Designing & Building Thoughtful Homes for Modern Australian Living

At Hill House Design & Construct, we design and build thoughtful Australian homes across Toowoomba and surrounding regions through a carefully planned design-first building process. From restoring Queenslanders and timber cottages to creating timeless new homes, our work balances heritage, proportion, and modern function in a way that feels grounded, enduring, and designed for real family living.

Our work has been recognised nationally and across Queensland for craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and client experience, with every project carefully planned through a structured process that resolves design, scope, and pricing before construction begins.

Homes Built on Trust

  • AR + LD

    Hill House Construction recently did our renovations and James was incredibly helpful by offering thoughtful ideas that made our house more beautiful, functional, and comfortable to live in.

    Throughout the process, James was attentive and proactive, always ensuring every detail was working as it should. He welcomed all our questions and ideas, patiently walking us through different options and costs without any pressure.

    The entire team made the renovation experience smooth and stress-free. They were reliable, transparent, and easy to communicate with.

  • KYLIE B

    Hill House Constructions did our rebuild and renovation after a fire significantly damaged our home. From start to finish, James and his team were very professional.

    His quality workmanship and attention to detail throughout the process was fantastic. He communicated clearly to us every step of the way.

    Our home not only feels restored, it feels even better than before! We’re truly grateful for the care and pride they put into their work.

    Highly recommend to anyone needing a builder you can trust!

  • SUSAN B

    I recently had some old aluminum windows and doors replaced with timber French doors by HHC.

    James' work was very professional and we are thrilled with the work he has done. James communicated to me every day as to what time he would arrive and was professional in every aspect of his work.

    Couldn't be happier.

    The timber doors look fabulous and his work has transformed the house.

    Highly recommend.

  • DANIELLE B

    James and the Hill House team completed our bathroom renovation. We absolutely love the finished result.

    The attention to detail and high quality of finish is what sets them a part from everyone else. We always knew what the next step was and the bathroom was completed before estimated time.

    We absolutely love our new bathroom and cannot recommend them enough.

    Thank you!

  • MICHAEL S

    James renovated my Bathroom and Laundry and did a thorough and professional job. James started on time and worked hard to finish on time.

    I'm very happy with the result.

  • MORGAN S

    We engaged HHC to completely remodel our kitchen & dining spaces. James was fantastic when organising the supplies & trades required for our Toowoomba cottage, and his work was exceptional.

    We couldn’t be happier!

  • LEO W

    Thanks to James for the renovation work he did on our spa deck and shed. Very happy with the outcome and his attention to detail to make sure all was right.

    Would certainly use again and recommend to others.

  • KAREN G

    My experience with Hill House Constructions was excellent.

    James' attention to detail, consultation abilities and craftmanship were faultless. He is a true artisan who delights in a job well done.

    We are very satisfied with the 2 renovations he has done for us and would recommend his company to anyone wanting quality work done.

  • GABBY M

    Working with the team at Hill House Constructions was an absolute dream.
