How we work
View AllAt your first meeting with Jenkins Residential, we will discuss your ideas for your project, your style and your budget. We will also explain the Jenkins Residential process and the journey to achieving a timely and high-quality outcome.
We work closely with you and your design team, such as your architect or building designer, to produce plans to suit your project requirements and budget. With our extensive experience in the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle regions, we have the knowledge of local requirements, design inclusions, material selections and block orientation to bring comfort, energy efficiency and longevity to your project.
Once a design is finalised we will work with you to determine the level of finishes in your home. Whether you’re looking for a high end finish or more cost-effective options, we can guide you through your options for achieving your vision and maximising your budget. We then provide you with comprehensive project pricing including all selections, suppliers and trades and the total cost of your project.
We provide a comprehensive HIA contract which outlines every project detail. Once the contract is signed we will schedule a start date for your build.
Tom and the team are underway. Construction commences with clear communication, set timelines and regular planned site meetings. You will be kept up to date on the build process as you see your project come to life.
Choosing your colours, fixtures and fittings is one of the most exciting and fun steps of the building process, but we understand that this can be daunting for some. Interior designer Prue will guide you through the process, assisting you with choosing your interior and exterior colours, fixtures and fittings that reflect your unique needs and lifestyle.
Your build is complete to our exacting standards and is yours to enjoy. Whether it’s a complete renovation and reconfiguration, a secondary dwelling like a studio or granny flat, a partial home renovation/extension or a complete knockdown and rebuild – our core values and workmanship are non-negotiable and we deliver a timely and high-quality outcome..

Tom has worked on two separate houses for my family and I. Both times he was punctual, explained things in a way we could understand & was on budget.
Tom took the hassle out of the projects by managing all the other trades and keeping constant communication.
Tom completed an extensive renovation on our property in Mayfield and was fantastic to deal with throughout the whole process. Tom was able to solve problems on the run, was on time and on budget (no unexpected cost variations that are common with builders). The craftsmanship was outstanding and the finished product reflected that.
We had Tom complete work on our California Bungalow in Merewether. Tom and the team were unflustered when uncovering the inevitable issues found in old houses and worked to quickly rectify them with minimal fuss. The workmanship was 10 out of 10, with Tom ensuring all work completed was true to the original character of the house.
Tom and the team did an amazing job. The whole process from quote to completion was seamless. The job was completed both on time and on budget. Tom’s recommendations were bang on and we could not be any happier with the finished product. I have no problems in highly recommending Jenkins Residential, in fact I already have put some friends in contact with the team.
Tom and his team have completed numerous projects for us & have done a great job. We are very happy with the outcomes, the teams of tradesmen he brings together to work with on the projects & his manner in dealing with any issues. All outcomes have been very positive.
As a perfectionist myself, his work was excellent and finished to a high standard. His price is competitive with other builders. I would recommend Tom to my family and friends for building and carpentry work.
He was punctual each day and communicated throughout the job to achieve a quality long lasting result that we were instantly happy with. I have recommend Jenkins Residential to friends and family.
