    Nowra Builders in Brief

    Nowra Builders is the name CKS Projects uses for its work in the Shoalhaven. CKS Projects is a boutique builder from Unanderra, Wollongong, led by Managing Director Keiron Moore, and its homes stand along the coast from the northern Illawarra to Jervis Bay.

    The Huskisson Duplex is ours. So is the 2026 MBA NSW Southern Regions award for Wombarra Clifftops. Both came from the same builder-led process you get here.

    Why Nowra Builders

    One Team From First Sketch to Handover

    Design, approvals and construction stay with one builder and one contract, whether you're rebuilding, building new or adding on.

    • Builder-led from day one. Keiron Moore walks every block before anything is designed.
    • Shoalhaven-ready. Bushfire, flood and coastal overlays are read before the brief, not after.
    • One fixed price. A detailed tender before you sign, with no provisional sums.
    • Real local work. The Huskisson Duplex on Jervis Bay was built by this team.

    What we build

    What We Build in the Shoalhaven

    Five kinds of project, one team and one fixed-price contract. Each page covers the process, the Shoalhaven approvals and what moves the cost.

    Knockdown rebuilds

    Clear the old house and build a new one on the block you already own, with demolition, approvals and construction in one fixed-price contract.

    Knockdown rebuilds in the Shoalhaven

    Custom homes

    A home drawn for your land and your household, shown in 3D before it is built and priced in full before you sign.

    Custom homes in the Shoalhaven

    Duplexes

    Two homes on one lot, like the Huskisson Duplex we built on Jervis Bay, planned from the lot size and title up.

    How it runs

    Six Steps From First Call to Keys

    One team runs every step, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

    Step 01

    Discovery call

    A free call about the block, the brief and the budget. If we aren't the right builder for it, or a different approach would suit you better, you hear that on the call.

    Step 02

    Keiron walks the block

    Slope, access, soil, aspect, existing services, and the overlays on the lot, from bushfire and flood mapping to coastal controls, all of which shape the approval pathway with Shoalhaven City Council.

    Step 03

    Design

    A design for your land and the way you live, with 3D renderings and a virtual walk-through so the layout is checked before anything is built.

    Step 04

    Documents and fixed price

    Working drawings, engineering, BASIX and any bushfire report prepared together, then a detailed fixed-price tender before a contract is signed.

    Step 05

    Approval

    A complying development certificate from a certifier or council where the site qualifies, or a development application to Shoalhaven City Council, managed through to determination.

    Step 06

    Build and handover

    Built by the CKS Projects team and its trades, with regular site meetings and an online client portal showing the schedule and the latest site photos.

    Built by our team

    From Jervis Bay to the Illawarra Coast

    The Huskisson Duplex is our Shoalhaven work. The other two show how CKS Projects handles hard sites: a clifftop rebuild and a steep bushfire-rated block.
