Builders in the Northern Rivers
Ballina, Byron and Lismore local government areas · within a 60 km radius of Skennars Head
Oceanside is a boutique residential builder working across the Northern Rivers, from the Ballina and Lennox coast through Byron Shire and out into the hinterland.
We build custom homes, whole-home renovations, extensions and the joinery inside them. We keep the number of jobs low on purpose: you deal with the person building your house, costs are planned early, and variations are priced before the work happens.
Every home in our archive was built by our own crew within an hour of where we live. That's the version of local building we think is worth paying for.

What our clients say
Every home we build is handed over with the same care we’d want in our own. These are the words of the people we’ve built for.
See all reviews on GoogleDo you build in the Northern Rivers?
Yes. the Northern Rivers sits inside our working radius from Skennars Head, so our own crew is on site rather than a rotating list of subcontractors managed from a distance.
How long does a custom home or renovation take?
It depends on the scope, but we run a small number of jobs at once so the program we set at quoting is the program we build to. We walk you through the full twelve-step Success Process before anything is signed.
Will you work with our architect or designer?
Most of our work comes through architects and designers. We price detail early so drawings get built as drawn rather than watered down on site.
How is pricing handled?
Costs are planned early with a full quantity estimate, and any variation is priced before the work happens. You deal with the person building your house, not a sales layer.
