the sales consultant will ask specific questions, and with Scott on hand, or if you are confident to go it alone, he can be contacted, any question can be answered as it arises.
That said, we work hard to get you the best prices and will point you in the right direction to achieve this. Once the products have been selected we can then move into the construction phase.

Our tradespeople are the first-rate, and they look after your interests. They are reliable and take pride in their work. It’s not within our DNA to cut corners. We do pride ourselves in going that extra mile to ensure you’re totally happy with the result. And results are important as many of Scott’s clients can and have testified. Consequently, many have remained loyal with enduring friendships developed over many years through repeat business and social interactions. Scott is more than happy to meet with you, take the time to ensure you feel comfortable, then work with you to move to the next step. If you feel comfortable engaging Swanston Build please call us, we look forward to meeting with you soon.

What our clients say

I have run my own interior design practice for 25 years providing design, documentation and overseeing both commercial and residential projects.
Experience has taught me that the most successful projects are achieved with a collaborative approach between the client, the designer and those responsible for construction.
The optimum elements of a great project include a well-considered brief, creative vision, thoughtful planning; and practical design resolution in the construction phase. It takes a Team to make that happen.
I recently collaborated on a project with Scott Swanson and can unhesitatingly say the project was very successful due in large part to the collaborative approach and construction know-how of the Team at Little Big Projects.

Louise Sullivan Design

I found builder Scott Swanston to be reliable, responsive and works at a high standard.
I am happy to recommend Scott to any of my friends or colleagues.

Bruce Applebaum

Scott ws incredibly helpful in managing our apartment renovations, and ensuring all the works happened on time and within budget.
He made what could have been a very stressful period of our lives as stress free as possible

Amelia and Toby

Hi Scott, I was very happy with the renovation you did for me in my apartment in the Elan building. I found your costings reasonable and not over budget at the end of the job. 
You were always on time for meetings and most importantly you were empathic and listened to my requirements. You always found a solution for any problem.

Diana Smith Real Estate Agent

I have engaged Scott and his team to do four separate home renovation projects over the last 20 years. They have always completed them on time and within budget. However, what sets Scott apart from many builders, I believe, is his terrific eye for design. He has often made creative practical suggestions which have added enormously to my appreciation of my renovated surrounds.

Diana Leichhardt

I would recommend Scott Swanston because he is honest, is a good builder who does not cut corners and is a good communicator. I would use him again.

Alan Rose

This is to say that I have known Scott Swanston for over twenty years. During that time Scott has done several renovation projects for me in a range from $20,000 to $200,000. I have always found him attentive to my requirements and very helpful in the design and logistic side. 
He has a sharp eye for attention to detail and is always concerned with the required attention to detail. I would recommend him for your next project

Michael Jeffrey

Scott has been involved in two builds with us. He handled both projects very professionally with quality work, was intuitive when issues arose and worked with good tradesmen.
We have no hesitation in recommending his services
