Trusted Builder With 20 Years of Experience
Hi, I’m Jesse McCabe, longtime local and licensed builder in Newcastle.
I know firsthand how valuable an attentive and capable builder is. That’s why I only take on one home at a time, which means no juggling, no delays, and no competing priorities.
Your project gets my full attention.
"McCabe Building built us our dream home and we could not be happier. Jesse was very knowledgeable, helped us a lot with design ideas and picking our finishes, had lovely tradies working with him and was very good at communicating building works. He was even very patient when I kept changing my mind about things!"

How long does a typical renovation or extension take?
If you’re looking for a down-to-earth, on-time, skilled, compassionate, and responsible builder, you’re in the right place. I’ve been building homes in and around Newcastle for 20 years and have been working with the same team of tradies and suppliers for most of that time. Our quality of workmanship is unmatched.
The thing that makes McCabe Building stand out is my communication, attention, and being proactive with my clients. I only take on one project at a time. I treat your home as my own. I’m passionate about what I do and welcome you to reach out anytime about your project.

In most cases, yes. Renovations can be disruptive, but I work as respectfully as possible so families can stay in their homes if they choose. We’ll talk through what makes the most sense for your situation.

It’s helpful to have a budget range in mind. That gives me a starting point to make recommendations and guide the project in a way that works best for you.

It depends on your goals. If you need more space connected to your home, an extension is usually the right choice. If you want a fully self-contained living space (for family, as an office space, or as an investment), a granny flat is the better option. I’m happy to talk through both with you.

Do I need plans before I work with you?
Yes, but it’s best to lock in decisions before work begins. Changes can affect both the timeline and the budget, so I’ll be upfront with you about what any adjustment means before moving forward.
