Where we build
Coffs Coast and the
villages either side of it
Tallowwood builds throughout the Coffs Coast — from Emerald Beach and Woolgoolga in the north, down through Coffs Harbour and Sawtell to Boambee and Bonville, and out to Corindi Beach and Red Rock. If your place sits a bit further out, ask us: we’ll tell you straight whether we can service it properly.

Good questions
The things people ask before they call
What happens after I request a quote?
We call you, usually within one business day, and ask enough questions to work out whether it’s a job for us. If it is, we come and look at the place. After that you get a written, itemised quote — not a number over the phone.
Are you a licensed builder?
Yes. Tallowwood Building Company Pty Ltd holds NSW contractor licence 455480C, and it’s run by Steve Nicholas, a licensed builder working on the Coffs Coast. You can check the licence yourself on the NSW Government’s Verify NSW register. The number and our public liability details are on every quote and contract, and we’re happy to send them through before you commit to anything.
What areas do you service?
The Coffs Coast — Coffs Harbour, Emerald Beach, Sandy Beach, Woolgoolga, Sapphire Beach, Moonee Beach, Korora, Sawtell, Boambee, Bonville, Corindi Beach, Red Rock, Safety Beach and Mullaway. We’re based at Emerald Beach, so the northern beaches are home ground. Further afield, ask us.
How do you price a job?
We come and look at it first, always. From there you get a written, itemised quote that separates the build cost from provisional sums and prime cost items, so you can see exactly what is fixed and what still needs a decision from you. No lump-sum guesswork.
Do you take on small jobs?
We started as carpenters and we still enjoy the smaller work — decks, staircases, a laundry, a floor. If it’s a good job with good people we’ll look at it. If we’re not the right fit we’ll tell you and point you somewhere useful.
