Vision and Values

At The Building Company, we create homes that elevate the everyday and redefine what it means to live well. Founded in Adelaide in 2018 by husband-and-wife team Matt and Nerida Box, our company began with a clear goal: to raise the bar in residential construction, combining quality craftsmanship with transparency, design empathy, and a deeply personalised approach. From the beginning, we’ve been driven by a belief that building can be better — more collaborative, more considered, and defined by genuine care.

As a multi-award-winning builder, we specialise in high-end renovations and architecturally led new builds. We work with those who value considered design, enduring quality and genuine collaboration. Our projects are defined by clarity, craftsmanship and a deep respect for the creative process, shaped in partnership with leading architects, interior designers and consultants.

We are meticulous in our delivery and uncompromising in our standards, with a future-focused approach that ensures every home we build is as enduring as it is refined. From concept to completion, we manage complexity with confidence, bringing a sense of calm and clarity to the building experience. Named HIA’s 2024 Professional Small Builder of the Year, we are proud to be recognised not only for the homes we deliver but for how we deliver them.

Who we are

At The Building Company, we’ve built more than a team - we’ve assembled a group of highly skilled, design-aligned professionals who are passionate about delivering exceptional homes. Our culture is defined by clarity, accountability and an obsession with detail. We move as one - from site to studio - bringing deep technical knowledge, intelligent problem-solving and a calm, collaborative energy to every stage of the process. We work closely with leading architects and interior designers, creating an environment where ideas are respected, craftsmanship is elevated, and complexity is handled with ease. This is a team that thrives on high standards and shared outcomes - where everyone is invested in delivering not only a refined result, but a remarkable experience.
