About Dark Horse Building

At Dark Horse Building we’re committed to making your build as simple and stress-free as possible.

We aren’t a building company with one set way of doing things; we work alongside you to incorporate your ideas and design choices in a way that suits your project and budget.

To stay in control of our high-quality standards we complete as much of your build in-house as we can, using minimal subcontractors. We find our customers appreciate this as having fewer contractors involved also helps to keep the build price down.

For your peace of mind, we complete a detailed checklist at every major stage of the build and finish up with a 100-point checklist at the end of the project. 

You can trust Dark Horse Building to deliver a great build, on-time and on-budget.
