ABout Horton Construction
In 2020, Horton Construction was founded with a vision to create exceptional custom homes that embrace the beauty and lifestyle of the Northern Beaches. As a family- run business local to the area, we’ve built a reputation for delivering homes of uncompromising quality and architectural excellence. Every project we undertake is designed to complement the coastal surroundings while showcasing innovative design.
Specialising in the design, management, and construction of luxury custom homes, renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds, we offer a full-service approach that ensures your vision is brought to life with precision and care.
Our understanding of the Northern Beaches & surrounding areas allows us to craft homes that not only blend seamlessly with their surroundings but also become a true reflection of our clients’ individuality.
Our key philosophy is to make sure we’re ‘on the same team’ at all times. We want to align with clients, trades and suppliers who enjoy a collaborative approach to the construction journey- who also enjoy having a laugh along the way.
This approach has allowed us to gain a reputation beyond the quality of the homes that we build, and has allowed us to form genuine, lasting relationships with our clients.
We also place great value on the relationships we build with local architects and designers. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, and we genuinely believe that the projects that we undertake are a direct reflection of the strong partnerships that we cultivate.
At the end of the day, we want to build beautiful homes for good people. We thrive on construction that pushes boundaries, and as a boutique builder, we only take on a select number of projects, ensuring we dedicate our full attention to every detail of your building journey.
