– Our philosophy & core values –
– Local & Community –
As far as we’re concerned, Lake Macquarie is the nicest place in Australia if not the world. Not only are we locals, our team of contractors and suppliers are also locals. This is really important to us as we place a high emphasis on supporting local and small businesses as well as giving back to the community. Our director Billy also values giving back to the building industry by way of passing on his experience to others. Since Billara Building began in 2014, we’ve had two local apprentices who are now fully qualified Carpenters, something we are very proud of. Our most recent apprentice Dan was also awarded the Master Builders Apprentice of the year in 2023, which was amazing achievement for an incredible young man.
Billy has over 20 year’s experience in the building industry, working throughout Australia across the residential, commercial, aged care, retail, health, education, government, insurance, mining and industrial sectors.
His career in the building industry began as an apprentice carpenter with the Master Builders Association. During his apprenticeship he worked for a number of building companies throughout Newcastle and the Central Coast. He has since gained extensive experience throughout the industry having held a number of key management roles with some of Australia’s largest building and maintenance companies. He obtained his NSW builders licence in 2014.
If anyone is looking for a local building business, Shareen and I would highly recommend Billara. Our new stairs went in without any problems and far cheaper then any other builder we had quote on the work.

Billara Building recently completed some repairs to our home in Charlestown. We found all of the workers very professional and we were very happy with the job they did. My husband and I would definitely recommend Billara Building to others

Hi Billy, as the owner of unit 6, I would like to say how professional I feel you and your team have been throughout the project. Given the concrete driveway is shared by multiple residents and also services the property to the rear, the replacement works went very smoothly. The constant communication with all parties was also great as we were all kept informed of the progress. Once again many thanks
